Leadership Development that changes how your team actually works

We run small-cohort programs and one-on-one coaching for managers in Gatineau and across Quebec who want practical tools, not motivational slogans. You leave each session with something you can use the same afternoon.

Book your leadership audit

Four steps from intake to impact

1

Diagnostic conversation

We spend 90 minutes mapping your current leadership habits, team dynamics, and the specific friction points that cost you time every week. No questionnaires mailed in advance; we prefer to hear you think out loud.

2

Custom program design

Based on the diagnostic, we build a 10-week or 16-week plan. Each week targets one concrete skill: running a decision meeting, giving corrective feedback, delegating without micro-managing. The plan names the skill, the practice exercise, and the observable outcome your team should notice.

3

Live practice sessions

Cohorts of six to eight managers meet every Tuesday for two hours. Half the time is structured roleplay; the other half is peer coaching with a facilitator present. We record short clips so you can review your own body language and phrasing later.

4

Follow-up and measurement

Sixty days after your program ends, we run a second diagnostic. You and your direct reports each answer the same set of questions. We compare scores side by side and identify the two or three habits that still need reinforcement. A half-day booster session is included at no extra cost.

Programs we run

Each program is built for a specific stage of leadership growth. Pick the one that matches where you are right now.

New manager foundations

A 10-week program for people who moved into management in the past 18 months. Covers the shift from individual contributor to people leader: setting expectations, handling one-on-ones, and making decisions when you don't have all the information. Groups of six, Tuesday evenings, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Senior leader intensive

Designed for directors and VPs managing other managers. This 16-week track focuses on strategic alignment, cross-functional influence, and building a leadership culture below you. Includes two half-day retreats at our Gatineau office and monthly one-on-one coaching calls between sessions.

Team alignment workshops

A one-day or two-day on-site workshop for intact teams of up to 14 people. We facilitate structured exercises that surface unspoken assumptions about roles, priorities, and communication norms. You walk out with a written operating agreement your team actually authored, not one imposed from above.

One-on-one executive coaching

Twelve sessions over six months, scheduled around your calendar. Each session is 75 minutes. Between sessions, you work on a single practice commitment. We use direct observation when possible: sitting in on your team meetings, reviewing your written communications, watching how you run a project kickoff.

Leadership audit for organizations

We interview 12 to 20 people across your org, from front-line staff to the executive team, and produce a 15-page report that maps your leadership pipeline: where the gaps are, what's working, and which three investments will have the largest effect over the next 18 months. Typical turnaround is four weeks.

Common questions

Yes. About half our cohorts run in French, and all coaching sessions can happen in either language. The diagnostic report is written in whichever language you prefer. We are based in Gatineau, so bilingual delivery is standard for us.

The 10-week new manager program is $3,200 per participant. The 16-week senior leader intensive is $5,400. Both include all materials, the 60-day follow-up diagnostic, and the booster session. Volume pricing is available when an organization enrolls four or more people in the same cohort.

Cohort sessions work best in person because of the roleplay component. That said, we have run hybrid cohorts successfully when one or two participants are outside the Gatineau-Ottawa region. One-on-one coaching and organizational audits work well over video.

A weekend seminar gives you ideas. Our programs give you repeated practice with feedback over 10 or 16 weeks. Behaviour change requires repetition in context, not inspiration in a hotel ballroom. By week four, most participants tell us they have already changed how they open their Monday team meetings.

Our lead facilitator has 14 years of experience coaching managers in government, tech, and non-profit organizations. Two associate facilitators co-lead cohort sessions and handle the follow-up diagnostics. All three hold ICF credentials and have managed teams themselves before moving into coaching full-time.
