Lift Your Limits

It is no coincidence that the title of Lysanne Richard’s conference, in addition to being the title of her authoritative biography by Myriam Jézéquel published by Flammarion Québec, is lift your limits.

Lift your limits is a key phrase and a guideline in Lysanne’s life. Lift your limits fully represents her philosophy of life. The artistic side of this multi-disciplinary athlete with a colourful past, filled with her experience as a circus artist, mother of three children and top athlete, is exploited in this dynamic conference, where, based on her experiences, Lysanne shares her passion and her point of view.

Transforming yourself by offering yourself the chance to experience your own self-improvement is at the heart of this meeting with the speaker. Lysanne exchanges with the audience about different topics and values such as determination, resilience, trust, courage, pleasure, pride and teamwork, and she adds a few anecdotes with great humility.

You will come out of this conference inspired and motivated to live your own surpassing of yourself and so you will dare to launch yourself in the conquest of your adventure.

Rowing Forward, One Stroke at a Time

WHO IS MYLENE?

"Oh yes, the rower with the little yellow boat!"

A modern-day heroine, it was in November 2013 that Mylène Paquette came to write her name alongside these men and women who knew how to surpass themselves to accomplish a feat that was said to be impossible. 129 days to row, alone, the one many navigators dread: the Atlantic Ocean. A first in America!

Since 2010, Mylène has been a speaker in business as well as in front of school-age students. Mylène now offers a suitable service to continue its mission and continue to inspire everyone, in these times of change and disruption imposed by the crisis of Covid-19.

Mylène communicates her passion with frankness and humour. A passion that animated her as much during the preparation of her trip as during her crossing. It is this same passion that continues to push her to new horizons through all the possibilities that telework allows, despite the distance!
