Dwight Mihalicz
I began my career in management consulting and went on to become President of Effective Managers, a Canadian firm with global reach. For decades, I’ve worked closely with CEOs of scaling businesses navigate the real challenges at the top: organizational design, accountability, authority, and the weight of leadership.
Beyond consulting, I spent significant years with the Red Cross, helping expand global services and improve operational effectiveness. I later served as Chair of The International Council of Management Consulting Institutes, overseeing global standards for the profession. I’m also the author of The Effective CEO and Consulting Through Uncertainty.
Today, as a TEC Canada speaker and Chair, I help leaders get to root causes, sharpen their thinking, and address the issues that truly constrain performance. My approach is direct, grounded, and built on decades of boardroom experience.
Outside of work, my wife and I recharge in nature near Frontenac Park. I’m a woodworker, hold an MBA from the Telfer School of Management, and am a proud father of four and grandfather of six.
My TEC Group Vision
“As a TEC Chair and Certified Management Consultant, I bring global executive advisory experience and disciplined facilitation to help leaders uncover root causes, strengthen decisions, and apply practical tools that improve performance.”

Travis Moriarty, President of Prestige Home Improvements.
“Entrepreneurs need a place where they can talk openly. Most people around you just don’t get it… TEC gives you that space to think out loud, get advice, and learn from people who’ve been there before. It’s like having 12 smart mentors in your corner.”
David Bouchard, CEO of PureLogic IT.
“I realized I had a lot to learn. TEC also taught me how to delegate effectively, have difficult conversations, and grow through vulnerability. Everyone in TEC is there to improve, and that collective energy makes a big difference.”
Susan Richards, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Numbercrunch.
“Before TEC, I didn’t even think of myself as a leader. Through the group, I began researching what leadership meant, and my peers reflected examples of my leadership back to me. That feedback was powerful and it gave me confidence and clarity.”
