The Club's Founder
Fraser Rose, the Founder of Emotional Excellence Inc. for adults and teenagers believes:
​"I pass through this world
But once.
Any good that I can do,
Any kindness that I can show
To any human being,
Let me do it now,
Let me not defer or neglect it,
For I shall not pass this way again."
(William Penn, 1644-1718)
​
Fraser has a master's degree in education and is certified by the Ministry of Education
of Ontario as a guidance specialist, a school principal, and a supervisory officer.
​
Fraser served as the supervising principal of schools on the Canadian Forces at Trenton,
Ontario while employed by the Dept. of National Defense for many years. During that
time, he was elected four times as a trustee on The Hastings County Board of Education,
and was elected Chairman of that Board for two terms of office. He also created a course
on Stress Management (Positive Personal Power) which he taught at Loyalist College.
For the past 22 years, Fraser has been principal of a private high school in Toronto. During that time he received coach training from the Co-active Coaching Institute as a life coach, but has recently specialized as a Mental-Emotional fitness coach to help adults and teenagers strengthen one (or more) of these four keys to empower their mental-emotional excellence:
1 - I Respect Who I Am (flaws and all). Self-esteem feeds my self-kindness.
2 - I Value Win-Win Relationships within my family. Also with my friends and associates.
3 - I Value My Power of Choice to choose my thoughts, my actions, and my reactions.
4 - I Respect My Mind, My Body. They're connected, so I empower each with the other.
​
As a professional speaker on Managing Your Emotions, Fraser has presented seminars
to business audiences in 16 cities all across the country. He also taught a course on Stress Management to members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation.
​​
Fraser and his wife, Brenda, have three grown sons, and six grandchildren.
​
Fraser Rose is a runner. After his last 10K road race, he was awarded first place in the
senior women's division. (Officials had mistakenly registered his name as Rose Fraser.)
After their error was discovered, they awarded him second place in the senior men's
division. Fraser can't really boast about that, however, as there were only two men in it.
​
Fraser's hobby is magic. He's no Houdini but he does claim to be so skilled that he can
mystify every kid under twelve on his block, and nearly half the teenagers.
​
Fraser's mission is to grow the Emotional Excellence Inc. online club as a way for teens and adults to increase their emotional fitness, and consequently their happiness.
