Let’s Lead Together for Change

I am Claude Emond and I believe we can improve each other’s lives. Are you looking for change? Expanding leadership at work? Tackling new and bigger projects? Planting seeds for personal growth? Let me take this journey with you. Let’s Lead Together for Change.

For more than 30 years now, I have been professionally managing projects of all sizes, while guiding, training and coaching thousands of others to successfully manage their own. As a Baby Boomer with a Millennial mindset, I have learned a lot of tricks to transform both small and big things for the better. I share my own style of agile, collaborative, co-creative project management and strongly believe that I can contribute to improving the world. And I believe that together, we can create a happier and more sustainable place for all of us. More about me, my values, and what I have done to develop and share knowledge with the people I have met on my journey.

Projects are the fabric of our lives

Life itself is a big project, a journey with a known beginning and a relatively unknown end. I have learned a lot living my projects and those of others, experiencing failures and celebrating and sharing successes. I am happy to help you avoid mistakes by using the strategies that took me a lifetime to integrate into my values, behaviors and best practices. I share with you through my blog and programs, products and personal appearances.

Leading Together for Change: the blog

Please join me as I share values, principles, techniques, tools and tricks through the articles and other writings I will regularly post in my blog. Your life experiences are unique and very valuable, whatever your age. We are all equal co-journeyers in our mutual lifetime. I humbly believe, and I know for a fact, that I also will learn a lot of things sharing with you in this blog. Your comments will enrich the posts and change them into conversations among equals. I welcome any one to contribute their own posts, in order for us to lead change together.

Programs

with Claude Emond

I offer down to earth, high performance coaching, consulting, training and speaking programs to support you on your journey to become a better leader and co-leader of change. Each program is based on sharing and implementing the time-tested and very effective Agile Mindset illustrated on the right.

Download the free eBook “RED” for a complete description of the Agile Mindset by hitting the Sign-up button above.

(You will receive the eBook’s contents as they are written and you will be invited to act and be acknowledged, in the version to be officially published before Christmas 2014, as one of its co-editors though your comments, if you wish to do so. I believe this first eBook will be a better one with your comments than being based only on my own life experiences. Together we will make it a better book.)

Do you want to know more about what I offer?

In the coming months, I will add more tools to support your learning experience and help you integrate your growing knowledge and skill sets into new behaviors and best practices. Based on our conversations and your requests, these will include ebooks, books, podcasts, videos and webinars to enrich your journey. I plan to write a second eBook, “GREEN” , to be published next spring 2015. This book will go beyond the Agile Mindset. It will be a personal look at agile and will propose to its readers a complete set of collaborative and co-creative project management principles and how-tos.

All of my programs are based on sharing, learning, integrating and implementing the Agile Mindset into your life and work. Currently, I provide four integrated services to support you, your teams and your collaborators at work and in all your personal endeavors.

High Performance Coaching

I provide highly effective personal and team coaching to make you completely self-sufficient, and ever more successful and happier at work and all other areas of life. We will accomplish that together, through mutual sharing and coaching, as we co-create, co-develop, let you choose and integrate YOUR VERY OWN Agile Mindset, aligned with your values and adaptable to your specific business and personal needs.

Highly Focused and Effective Consulting

I provide professional business and personalized consulting services for you, your teams and your collaborators. By delivering necessary benchmarking and diagnostic information, global perspectives and very specific contextual recommendations, I support developing and implementing YOUR VERY OWN high performance, agile, collaborative and co-creative change/project strategies and detailed action plans.

Immediately Actionable Workshops, Seminars and Courses

My workshops, seminars and courses cover organizational agility, agile-lean project management, portfolio and program management, benefits realization management and forming, building and developing teams. This effective training is designed and developed to be readily actionable in your specific environment, both during and immediately after its delivery.

In-demand Keynotes that Engage, Empower and Mobilize

For more than a decade, I have been invited to deliver speeches, keynotes and presentations at conferences around the world. My most popular messages are on organizational engagement, productivity, as well as transformational changes and the best behaviors and practices that make them succeed.
