David McCann has been working with people to help them bring out their best for most all of his adult life. Following 10 years of teaching in the Public School system in Quebec, David was trained and became a Salvation Army Officer where he served in a varied assortment of roles for 28 years before taking an early retirement. During his years of service David has been a pastor, church planter, denomination executive, editor, director of Pastoral training, and Regional Director of Church programs for the Salvation Army.

In 1998 he began actively coaching Salvation Army leaders. In 2005, as an assignment for the Executive Leadership course given by Simon Fraser University, David and a co-worker from the neighbouring Salvation Army district developed a course for training coaches and establishing coaching networks.

Besides working within his own denomination, David has been an active participant on the Executive of Church Planting Canada, and its regional expression CIEQ (Comité d’implantation d’églises au Québec).

In retirement, David continues his teaching and preaching ministry, but has also established himself as a resource for Churches and Church leaders in Quebec, and beyond. He currently is owner of David McCann, Coaching, and also works in areas of consultation, translation, and as a trainer and coach in Emotional Intelligence.

David is married, and with his wife Susan, has two sons.
