Johanne Bouchard’s career has spanned technology, marketing, worldwide strategy, international market expansion and globalization. For over a decade she has had an unwavering commitment to exemplary governance and leadership, fostering healthier individuals and healthier organizations. Johanne is “The Leadership Whisperer,” encouraging self-mastery and transparent leadership for ourselves and with others. In a very short-time, Johanne helps leaders tap into their potential in ways that they couldn’t have envisioned on their own.
Whether acting as confidante to a CEO or assisting the integration of a board through, and post, a Merger and/or Acquisition, Johanne remains calm and productive, effectively guiding her clients towards progress, resolution and conviviality. Johanne is a firm believer in introspection and has the ability to plan and conduct powerful “pulse checks” regarding the effectiveness of boards and individuals, regardless of their roles and the size of the organization.
“This was a very difficult situation, having to do with both CEO and Board effectiveness, and the need to face and overcome challenges and limitations quickly. The task was daunting and urgent. Johanne did a great job, and most importantly her insight – and sensitivity – permitted decisions to be made that worked for all concerned. In the process she helped the Board face perhaps one of the most difficult issues of Board governance, present in many companies but usually not addressed in a timely manner because of complexity and inconvenience: is the CEO the right person for the challenges ahead? If recognized in time, as was done here, it can be resolved with the best outcome for the company. It seems to me that this type of in-depth assistance is urgently needed, maybe even more so at these challenging times.”
