Mastering Leadership - Bob Anderson et Bill Adams
A Business Imperative
Today’s organizations face extraordinary adaptive challenges. That’s why developing more conscious, collaborative and deeply resourced leaders and teams is a business imperative.
At the Leadership Imperative Institute, we engage leaders and their teams in a transformative process to evolve their awareness of self and others, as well as increase their skills and impact. Our clients learn and practise more agile ways of leading, teaming and partnering. The result is more systemically attuned leaders who benefit from greater ease, resilience and ability to co-create value across ecosystems.
We partner with senior leaders, cross-functional groups and intact teams, to catalyze effectiveness and value creation across organizations and ecosystems.
Are you feeling overwhelmed?
Today's leaders and teams often struggle to keep pace with the world's growing complexity and unpredictability. This leads to heightened stress, reactive behaviours, scattered execution and reduced performance.
At the Leadership Imperative Institute, we partner with you to pinpoint and address your organization’s leadership gaps. We utilize proven transformational, developmental and systemic frameworks to cultivate the maturity of mind required to lead and collaborate effectively now and in the future.
« We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. »
Albert Einstein
Developing a more agile, future-fit mindset and aligning with a compelling, meaningful purpose are musts today.
By consciously stepping away from autopilot, you transform your thinking patterns and reactive behaviours, enabling you to make more deliberate and purposeful choices.
The outcome is enhanced adaptive and collaborative capabilities—a powerful boost to your ability to lead, work as a team and achieve what matters most.
The Meta-practice of Conscious Leadership
We've distilled decades of experience from working with diverse organizations and mentors into a powerful meta-practice for conscious leaders. This meta-practice focuses on understanding and cultivating the essence of conscious leaders and teams, along with the outcomes they produce. It includes the daily practice of identifying your reactive and autopilot behaviours and their effects. Working with us, you also learn techniques to help you return to a conscious state of being(mindful).

"I began a coaching relationship with Monica, which continues to this day. She has helped me become more self-aware, more conscious of how I relate to others, and of my influence on them. Monica has reshaped the way I perceive the world. I can now better manage both professional and personal relationships and situations, and I often find myself sharing her wisdom with others who need support. The work hasn't always been easy, but Monica has always had my best interests at heart, knowing when to push me further and when to give me a bit of a break. Her influence has transformed my life, and I can't thank her enough.
Nathalie Fagnan
President and CEO, Héma-Québec
"Gilles' approach combines a deep knowledge of conscious leadership, extensive experience, and the right tools. He also has an extraordinary ability to meet clients where they are. Gilles encourages reflection through his insightful and thought-provoking questions. He has helped me immensely in breaking free from limiting mental models that were hindering my leadership and well-being in my role as President and CEO of Héma-Québec. Through coaching, I realized that conscious leadership is both a personal and daily commitment. I deeply value our sessions and believe that approaching them with an open and learning mindset allows me to fully benefit from his remarkable coaching and teachings.
Alain Aubertin President and CEO, CRIAQ
"I called upon Monica to support my team in a process of alignment and creating a stronger and more collaborative team culture. We had several online team sessions with Monica to develop a shared understanding of our stakeholders' aspirations. We aligned our priorities and refocused on the interests of our stakeholders. The team members are more engaged, energized, and focused. This bodes well for our ability to build a more sustainable and agile aerospace industry, serving an equal and diverse society. Monica's skills, warmth, and sense of humor allow her to create a sense of psychological safety and engage us in a transformation process, both individually and collectively

"I have attended many excellent leadership development workshops, but Gilles' training is the only one that has profoundly changed my life.
"
Denburk Reid
CEO, Montreal Community Foundation
"Monica supported our team of 20 basketball coaches through a 10-week training focused on aligning and discovering our collective challenges, aspirations, and, most importantly, our higher purpose that goes beyond basketball. The training helped us develop understanding, empathy, and a greater ability to think, act, and learn together. It strengthened our sense of being a true team and reinforced a culture of shared leadership within our team and with our various stakeholders.
Monica is a true leader who believes in the importance of giving back to the community. She continues to be a role model for all of us
Jason C. Roberts
President, Maritime Electric
"Although the overall strategic goal
of our individual sessions was to
strengthen my leadership skills and
support my career progression,
Monica's coaching also allowed me
to grow on a personal level. I
became a better communicator,
more comfortable in my
interactions, not only within the
Maritime Electric team but also with
my family, friends, and other
relationships. This has enabled me
to build stronger relationships in
various areas of my life and has
given me the confidence to become
a more active, visible leader, a
crucial attribute in my new role as
President and CEO
