Rae Stonehouse has been a Registered Nurse for 30+ years and is currently practicing and registered in British Columbia, Canada. He has worked primarily in the field of psychiatry/mental health nursing as a staff nurse and nurse therapist. As an instructor in a private post-secondary school healthcare institution he taught healthcare related courses to students seeking jobs as unlicenced support workers and through that career adventure developed his insatiable quest for knowledge.

After a brief stint in the information management/information technology department he learned that while it can be a lot of fun working on the computer on your own time, eight hours a day, day in day out, as a job, it isn’t as much fun.

Rae has served as a worker elected representative (steward) in three unions representing nurses. As well, he has 25+ years working as an advocate in workplace occupational health & safety. He has served as the co-chair representing workers on two JOSH committees (Joint Occupational Health & Safety) and has been instrumental in improving the efficiency and functioning of those committees.

One of Rae’s passions in life is in the personal development of communication & leadership skills and sharing and mentoring others in developing their’s. He has been very active within the Toastmasters International organization and has made hundreds of presentations. While honing those skills, he recently served a term as the District Governor for District 21 Toastmasters which encompasses the entire province of British Columbia, serving as a leader for a leadership team of 90 officers and overseeing the quality of the program for some 4600 members. 

Rae has managed to maximize his passions of developing communication & leadership skills with his love of technology. He has designed several informational websites in the past and is known to be a collector of “useful” information.
