How do I work?

I design and facilitate ad hoc off-site retreats aimed at aligning boards and other senior teams around a new vision – and supporting them to embed the new vision in their organizations.

I help team members connect the dots and reach a higher level of collective mindfulness and self-awareness, so they can increase their impact and grow collectively as leaders.

I also design and facilitate workshops to develop leadership behaviors or emotional intelligence amongst managers or other leaders in your organization, to improve communication or relationships within a particular team or across your organization, or to help your most talented people become effective “people developers” themselves. These are just a few examples of experiential “group learning events” that we can create together.

For workshops and retreats, I use a four-step approach to structure our work together: diagnostics; design; delivery; and review.

Design principles for group programs

I always take a “coach-like” facilitation approach, which supports groups of people to feel empowered and responsible for their own process:

I help organizations establish a “common language” and a culture in which people can better communicate and learn from each other.
I take an action-oriented approach to create learning in “real life”. For example, training participants will need to implement their learnings in their work environment as part of the program.
I provide inspiring and relevant learnings through a combination of diagnostic tools, theory, the best methodologies – and real workplace experience.
I offer active follow-up, including individual coaching or further group sessions, to embed learnings in real life and improve the sustainability of key learnings.

I have known Véronique for nearly two decades now and she continues to amaze me with her versatility, energy and optimism. Her common-sense approach to business combines brilliantly with her natural creativity to keep those around her motivated and focused on the job to be done. When a complex project requires planning, management and timely completion, Véronique has been a "go to" resource. With a strategic mind and unique ability to see the required steps, she establishes a road map for success and builds supportive teams to get the work done. Her great experience enables her to develop simple solutions that work, and which can be communicated at all levels within the organization. She has personal qualities that make her well-suited to leadership. She’s naturally fallen into the role of “point person” in leading teams and developing and running workshops designed to help colleagues push their own boundaries. She’s not afraid to take risks and often suggests new directions to explore. She is a professional businesswoman who has great knowledge in many areas, yet she remains warm, personable and fun to work with. She injects passion in all that she does; passion for life, learning and for helping others. Veronique has the special gift of connecting with people and connecting people. She is a dynamic and giving professional, always ready to lead and inspire her peers.”
