In this heartfelt conversation, Dayna Haig-Conway sits down with Doug Wigood, CAMP Coach (Ontario) and lifelong caregiver, to explore how compassion, calm, and quiet leadership shape meaningful connection.

From early lessons in community care to years spent supporting children, youth, and elders, Doug shares how reflection, presence, and curiosity have guided his work across social services and mental health. Together, he and Dayna discuss how to stay grounded when your own flame flickers—and why leadership doesn’t always need to be loud to be powerful.

Highlights:
Finding purpose through early caregiving and community support Lessons from outdoor education: reflection as a daily practice Why empathy begins with listening, not fixing How equine therapy reveals the power of calm energy The value of lifelong learning and collaborative care
