OUR TEAM
The Invision Edge Team
Meet the people helping organizations think big and act boldly.

Ryan Ramsdale
Director of Operations & Coach
Hometown: East Selkirk, Manitoba
I guess you could say I like variety. My journey began following my passion for the arts, studying Film at the University of Manitoba and Audio Production at Mid Ocean School of Media Arts. Since then, I have completed further executive education at Athabasca University, the University of Winnipeg, and Harvard Business School Online. Throughout my career, I’ve served in key roles for Shaw Communications and founded an executive coaching practice called Embolden.
I joined inVision Edge in 2019 as an Innovation and Strategy Coach. I work with clients daily to build innovation capabilities, navigate innovation projects, and build breakthrough strategic plans. Outside of work, I enjoy writing and playing music, in addition to seeking adventure with my wife Keri and our three kids.
Start with stimulus. It’s hard to solve a problem in a new way if you haven’t first filled your mind with new information, so try to get out of your usual context. Investigate how others have solved similar problems and challenge yourself to find a place to experiment with controlled impact.
love the variety in the opportunities and problems clients bring forward; no two problems are exactly the same. Seeing our clients leverage innovation skills and strategic thinking to set a course for the future and solve problems with a new approach is extremely rewarding work.
I’m Canada’s ambassador to Michael Keaton (unofficially). Ok, maybe just a huge fan.

Kathy Andrew
Director of Client Experience & Coach
Hometown: Morden, Manitoba
I love understanding people and the art of strong communication. I truly believe that if you can understand someone’s perspective and clearly communicate with them, it opens up a world of possibilities. I learned this through my studies at the University of Western Ontario, where I obtained a Master of Science in Human Cognition (psycholinguistics, memory, decision-making, and behavioural/organizational psychology). I’ve applied my education and experience throughout my career with the Government of Manitoba, and now with inVision Edge.
In my current role as an Innovation and Strategy Coach, I work with clients across diverse industries on innovation capability development, innovation projects, and breakthrough strategic plans. Outside of work, I am energized by adventures with my husband Evan and our three children and participating in outdoor activities like golfing, gardening, hiking, and biking.
Don’t sit idle. Instead, start seeking advice from someone who knows more than you do about a topic or industry. Learning from those around you can be cheap, fast, and energizing. The beauty is that if they don’t have the answers for you, they’ll typically send you knocking on the next best door. Follow the trail. You’ll know when you’ve found the right person to help you take that first step towards your desired future state.
I’m passionate about moving clients forward so they can continue to learn and grow in their roles, and build out their organizations in ways that would not have otherwise been imagined. I’m passionate about providing services/products that result in meaningful change, elevated strategy, and strong alignment throughout a team.
I can converse in American Sign Language as a result of having studied the language and culture through Red River College’s Deaf Studies Program.
Rhonda Honke
Director of Strategic Initiatives & Coach

Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
I’ve always had a passion for blending business and education. To that end, I hold two separate undergraduate degrees from the University of Manitoba, including a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Education. More recently, I’ve completed continuing executive education at Queen’s University in the areas of Strategy and Information Technology. Throughout my career, I’ve served in executive roles for Loewen and Steinbach Credit Union.
In my current role with inVision Edge, I work with clients on innovation capability development, along with high-impact innovation and strategy projects. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband Kevin and our two children, in addition to reading, gardening, and playing the piano.
Pay special attention to the first critical innovation step: precisely define what problem(s) you need to solve with innovation, including what is both in and out of scope. Taking some extra time to do this well will reduce risk and improve results.
I love that we get to help develop the strategy/innovation skills of people in diverse organizations and industries. Enabling others to take charge of strategy and innovation for themselves, rather than being dependant on outsiders, is fun!
I have had the opportunity to be a mascot at several different events. When you are dressed up in one of those goofy costumes, you can really be a ham because no one knows it’s you…

Wendy Ferris
Partner
Hometown: Winkler, Manitoba
I co-founded inVision Edge in 2012, and from day one we’ve built our firm on the belief that with the right tools, systems, and processes any organization can do great things. That belief still drives us forward today.
In my current role as Partner, I work with clients in the areas of Strategy and Innovation to help them break through the challenges they’re facing and achieve real results. In this role, I draw upon my experience in several executive positions within the Manufacturing and Financial Services industries, guiding our clients to the best possible outcomes.
Don’t get paralyzed with indecision. Paralysis by analysis and the fear of failure are real threats to success and progress. Instead, just get started and do something…anything…to create momentum and change. Don’t fear failure, embrace it as an opportunity to learn and evolve! And then celebrate the successes along the way.
I am committed to our mission to help leaders, companies, and teams do great things. I love when our work helps solve a real problem for an organization and energizes them towards success. The ultimate reward is when I hear about our work’s tangible impact, especially when it restores people’s confidence and enjoyment in their work.
I love to dance like nobody’s watching. What I lack in dance moves I make up for in enthusiasm and spirit!

John Ferris
Chief Executive Officer
Hometown: Saint John, New Brunswick
I grew up in New Brunswick but have called Winnipeg home since completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Winnipeg. Since then, I have completed further executive education at the University of Manitoba and Queen’s University and have served in executive roles across marketing, sales, and human resources departments within the manufacturing and transportation industries.
I co-founded inVision Edge in 2012 with a vision to help companies do great things. inVision Edge is built on the belief that if an organization is committed to growth and has a willingness to change, any company is capable of greatness. In my current role as CEO, I lead the team at inVision towards providing 5-star advisory and coaching services to our clients.
I love inspiring others to do great things. It’s hard to fully define “greatness,” but you know it when you see it. It’s a privilege to be there when someone has a deep realization that they’ve got the tools and capabilities they need to go beyond what they thought was possible and make a difference in this world. Those moments are what drive me.
I’m a musician at heart and played guitar in a band for years. My choice of hairstyle at the time may be classified as “questionable,” but my passion for music has never been in doubt.
