Strategic coaching | Example of a mandate
Zone Innovation Sherbrooke Quantique, Quebec, Canada
With the retirement of 2 of the 6 founding members of the initiative that led to the designation of the Zone Innovation Sherbrooke Quantique (Josée Fortin and Marie-France Bélanger), the Board of Directors awarded a Phase 1 strategic support mandate to Evolutrek — the firm I manage — to clarify alignments, bring together stakeholders (around 40) and preserve momentum, in this context of succession.
DistriQ is born in 2022
On February 3, 2022, Quebec Premier François Legault designated the first 2 Innovation Zones, as part of the vision presented in the book “Cap sur un Québec gagnant, Le Projet Saint-Laurent”.
- DistriQ, in Sherbrooke
- Technum (Technologies Numériques), in Bromont, with the establishment of IBM’s first quantum computer.

Watch | Quantum technology
Qbits Innovation-accelerating ecosystem in Quebec, Canada
Quantum sciences and their technologies herald a revolution in many sectors, including the environment, mobility, health and renewable energy.
Discovering the infinitely small opens the way to a multitude of innovations in sensors, quantum computers, cryptography, cybersecurity, telecommunications, transport (super-conduction) and more.
Researchers in quantum physics and quantum computing with Qbits will continue to amaze us with their discoveries!
Did you know that quantum phenomena underlie photosynthesis?
In the transformation of light into matter that nourishes our cells with vital energy, through the plants in our food.

Watch | Neuroscience
Emotions, needs and values impact our behavior, relationships and business results.
Neuroscience models applied to leadership that I use and deploy (Neuroleadershift ™) can facilitate effective collaboration through a better understanding of how the brain, nervous system and neurotransmitters work.
The evolution of knowledge about the endocrine system (hormones) and the immune system — our innernet and wireless communication and telecommunication system! — is gradually enabling us to better understand and, ultimately, anticipate interactions between humans, in the office, at work and in the various contexts of life.
Strategic Intelligence | Themes
In order to contribute a holistic perspective to the boards of directors in which I am involved, and to ensure significant added value for my clients in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world, I stay on the lookout for innovations by networking with futurists and scientists, leaders, pioneers, entrepreneurs and experts from a variety of fields.
Business and organizations |
The difference that makes the difference
Anticipate and solve business challenges by keeping abreast of trends and transformations in ecosystems, as well as advances in science, technology, and innovation.
Watch topics :
Governance. Coaching. Mentoring. Management. Leadership.
Behavioral sciences. Interpersonal communication.
Ecosystems. Different forms of intelligence.
Evolution of consciousness |
Links between energy, matter and information
The study of theories on consciousness (work by neuroscientists, anesthesiologists, etc.), psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunology (body-brain connection via the vagus nerve, studies on microbiomes, the HPA axis on the stress loop, cortisol, and adrenalin and other neurotransmitters), understanding the Placebo and Nocebo effects, advances in collective and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as research into emotions and energy — via advances in quantum physics — are among my interests and passions.
Watch topics :
Energy. Longevity. Neuroscience. Epigenetics. Vitality.
