A Bit About Us 

At MacPhie, our mission is to help Canadian organizations thrive on the world stage. We do this by supporting diverse leaders and teams; inclusion is a core part of the work that we do and aspire to do each day.

That’s why we are committed to advancing equity and inclusion in our work, both internally and with clients. 

We have a fundamental belief in making organizations and their people magnetic – attracting those stakeholders that matter most to them. We help organizations shape their future direction and cultures by building effective leadership, energized teams, and enduring results.

Our firm is a boutique Toronto-based management consultancy, reinventing the way organizations engage with people who matter most to them. We work with leaders to develop their strategies, transform their cultures and build high-performing teams.

We pride ourselves on our energetic culture, with a focus on personal growth. Our team is always willing to help and provide direction. Our approach is open, collegial, and highly supportive.
