School of Business

Dr. Williams is an Assistant Professor with the Manning School of Business and an Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Management, Dalhousie University and has a leadership consulting practice, Integral Dialogue Project. He holds a Doctor of Social Science, where his research and praxis focus on leadership studies that are underpinned by fairness, prosperity, and sustainability. The core values that lead him in his life are: courage, empathy, integrity, levity, respect, and wisdom. His ‘why he does what he does’ is to co-inspire human potential for positive impact. He espouses pedagogy of ‘education as the practice of freedom’––where he facilitates learning spaces that embrace failure, reflexivity, creativity, diversity, and critical & resilient thinking. He believes this approach enables positive desired futures for living in our rapidly changing world of complexity and embracing climate change. He lives in Wolfville, NS with his family. Kent loves time connecting in Nature, good laughs with his family…and yes, time out on his bike!
