TESTIMONIALS

I had the pleasure of serving as honorary president of the Nature-Québec fundraising campaign during which Mylène gave a talk. I was thrilled to listen to her generously share her experience. Mylène is an energetic and articulate communicator. She knows how to balance anecdotes, her history and what she has learned along the way. She prompts a very inspiring and legitimate philosophical discussion. A moving encounter.

Marc Picard

Director General at Caisse d’économie solidaire Desjardins

I’ve attended many talks over the years and never have I felt so many different emotions over the course of a single event. Thanks to Mylène’s gift for storytelling, she took our whole group along with her on her adventure to relive intense, nail-biting moments as she made history on the Atlantic. She communicates with candour and humour, connecting her experiences with our own reality and providing lessons that reach beyond the professional setting. Simply brilliant!

Martin Bernier, MBA

Have you attended Mylène Paquette’s talk? I have. And I can say that, in addition to being captivated by her absolutely incredible journey, I was deeply charmed by the authenticity and strength of this inspiring woman. I recommend that everyone go hear Mylène speak. You will learn a lot of life lessons, even if you don’t intend to cross the ocean alone in a rowboat! Bravo, Mylène!

Brigitte Jalbert

I had the great privilege of having Mylène as a speaker and spending some time with her. Her adventure shows us the importance of collaboration, of how important it is to persevere despite the obstacles we face. She also explains how she overcame the many obstacles she had to contend with. Beyond her conference, Mylène is a caring, engaging and extremely humble person. Simply WOW! #Attitude

Fréderic Tracey

I recommended that Mylène give a talk at my office, and she did not disappoint! Aside from being an excellent communicator, she can tailor her content to reflect the issues the company wants to focus on. Many people were skeptical as they had attended similar talks in the past, but they were very pleasantly surprised to see how Mylène adapts her content so that it’s relevant to everyone in the company, people at every level, all the way up to senior management.
