Richard Daoust

Administrateur de carrière, Richard Daoust est un gestionnaire frondeur et un négociateur efficace. En tant que mentor, il met en lumière les contradictions qu’il détecte avec le mentoré, l’amène à attaquer le problème et à l’orienter vers les bonnes pistes d’actions. Le fondement du succès selon lui est d’être heureux dans ce que l’on a choisi d’accomplir. Et ça va plus loin. «Le succès, c’est aussi d’être capable d’analyser et de comprendre sa situation et d’avoir le culot de prendre de nouvelles orientations quand on en sent le besoin».

Richard Daoust

Dominique Laverdure

Dans sa philosophie de redonner au suivant, Dominique Laverdure s’engage d’abord et avant tout en tant que mentor parce qu’elle aime les entrepreneurs. «J’ai beaucoup d’intérêt pour les entreprises en démarrage, qui ont des défis de croissance», précise-t-elle. Cette personne dynamique est sans contredit une leader et une bonne communicatrice, sur qui le mentoré peut compter pour échanger des idées et trouver des pistes de solutions. Sa définition du succès? «Pour moi le succès c’est d’arriver à être heureuse et équilibrée. De pouvoir faire ce que j’aime tous les jours, avec le sourire».
