Who We Are
Red Page Leadership is a leadership development company built around a practical idea:
knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to do it when the situation is in front of you.
We work with leaders and organizations on the decisions, conversations, and challenges they actually face, so what leaders learn becomes something they can use.
Our Story
Red Page Leadership was founded by Franc Godri, drawing in part on his experience as a military pilot. The name comes from the “red pages” inside a pilot's checklist which house the critical emergency procedures pilots learn and practise, because how they respond can have serious consequences for what happens next.
That idea has stayed with us as Red Page Leadership has evolved: learning what matters most, when you can draw on it, and use it in the moments you need it most.
Today, we work with leaders and organizations to develop and strengthen capabilities they can use in the real decisions, conversations, and challenges they face everyday.
The Journey
Franc's approach to leadership has been shaped by a career that has taken him through very different worlds. Born in Montreal and raised between Quebec and Georgia, some of his earliest lessons came in the wilderness with his mentor, Mr. Van Herk, who taught him enduring lessons about problem solving, perseverance, and teamwork. After graduating from Royal Military College, Franc flew tactical helicopters in the military and later in civilian air ambulance operations before beginning a 20+-year career in financial services. His interest in neuroscience began while trying to better understand his daughter's learning challenges and became another influence on how he thought about learning, behaviour, and leadership. Today, as founder of Red Page Leadership, Franc draws on those experiences in his work with leaders and organizations as a speaker, facilitator, executive coach, and advisor. The settings have changed considerably, but many of the questions that began on those early mountain trips continue to shape his work today.
Before you DO anything, ask yourself...
"who do I need to BE right now?"
Our Values
You are the Hero
always know their story and understand their “why”. That is when we can serve them and help them become the hero of their story.
Be Referable
would we refer our grandma to work with us? Always deliver more than expected. Arrive on time, do what we say, finish what we start, and say please and thank you.
Care About the Small Stuff
attention to detail in all things matters. It’s the little things we know about our stakeholders and ourselves that has the most impact. It’s doing the little things well. Set clear expectations and exceed them in every way.
Operate in Joy
joy is a state of being that is founded on happiness and operating in purpose. Happiness is appreciating what you have, and purpose is doing what you were created to do.
Be Curious
have an adventurous, curious and growth mindset. When we try, we learn. Hard work and perseverance are enhanced when we are curious.
Humility is Strength
always be open to the possibility of being wrong. This openness gives us the ability to see things for what they really are. It gives us the ability to learn. Finally be courageous to do or say what needs to be done or said. This builds unshakable trust.
Love Don’t Feel
love is an action, not a feeling. Always do what is best for the other and do more than they expect. Care about them because we really do care about them. Hear what is really being said. Do all of this, even when we don’t feel like it.
It’s Always Better Together
always bring our unique gifts to each other as a team. We believe that we win as a team and we lose as a team and ultimately, we are stronger as a team.
Always Chose “Right”
always do or say the right thing. Not what’s easy, not what’s fast, not what comfortable ... what’s right. Do right by others by listening to and, acting on, the little voice that knows...
Our Mission Partners
We believe that we are always better together. In that spirit, we have forged mission focused relationships with other organizations who have a similar vision, aligned values, and complementary offerings.
