About Marlene
Helping organizations build stronger foundations for people, leadership, governance, and privacy.
Over the past 30+ years, I’ve worked alongside organizations through growth, organizational change, legislative change, and complex workplace challenges.
My career has taken me through education, safety, human resources, privacy, and organizational leadership. Along the way, I’ve led initiatives, contributed to organization-wide projects, collaborated with leaders across functions, and worked with people at every level of an organization, from frontline employees to executive leadership.
I’ve also had the opportunity to represent my organization through regional industry collaborations and community partnerships. Those experiences reinforced something I continue to see today: strong organizations are built intentionally.
That’s why I founded LANEiQ Consulting.
I believe the strongest organizations recognize that people, leadership, governance, and privacy are connected.
When one area changes, the others are affected.
That’s why I don’t believe in isolated solutions or one-size-fits-all templates.
I work alongside leaders to understand what matters most, bring clarity to complexity, and develop practical solutions that fit how their organization actually operates.
Today I partner with small and mid-sized businesses and non-profit organizations that are growing, navigating change, strengthening leadership, improving governance, or looking for practical HR and privacy support.
Whether through consulting, speaking, or facilitated discussions, my goal is always the same:
To help leaders make sense of complexity and turn insight into practical action.
My Approach
Every organization is different. That’s why I begin by listening.
I ask thoughtful questions, seek to understand your goals and challenges, and work alongside you to develop practical solutions that fit your organization.
I don’t believe in creating binders that sit on shelves or policies that don’t reflect how people actually work. I believe in practical systems that strengthen organizations, support leaders, and help people succeed.
Why LANEiQ?
The name LANEiQ reflects how I work. It combines insight, inquiry, and informed judgment to help organizations make better decisions and achieve meaningful results.
My role isn’t simply to solve today’s challenge. It’s to help build the foundations that support tomorrow’s success.
Organizations I’ve Worked With
LANEiQ Consulting has supported organizations across the non-profit, small- to medium-sized business sectors with practical, people-centred HR and privacy consulting.
LANEiQ Consulting Land Acknowledgement
LANEiQ Consulting recognizes that much of its work takes place on Treaty 6 Territory, the traditional lands of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, and Nakota Sioux peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 4.
I honour the enduring presence, knowledge, and stewardship of Indigenous peoples who have cared for this land since time immemorial, and who continue to shape its future.
When my work extends beyond Treaty 6, I acknowledge and give thanks for the traditional territories of the Indigenous peoples of those regions. I approach each engagement with gratitude, respect, and a commitment to reconciliation in action.
This acknowledgement is not a formality. It reflects the heart of my practice: listening deeply, building relationships rooted in respect, and helping organizations create cultures where people and purpose thrive together.
