About Evan

Portrait of Evan Galbraith, founder of Mountain Air

Hi, I’m Evan – founder of Mountain Air Coaching.

I love exploring the intersection of meaning and effectiveness with leaders and teams, helping them navigate change with clarity and optimism. My career has been shaped by strategic leadership roles in political offices and social enterprises, where I’ve been trusted as a strong listener and excellent communicator.

My approach to leadership isn’t to be the loudest voice in the room – I aim to be calm, thoughtful, and dependable. On teams, I’ve been named an assistant captain and recipient of the ‘Heart Award’ numerous times, recognizing my commitment to teamwork and the often unheralded but essential effort necessary to drive success. When you work with me, you’ll experience a presence of calm energy and patient bravery. My personal values – to trust and be trustworthy, offer respect to all, and care about fairness – are at the core of my work and life.

I hold Certificates in Executive Coaching (A+) and Team Coaching (A) from Royal Roads University, a MSc (Distinction) in Health, Population, and Society from the London School of Economics, and a BA (First Class Honours) in Political Science from St. Francis Xavier. I am also a Fellow of the On Purpose program in London, UK.

When I’m not coaching and facilitating, I energize by hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors.

Mountain Air Values

Be in service to community

We want to work with people who care about relationships and community. We help you connect - or reconnect - with notions of wealth and success beyond maximized profits. We prioritize relationship building because we know that people are collectively wiser, happier, and more effective when we create meaningful connections.

Start with and strive for trust

We weave trust into our work and relationships by respecting your confidentiality, being clear in our communications, and having an openness to changing circumstances. We trust you will keep an open mind and give your best effort. We aim to be trustworthy by being non-judgmental and fair. On the rare instance of a miscommunication, we prioritize understanding what happened and rebuilding trust immediately.

A light approach to hard work

We aim to bring a calm ease when we help you through changes and challenges. Working through change can be hard, so we help bring meaning, hope, and energy to any work carried out in the shadow of uncertainty. We acknowledge and work through the heaviness of challenges, while helping make room for the light.

Mountain Air Coaching helps you overcome your biggest challenges and frustrations so that you can find the optimism and energy needed to improve the common good.

Our Story

Mountain Air Coaching was born from the clarity and calm found in nature. For founder Evan, growing up near the Rocky Mountains meant discovering a place to breathe deeply, reflect clearly, and find a path forward. The mountains have always offered him a fresh perspective — one that’s grounded, energizing, and transformative.

We bring that same sense of clarity to our leadership coaching and facilitation work. Whether you're navigating complexity, burnout, or change, we help individuals, teams, and organizations step back from the noise and reconnect with what matters. Based in Calgary and rooted in the values of community building, Mountain Air Coaching is your partner in leading with focus, trust, and purpose.

In a world of constant movement and growing demands, we create the space to slow down, think clearly, and lead intentionally. We help you build the internal clarity and collective alignment needed to guide your team, shape systems, and create lasting impact.
