Personal Details

Bio

22 years ago Tanya and her husband Hank quit their engineer and millwright jobs and moved to the Ontario wilderness to turn their love of their huskies into a lifestyle and a business.

They now welcome over 2000 guests a winter to meet and travel through the wilderness with their beloved dogs. They have also competed with their huskies in six 1000 mile races in Alaska & the Yukon.

From those races a presentation was born on leadership, teamwork & overcoming adversity that focuses on stories and lessons from epic adventure races.

Tanya, Hank & their huskies have been featured by: CNN, New York Times, London Sun, Toronto Star, Globe & Mail, Breakfast Television, Canadian Geographic, Canada Am

  • I had the honour of having Tanya and Hank speak at our management meeting on September 21, 2011. The feedback that I received was unprecedented: our team was overwhelmingly positive about the presentation; everyone found it interesting and were able to see the clear linkages between what we do as leaders in times of challenge and that of Hank assessing and developing his leaders, creating a team that can work in alignment, and then through a relationship of trust, leading that team 1,000 miles across Alaska and the Yukon. Hank and Tanya's easy and down-to-earth style really resonated with our audience. I will be having them back to deliver the same presentation to another group of our leadership team in November. The following quotes round out the sentiments of some of the audience members: "Fantastic, very genuine and from the heart. Directly applies to what we have learned [about leadership]. We should use them in other meetings". "Genuine, passionate presenters who were able to relate their business to our corporate environment". "Excellent presentation - Hank's charm was that he was 'real' and had the direct experience". "The content is excellent - Hank is accessing a very visceral part of the human experience and there is no such thing as a boring story or one that takes 'too long'; we love hearing about it. Tanya, you are a great natural presenter and the parallels you draw to corporate life are very pertinent. You and your team have a winning formula and boardrooms everywhere will benefit from your presentation".

  • The similarities between their journey and the journey of strengthening our team was very relatable and inspirational, particularly the parallels around passion, drive, determination and persistence. Well done Tanya, your message resonated with our management team and you have given us a new perspective on what it takes to be successful when managing through change!

  • I recently had the opportunity to have Tanya McCready of Winterdance Dogsled Tours in Haliburton present to our leadership team and share their amazing story of the journey they have undertaken. Their message of overcoming the many challenges they faced through teamwork, leadership and vision was incredibly inspiring and connected with our team in so many ways. I would definitely recommend them to others.
