At the conference I attended in Vancouver in 2005, I experienced Isabelle as a very dynamic and intelligent speaker on the subject of midlife and retirement.  During her seminar for our community of lawyers in Whitehorse in Feb. 2008, I found her to be very professional as she informed and inspired us and gave us plenty of relevant food for thought.

This workshop, Authentic and Generative Leadership, created and conducted by Isabelle St-Jean was transformational. From the moment we began, Isabelle was creating community, creating sacred space. Gathering together on the beautiful isle of Bali we were a group “in search of...”. Isabelle led us through an elegantly simple process of internal discovery. With her guidance, her assurances that within, the answers awaited, she challenged us to be willing to believe and connect and breathe into the knowing. Her graceful being empowered us to reach deep and dream big. Creating the sacred in a sacred land...what could be more perfect? Much gratitude Isabelle!
