Do you recognize your organization?
Can't keep up?
Your business is growing fast, and results have never been better, yet you just can’t seem to keep up. You need more leadership, more talent, more expertise, more bandwidth, and more time. You are constantly trying to do more with what you have but it’s taking a toll on the organization.
Feeling stuck?
It feels like no matter how hard you try, you’re stuck at being good, but never great. You see the full potential of the organization, yet you’re not sure how to mobilize your leadership team and employees to reach it. Further growth seems illusive as performance and results are stagnant and unpredictable.
Leadership gaps?
You have a good team, but you see signs of vulnerability everywhere. You wonder what it would be like if your management team was more sophisticated and skilled at the art of leadership. How much closer can your organization be to its full potential if the management team had a common vision, was better aligned, more collaborative, and communicated more effectively?
Troubling signs?
Overwhelmed?

Management tool: learn to create healthy boundaries
I want the tool
I'm Suzanne Bernard, leadership coach and expert in complex HR cases
Managing complex HR projects and coaching senior executives in the manufacturing sector
For more than 20 years, I have devoted my professional life to the well-being of people and organisations.
My personal and professional experiences have led me to develop a rare expertise in managing complex human resources and organisational development cases.
My aim is for people and organisations to work together and be inspiring leaders, even in complex situations.
There's nothing I can't do
I often say that I'm afraid of nothing. I'm fired up by difficult situations, motivated by challenges and determined to find the simplest most effective solutions to every problem.
I'm a multi-solver.
A few years ago, I was involved in the mass hiring for a plant here in Quebec because they saw the potential in me and because I knew the job market.
It was my first assignment of this kind. I came up with the idea of stacking a number of solutions to make sure we would deliver. My team and I created a 5-layer recruitment strategy, a world-class integration programme and a technical training program to attract labour specific to the needs of this plant.
This plant can now count on a continuous pool of qualified employees.
I perform best when clients tell me it's impossible.
I'm resourceful, but when the going gets tough, I surround myself with the best. I've assembled experts in web-recruitment, compensation, technical training and project management who step in when the project calls for it.
My clients come to me because they are desperate and have 'tried everything'.
An Unusual, Innovative and Collective Approach
My clients describe my approach as impressive. For me, it's just a way of being that's imbued with my keen understanding of people, my management skills and great strategic strength. I see far and wide for my clients. I have a great ability to anticipate needs and pitfalls.
Whether in coaching or consulting, my clients understand that their individual actions have a collective impact and that they need to be innovative.
What's more, I've developed a range of management approaches that may seem unusual, but have proved their worth.
I'm transparent and make sure we always tell each other the real story.
I question the foundations in place before moving forward and I get people to progress in their best interests and those of the organisation.
What I do for my clients is concrete, innovative and tailored to their immediate needs. I don't like complexity, I like seeing clients achieve results. I've implemented strategies that are still being used 15 years later: I work with a long-term vision.
