OUR STORY

Anita Evans
Anita Evans is a seasoned coach, community leader, and co-founder of WOW Academy -World of Winners, a training school dedicated to unlocking human potential through value creation, resilience, and purpose. For over 25 years, Anita has coached entrepreneurs, leaders, and organizations across Canada to create meaningful impact—transforming cycles of poverty into cycles of empowerment.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Geography: Human Environment and a foundation in transformational learning from Landmark Education, Anita’s journey began at age 22 when she mobilized 28 volunteers to serve meals at the Old Brewery Mission. That act of service sparked a lifelong commitment to supporting the most vulnerable—particularly youth and families navigating homelessness and financial insecurity.
Her impact has reached frontline organizations such as AJOI, Ricochet, La Maison Benoît Labre, and OnRock, where she coaches management teams and helps embed transformational leadership into their mission. A master of High-Speed Performance, Anita once led a thriving practice with 65 active clients and now mentors others to scale with heart and clarity.
Today, Anita serves as a core coach with Dinner Table, a value-based leadership model created by Lee Benson. Together, they are building a generational movement that empowers families through financial competency, value creation, and conscious leadership—starting at the dinner table.
In collaboration with local leaders and cities like Pointe-Claire, Anita is currently spearheading a 12-month program for low-income families entitled: “Empower Kids to Become Architects of Their Own Future.” The initiative equips parents and children with the tools to build wealth, design their lives, and lead with intention—creating ripple effects across communities in Canada.
To Anita, a Winner is someone with a positive mental attitude, a team player, and a creator of value. Through WOW Academy and the Dinner Table movement, she’s on a mission to raise a generation of them.
