Rnold Smith is a Corporate Leadership Trainer and Management Development Facilitator based in New Westminster, British Columbia, specializing in the design and delivery of structured workplace leadership programs for supervisors, managers, and emerging leaders across B.C. and beyond.

With 15 years of experience in leadership development and workplace performance, Rnold has trained hundreds of managers across a wide range of industries — including technology, professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and operations — equipping them with the practical, repeatable skills that measurably improve team performance, reduce workplace conflict, and build psychologically safe workplace cultures aligned with the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace (CSA Z1003) and WorkSafeBC's Mental Health Strategy.

Rnold is the creator of the Inspiring Manager Program — a structured 25-week cohort-based management development program built on three core commitments: Becoming a Psychologically Safe Leader, Enhancing Resilience and Mental Health, and Facilitating Growth. The program integrates nine evidence-based leadership skills drawn from recognised research frameworks including Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent Communication Model, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Flow Theory, Steven Kotler's peak performance research, Lisa Feldman Barrett's theory of constructed emotion, and Zaffron and Logan's Three Laws of Performance.

Rnold holds a Certified Relational Skills Trainer designation aligns closely with the objectives of the CSA Z1003 Standard for Psychological Health and Safety and is the founder of Connection Apps Inc. dedicated to advancing leadership practice in Canadian workplaces. The Conection App is a proprietary technology platform that delivers structured daily skill reinforcement to program participants between training sessions, ensuring that learning translates into lasting workplace behaviour change.
