Self-leadership and connection
« We all have the power to deeply, positively impact the people around us. »
Inspirational speaking, teaching and coaching on self-leadership and human connection.

Hi, I’m Joëlle. My mission: to inspire people to matter – to themselves, to others,
I am an entrepreneur, an introvert, and a hypersensitive being with a track record of experimenting with courage, vulnerability and resilience. Through jumping into a broad range of human experiences, I learned to leverage the « experience-as-a-teacher » to help others develop their own unique leadership superpowers.
Delivering authentic human connection
My exceptional quality of presence fosters real human connection with my clients and among participants. With wits and passion, I transmit deep perspectives rooted in human reality. My unique style of storytelling fosters emotional engagement, learning retention and a true desire for change and evolution.
My work
Speaking and Workshops
REVEAL YOUR LEADERSHIP SUPERPOWERS
I offer storytelling-based talks to engage leaders, managers and teams on the themes of personal leadership and authentic connection. My stories stem from a 52-week series of experiences I undertook while I operated my previous business. I view presence, courage and empathy as superpowers that we can access through adversity to grow and create positive impact. With my simple and passionate approach, I help my audience elevate their “humanship” skills to lead with their own unique superpowers.
« This talk was highly potent, inspiring, and so relevant for our leaders’ current challenges! »

Breakthrough sessions
DISSOLVING BLOCKS TO REACHING YOUR GOALS
I am a certified coach in emotional liberation. I offer powerful sessions to “break through” unconscious beliefs and emotional resistances that stand between you and your achievements. I work with a unique blend of neuroscience-based methods to effortlessly dig them out and create new neural pathways – quickly. In a 60-minute session we can jumpstart transformation. With me, clients finally get started on projects, change their relational patterns, get on a healthier track, or gather the courage to step up in their work.
Women’s Community
HELPING WOMEN GROW – EVEN THE LATE BLOOMERS
I offer teachings, workshops and opportunities to connect on a personal level with brilliant professional women in my online community. I am walking the path of deconstructing years of living and and working alone, and I am carrying a deep message of hope, love and playfulness. I share my expertise on transformational leadership related to relationships, coaching and mentoring. Invite me to speak in your women’s community, as I do with Fondation Lise Watier.

Meet your ally: Joëlle Parent-Proulx, MBA
Inspirational speaker, facilitator, emotional freedom coach
MBA + diploma in transformational leadership
I work with individuals and groups seeking positive change and more meaning in their lives.
My work is to help you in being who you are, connecting authentically with others, communicating responsibly, having a sense of purpose, stepping into your leadership superpowers, and inspiring others to matter. I work with a highly effective method to remove emotional blocks and accelerate you getting to what matters to you.
My greatest superpower and core teaching is one that is, alas, increasingly scarce: presence.
After a career in sales and business development, I founded, built and sold Vinkit Strategic Translation. Following this, seeking a healthy way to call in change and more meaning, I undertook a series of 52 experiences outside of my comfort zone. Through jumping into a broad range of human experiences, I learned to leverage the « experience-as-a-teacher » to help others develop their own unique leadership superpowers.
I also designed the Two Steps Out journey, a structured approach based on play, self-exploration and connection, that invites individuals and teams out of their comfort zones to challenge themselves to change and grow.
My life mission: to inspire people to matter to themselves, to others and to the world.
What is on my mind-heart these days: exploring and growing through loneliness – and supporting a group of brilliant women through their own blooming process.
