Province of Quebec,
The telework reality of our engineering firm has evolved quite a bit… Hugo and his team of experts helped our organization identify strengths, challenges and gaps through an organizational telework diagnostic. The exercise clarified our positioning with respect to telework and will allow us to optimize telework in a targeted and efficient way. I recommend Hugo and his team of specialists, a wise choice to find the balance between face-to-face and virtual work for your company.

Sherbrooke,
Our study had the opportunity to participate in the Telework Academy cohort in Spring 2022. The Telework Academy team was able to identify our position on telework. The recommendations of their experts, delivered in a telework organizational diagnostic, allowed us to learn more about our team’s needs. In addition, we obtained the necessary information to update our contracts and internal policies regarding telework, in order to prepare for the future, given the high demand for hybrid work for new recruits.

Letter of Recommendation: Nadine Beaupré
Quebéc, January 19, 2021
My team and I had the opportunity to have a co-development workshop with Nadine. In the opinion of the whole group, it was a very enriching and instructive experience. We have learned a lot, including some very useful knowledge that will allow us to make daily use of it and thus improve our interventions with our employees and our clients.
This will improve and increase the impact of our leadership!!
Nadine is a very dynamic person; she knows how to make us understand what she shares with us through concrete and practical examples. Her personal experience and advice make us think about how we approach our employees and especially how to properly use management tools and our leadership.

Letter of Recommendation: Nadine Marcon
Canada, January 19, 2021
Nadine has been an incredible coach during a difficult professional transition (change of position following a one-year work stoppage). Thanks to her great listening skills, her tools, her experience and her humanity, she allowed me to reconnect with my strengths, to better see the stakes for each and everyone and therefore to see the situation in a global and more detached way. Her contribution has been crucial in getting me through this moment and finding a new balance at work. And the benefits were felt throughout my personal life.
It’s always inspiring to see people on their “X” and Nadine is definitely one of them. Thank you for everything!

Letter of Recommendation: Jean Boudreault
Canada, January 19, 2021
The team coaching approach has allowed a stronger sense of belonging with the team and an openness in respecting differences, understanding that no one is the same and that you have to put a little water in your wine to manage it better.
It allowed us to trust each other more, to know ourselves and our collaborators better with the Nova profile, to enhance our strengths and to mitigate our weaknesses. It allowed us to reorganize the roles of certain managers, to highlight the strengths of individuals for a stronger team.
We have learned to communicate better with each other by practicing better listening and asking the right questions to get to the bottom of what the other person means. Commitment is an important team concept for the respect of our colleagues.
Jean has great respect for individuals. He sees strengths in each of us. It’s a mark of competence on his part.
