Turning Leadership Transition Into a Launchpad

The Inflection Point

When Julie Deschênes — a long-standing team member — stepped into the role of President, Équilibrum entered a defining moment. The founder’s transition to a less active role marked more than a leadership shift; it was a chance to reimagine how the business could scale with intention. The clinical reputation was strong. The opportunity was clear. What the organization needed was focus: a shared strategic direction, stronger internal alignment, and the clarity to grow without compromising its core.

Client perspective

Geneviève made a huge difference in my integration as President. With simplicity and humanity, she helped me understand where the organization stood — and where I stood as a leader. She brought clarity to our market, translated it into bold, focused priorities, and gave us the confidence to align capital and resources where it truly matters.
