Our Team
It’s good to know about the folks you might be working with! Here’s a tiny snapshot of the Elarton Point Strategies Team.
Jo-Anne Kingstone
We come together in groups, in teams, in communities, as individuals and members of a collective, and what we bring into this space, first and foremost, is ourselves. And then we seek to learn about each other. That’s where the joy and the work begin. Understanding this truth allows us to harness our passions and purpose, our expertise and experience, our resources and intentions to achieve great things. Together.
A broad range of experience informs Jo-Anne’s (Jo’s) current work as a coach and facilitator for leaders, teams, and organizations seeking to build their capacity and advance their strategic objectives. She brings her expertise in operations and program design, change management, strategic understanding, design and facilitation, team and leadership development, workplace culture, and community engagement to a range of programs offerings that engage for- and not-for-profit small businesses and associations.
Jo’s 35 year journey working and leading in schools has confirmed that relationships live at the core of work--regardless of the organization. And powerful relationships between people, possibilities and purpose provide the foundation for community and organizational strength and permanence.
Aside from her daily routine of running forest trails and drinking good coffee, Jo continues to be driven by the singular mantra “Only connect” (E.M.Forster, Howard’s End).
And this is where it all starts.
Sarah Kingstone

Within the confluence of compassion and critical thinking lives a space where we can build authentic collaboration, human understanding, and positive peace. When we teach and practice these skills together, a good, brave, and hopeful community will flourish.
Sarah’s career is dedicated to exploring a variety of powerful educational tools and resources to define and enhance positive youth development and compassionate participation in community to increase equity and access to social justice. Especially passionate about building individual and organizational capacity to enact systemic change in our communities, she believes fundamentally in our collective shared purpose to help make life better for each other. Sarah grounds her work in valid and reliable research and believes that analysis begins with a historical lens to accurately evaluate and understand the challenges we face today and respond to them with courage and conviction. A ten year career spent teaching and learning in a variety of independent educational organizations and her recent Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology has confirmed her belief that where we are coming from is just as important as where we are and where we want to go.
In her free time, Sarah talks incessantly about SNL, plays outside, and makes meals with her favourite people.
