CONFERENCES
IN SEVERAL CANADIAN PROVINCES AND INTERNATIONALLY, I'VE ALREADY PRESENTED MY CONFERENCES NEARLY 200 TIMES TO COMPANIES, SCHOOLS AND TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
It was the death of my mother from cancer in her early fifties that gave me the impetus I needed to realize my dream of a long bicycle trip. Over the next 4 years, my journey would take me through 40 countries, 40 km and 000 continents.
I talk about surpassing oneself, about different cultures around the world, about how lucky we are to have won this "birth lottery". I also tailor messages to specific requests from organizers or teachers. For example, by addressing organizational change, communication between different departments, or the right we have to change ideas and itineraries.
The most popular length is around 1 h to 1 h 15, including questions, but can also be adjusted from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Presentations can be given in English or French. Below, you'll find a downloadable PDF document, a list of past clients and comments received following my lectures.
