About Us
Colin Liu started Bridging Keystone Identities because he knows how hard it can be to feel at home in Canada. Having moved to Canada in 2000, he struggled to learn English and adapt to Canadian culture. Eventually, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Philosophy.
While studying Education, he noticed many newcomers still struggled like he did because they did not know about helpful programs for families with young children. These services were often learned about through word of mouth, which can be tough for people without a large network.
During his Philosophy studies, Colin focused on personal identity. He believes we form who we are based on our experiences and social connections.
Combining these two observations, he founded Bridging Keystone Identities Coaching to help newcomers connect their core beliefs with their new social environment, helping them form a new identity that bridges their past and present selves.
