Supporting Leaders, Teams, and Individuals to Prevent Burnout and Succeed in their Optimal State
Hi, I’m Dr. Ganz Ferrance—speaker, author, coach, and Registered Psychologist. With over 30 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding thousands of high-performing individuals, from overwhelmed CEOs and entrepreneurs to tough oil and gas workers, stressed-out law enforcement officers, and heroic moms and dads. My battle-tested system has helped people feel better, do better, and be better. If you’re looking for a speaker, trainer, coach, or corporate facilitator, I’m thrilled you’ve found me.

“The Harder the Work, the Greater the Reward”, Not Exactly.
A few decades ago, I found myself alone in a hotel room, clutching my head, convinced I was having a stroke. It turned out to be a panic attack triggered by working too many hours, being on the road for too long, and pushing myself to the point of exhaustion. With a wife and extended family depending on me, the pressure was immense. In my drive to climb the ladder of success and be a good provider, I’d forgotten to take care of the one person who needed me most—ME. That experience led to the creation of The Me Factor Book™; a book that dives into the hidden struggles of being a man and provides a roadmap to build a life from the inside out.

In a world of AI, I’m Interested in Building Better Humans
Let’s be honest; Therapy sometimes carries a misconception, as if we're broken and in need of fixing. With so many voices online discussing mental health, it’s easy to feel unsure about who to trust. My coaching is grounded in my background as a Registered Psychologist, but with a much more down-to-earth, practical, and personalized approach. I like to ask, “How good can you stand it?” Imagine improving your productivity, setting healthier boundaries, and simply feeling happier and more balanced. The return on investment when you choose to invest in yourself can be truly transformative.

I really felt stuck, depleted, unhappy and like I was wasting my time, talent, and skills. I’d been thinking about getting a coach and then heard Dr. Ganz on a podcast, and just knew that he was the one that I needed to talk to. The outcome has been transformative! He’s relatable and easy to talk to. His program is just what I needed to feel better about my future. I feel unstuck, stronger, more myself, and excited about my future. I have a plan in place for my business and I’m actively moving toward it.

“No Boring PowerPoints or Surveys"
Eliminating burnout, communicating effectively under pressure, and fostering happy, engaged employees—this is what I do best. When you invest in your team, the rewards are limitless. And I’ve got the numbers to back it up. A recent study found that for every $1 spent on scaling up treatment for common mental health disorders, there’s a $4 return in improved health and productivity.
