Bo is the Founder and Principal at GoodBeing Co. and host of the GoodBeing Podcast. He is an urban, environmental, and energy planner by training, and former executive director of a youth-led sustainability not for profit organization. The son of Nigerian immigrants, he has spent time living in the UK, Canada, Hungary and Denmark - which has all contributed to giving him a deep sense of appreciation and belonging to the world as a whole.
Through his experience working with sustainability advocates and professionals, Bo has seen and felt the risks of burnout, anxiety, fear, and eco-grief facing so many. As a long-time mindfulness and meditation practitioner, his passion is to help people hold the reality of the scale of the challenges we face through mindful awareness, while also using collaboration, creativity, storytelling, and dialogue to help teams navigate challenging topics and goals. He also encourages a holistic approach to wellbeing, with a focus on reconnecting with our bodies as a key component of mental and physical health.
Bo brings a calm and welcoming presence as a communicator and facilitator, and a sense of safety to difficult conversations. As an Executive Director, he facilitated dialogue and collaboration between young sustainability professionals and leading Canadian businesses to provide creative solutions to inclusive hiring and workplace culture practices. As the founder and principal of GoodBeing Co., he works with businesses, organizations, and community groups to develop new ways of being that blend sustainability strategy and transition economy leadership development with creating cultures of belonging. His experience includes working with a broad variety of organizations including Meridian Credit Union, ABB, Suncor, TELUS, Canadian Community Economic Development Network, and Natural Resources Canada.
