J’ai vraiment adoré la conférence de M. Bouchard. On a bien rit et c’était super intéressant. Ses anecdotes étaient tantôt cocasses, tantôt touchantes et il a bien réussi à retenir l’attention de tous.Tout le groupe semble avoir apprécié également. […] De plus, plusieurs étaient honorés de recevoir cette personnalité publique à notre retraite, moi y compris.

The Praise of Accidents (or How to Live Your Life Instead of Enduring It)

With his trademark sense of humor, speaker Denis Bouchard gives an overview of his career, with anecdotes that are as funny as they are delicious. With enthusiasm, he talks about his life’s great passion, his work as a “creator”. And travel, his second great passion.

In doing so, he shares his thoughts on life, the importance of teamwork, efficiency, stress management, overcoming one’s limitations, selling oneself well and self-confidence.

He also dwells on the “accidents along the way” that happen to all of us in life. In his view, they are always a prelude to beneficial change, and full of opportunities that you have to seize. “When it happens, you have to trust your instincts, push yourself and get out of your comfort zone”, he likes to say. Game changers are all around us all the time. You just have to recognize them. Only those who adapt survive.

The praise of accidents is the art of living one’s life instead of undergoing it. As he likes to say in his own language: The need creates the organ!
