Robyn Meagher and Jason Dorland Biography

“I just loved running on the trails in nature—it was a meditative experience for me,” is how Robyn Meagher describes her training process during her remarkable 17 years on the Canadian National Team. Her impressive accomplishments were the byproduct of her simple joy of running—two-time Olympian, World Cup and Commonwealth Games Silver Medalist, and dozens of other national, provincial and local championship titles.

One doesn’t sustain a Top 10 World Class ranking in any endeavor without understanding and appreciating the host of commitments required—physical, mental, and emotional—to achieve healthy high performance year-in and year-out.

Jason Dorland was born into a rowing family. He spent his high school years rowing at Ridley College before continuing his passion at university. Once on the Canadian National Team, he set his sights on the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.

As defending Olympic Champions, the Canadian men’s eight was expected to defend that title or, at the very least, medal. They didn’t. Instead, they finished dead last in the final.

Decades later, Dorland defines that experience and the troubled years that followed as the greatest gift he ever received. “It changed everything for me. Up until that moment, I was all about the prize. Now, I get it—how we travel our life’s journey is more important than where that journey leads us.”

After retiring from running, Meagher earned her master’s degree in education and opened a practice as a Registered Clinical Counselor and Health and Performance Coach. Today, she serves clients from all walks of life—from professionals to elite athletes to teenagers.

After earning his degree in graphic design from The Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Dorland helped start an organic food business in 1996 that still operates today in Vancouver. He then returned to university, receiving his degree in education before entering the teaching profession, where he taught and coached high school for fifteen years. In ten years of coaching rowing, Dorland’s crews earned 12 international championship titles.

Furthermore, he’s written three books: "Chariots & Horses—Life Lessons From an Olympic Rower," "Pulling Together—A Coach’s Journey to Uncover the Mindset of True Potential," and his third and most recent book, a novel, "IKE: the dog who saved a human."

Meagher and Dorland married in 2001 and live in Victoria, British Columbia, with their family—rescue dogs included! They are now pursuing their passion for utilizing the many lessons they’ve taken from their Olympic and professional journeys to support others in pursuing their health and highest potential while living a life where they thrive!

  • The Healthy High Performance Journey: Half-Day to Multiple-Day Workshops

    Olympians-turned-coaches inspire an immersive and experiential approach that transforms workplace communities and exponentially strengthens healthy performance.

    “Emotional intelligence is the key to unlocking high performance; it’s not just about how smart you are, but how well you connect, adapt, and inspire.” —Daniel Goleman, Psychologist.

    Researchers agree that as Artificial Intelligence continues to infuse into the modern workforce, critical and creative problem-solving skills, along with technical expertise, will be essential components for success. However, emotional intelligence is also considered paramount. A Future of Jobs Report 2025 ranks emotional intelligence as one of the top skills for employees. The report emphasizes that leaders must become “proficient” at navigating these interdependent skills to inspire, motivate, and guide their teams.

    This is why companies hire Robyn Meagher and Jason Dorland—to move the dial on emotional health and wellbeing, while driving performance. Their multi-day transformative experience invites participants to develop their competency in all aspects of emotional intelligence. Through this process, participants increase their self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-compassion, and optimism, which in turn reshape workplaces and exponentially strengthen healthy performance. They’re told that’s what differentiates their work—like Goleman advocates, they focus on the human being behind the performer.

    Straight up, this is not fluff—in fact, quite the opposite. Everything on offer is based on extensive research and lived experiences. This area of focus is the most powerfully relevant opportunity available to you and your team for thriving in this current workplace climate.

    When participants gather in groups and commit to a safe and inclusive exploration of what their best selves look like, powerful shifts happen. Considering the possibilities of what each individual may be capable of and what’s required to achieve that growth and potential is the exciting opportunity available here.

    Here’s what Mike Croxon, the owner and CEO of NewRoads Automotive Group, had to say about him and his leadership team's experience with Robyn and Jason…

    “Having recently concluded The Healthy High Performance Journey program with Jason and Robyn, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to grow and develop a team of people. We elected to take 30 of our senior leadership team offsite, and to a person, they found the time spent both informative and beneficial. To anyone who understands that leadership starts with the betterment of the self, this is a program that will deliver for your team of people.”

    The Healthy High Performance Journey workshop could empower your team to thrive intrinsically, sustainably, and holistically this year.
