Doug Keeley
CEO & Chief Storyteller
Doug Keeley started a marketing/communications agency just days after graduating from university with a Fine Arts/ Music degree. He spent the next few decades producing large events, pioneering in the world of multimedia, and using every tool available to help his Fortune 500 clients communicate more effectively. His passion and mission are to stop the “blah blah” and make communicating in the workplace more effective and engaging by using the power of stories.
Tim Magwood
Storyteller & Culture Catalyst
Tim Magwood has the mind of an entrepreneur, the heart of a coach, and the soul of a singer/songwriter. After a stage career in shows like Les Miserables, Tim joined Doug in the communications industry. He left to start Fusion Learning, Canada’s fastest growing sales effectiveness company. He reunited with Doug in 2014 and has been on the story journey since. Tim loves using stories to inspire and equip leaders to build meaningful, healthy and creative cultures.
