Great Traits Inc. is a company that inspires possibility and excellence. Founded by Mark
Tewksbury and Debbie Muir in 2008, Great Traits engages people to be champions in their own
lives. Connecting individuals, teams and organizations to the fundamentals of achievers, leaders and

Mark Tewksbury is the star athlete who burst out of the water at the Barcelona Olympics; an
Olympic Champion with gold, silver and bronze medals in hand, numerous awards, and inductions
into three major Halls of Fame.
Tewksbury has become a champion for a number of important causes. He was recognized by the
University of Western Ontario and the University of Calgary for his active humanitarianism and
ethical leadership with honorary doctorate of laws degrees, and in 2008 was invited by the
Government of France to speak about human rights at the United Nations in New York City.
While he is a highly sought-after speaker, beyond the podium Tewksbury has hosted television
shows, authored three books and performed seminars and workshops around the world. He is a
popular media commentator, was the Master of Ceremonies for the Dalai Lama’s Canadian
appearances, and is currently the Chef de Mission for the Canadian Olympic team competing in
London in 2012.
Debbie Muir is one of the Olympic movement’s most winning coaches. The ‘Coach of the Coaches’
for the Canadian team at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, as well as an instrumental member
of Own the Podium, Debbie shares her experience and talent in leading individuals, professionals
and organizations from all over the world to achieve their optimum performance.
Based on their book, The Great Traits of Champions, together they offer customized workshops and
training. Their programs connect individuals, teams and organizations to the fundamental pillars of
achievement, leadership and legacy, engaging each participant to champion their own personal and
professional development.
In working with Olympic athletes, business leaders and individuals from around the world, Mark

really change – they are timeless and universal. They will teach you these fundamentals to take your
organization to higher levels of performance.
