A human conversation to elevate well-meaning leadership

Inspiring leaders create positive impact all around them. They are fully engaged, available, attentive and creative. Isn’t it what your clients, colleagues and parter are expecting of you?

A real talk on life and leadership

Joëlle’s real-world stories stem from a crazy project: 52 weeks of weekly experiences outside her comfort zone. She teaches about empathy from her experience begging on the street.

Speaker and Founder, Two Steps Out

Been wanting to send you a note to express my gratitude for attending our U.S. & Canada Field Marketing Leadership team meeting. We all left Montreal energized and inspired, and much of it is thanks to you! We chose you as a speaker because what you offer is so unique, fresh, relatable and actionable. Your stories were eye-opening as inspiring, and the team loved your presence. Several of us have started applying Stop & Drop, and are seeing great benefits!

You will walk away with the ability to:

Cultivate meaningful relationships

Partial or distracted presence creates real barriers to communication.

Practice an essential key to cultivate healthy and authentic relationships. Enhance team bonding while stepping up in personal and professional leadership.

Create possibilities in the face of adversity

In front of stress and uncertainty, fight-or-flight reactions keep us in unproductive loops.

Adopt a powerful reflex to bypass old patterns and transform chaos into harmony. 

Become a positive transformational agent

Influential leaders stand out with their presence and energy. They attract, energize, and inspire trust.

Elevate your genuine presence to uplift everyone around you.

I had the pleasure of attending one of Joëlle Parent-Proulx’s workshops and was instantly impressed. She gently and fascinatingly engaged the audience with her appreciation of metaphysics to instantly create change in all of us. Through her guidance, I experienced the power of how a heightened sense of managing oneself can positively impact future decisions, behaviours, and relationships.

Inspirational speaker
Breakthrough Coach – emotional liberation
Trained in transformational leadership

I work with those seeking positive change and more meaning in their lives.

I help you grow in Love & Leadership – being who you are, connecting authentically with others, communicating responsibly, living with purpose, stepping into your leadership superpowers, and inspiring others. I work with a highly effective “breakthrough” method to remove emotional blocks and accelerate you getting to what matters to you.

After 10 years in sales and business development, I founded, built and sold Vinkit Strategic Translation. Following this, I embarked on a remarkable odyssey – challenging myrself to embrace one new experience outside the comfort zone each week for a year (x52). This profound voyage illuminated invaluable lessons in trust, resilience, courage, empathy, and well-being—fundamental elements of effective leadership.

My life mission: to inspire people to matter to themselves, to others and to the world.

My greatest superpower is my Presence – deep, transformative… and witty.

What is on my mind-heart these days: helping women leaders and entrepreneurs transform through the deep connection between Love and Leadership.

Why now? 

Our work culture values the need to be productive. When things are moving too fast, our field of vision narrows. Our over-stimulated attention fails to see the nuances, and we react impulsively.

Then, tensions accumulate and create situations that we need to rush to resolve. Creativity dwindles. Patch solutions don’t hold. Leaders and colleagues feel disconnected and become disengaged.

This workshop rekindles your connection and elevates your actions.

It’s a simple yet profound way to create positive impact and harmony.

It happens here and now.
