Marie-Claude is a certified executive coach and facilitator with decades of communications experience in healthcare, academia, consumer products, and luxury goods. She approaches communications coaching as an active listener who quickly makes connections, and wastes no time getting results.

Approach

Marie-Claude’s approach to communications coaching focuses on helping leaders do more of what they do well as communicators. She applies the 80/20 rule to take executives’ skills to the next level – identifying one or two improvements that will yield the greatest results, and working to eliminate distractions and help increase focus on communications. Marie-Claude developed her unique approach to coaching from her expertise as an equine-assisted leadership trainer – team-building with horses. Native-born French, Marie-Claude conducts trainings in both English and French.
