Pamela Morgan
Founder | CEO
Pamela Morgan has loved calling Okotoks home for over 25 years. Hiking, photography and cycling the Okotoks pathways are where you’ll find her in her off hours. Born and raised in Alberta, Pamela is proud of her rural roots and her ability to “wear spurs in the boardroom”. Taking her 30+ years of executive business experience and her down to earth “we are better together” attitude, Pamela founded Key Instincts, a multi-dimensional, value-heavy Human Resources firm based in her hometown.
Pamela continues to support entrepreneurs throughout Alberta in a multitude of faucets, from people and culture to business coaching and strategies. A strong and engaging facilitator, it is guaranteed she will have your full participation in her workshops and seminars.
People are Pamela’s passion, so it’s no surprise it doesn’t stop at supporting entrepreneurs. Pamela is the founder of Baby it’s Cold outside a non- profit charity that focuses on offering a hand up to vulnerable citizens throughout Alberta. Additionally, in 2021, Pamela founded the HeadStrong program, an initiative to provide mental health supports and resources to entrepreneurs in southern Alberta.
In addition to serving the Foothills community through business and charity, it became a natural progression in Pamela’s mandate of community, communication and collaboration, taking on the role of President of the Okotoks Business Association which supported her role as a key stakeholder in the Okotoks Entrepreneurial Ecosystem. These measurable steps allowed for her to confidently sit as a director on the board of the Okotoks Chamber of Commerce, with the sole intention of adding value, competency and a Chamber member’s perspective.
“We are all connected and once we come to know this, we will be unstoppable, together we can achieve greatness!”.
Pamela is a recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.
