    By the fall of 2025, Canadians will have to go to the polls. By then, will Justin Trudeau be able to turn things around? Will Pierre Poilievre become Canada’s next Prime Minister? What impact would the election of a Conservative government have on the Canadian economy and on our relations with the United States? How can your organization influence the course of the next election campaign? With over a decade of experience on the federal scene, Marc-André will help you better understand the issues and forces at play in the next federal election.

    Incisive analysis of Canadian politics

    Marc-André Leclerc, political columnist at TVA LCN and Le Journal de Montréal, invites you to dive into the heart of the current political issues shaping Canada. Through his conference, he will provide sharp analysis and a unique perspective on the forces at play in the national political landscape. Drawing on his experience and media interventions, Leclerc decodes the strategies of the parties, political tensions, and the major challenges the government will face in the coming years. Enriched by his reports and field observations, this conference offers an in-depth reflection on the direction the country is taking and its relationship with its southern neighbor.

    An opportunity for an engaging exchange to better understand the dynamics at play and anticipate upcoming developments in a context of political turbulence.

    Team dynamics: From potential to excellence

    Whether it’s the pandemic or the restructuring of your organization, every good employee must demonstrate leadership qualities. How do you build a winning team? How do you manage millennials? How do you ensure that all players are moving in the same direction? With his unique background, Marc-André Leclerc will explain how we can perform at the highest level when we are well surrounded. Like open-water swimming, our society and work environments are often filled with sharks, and Marc-André will help you avoid them.

    To a valiant heart, nothing is impossible!

    A native of Roberval, Marc-André dreamed of crossing “his” lake, Lake Saint-Jean. A dream that became reality in 2003. After hanging up his swimwear in 2007, he would later face the murky waters of politics. During his ten years on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, he climbed the ranks to the most prestigious position for a political staffer: chief of staff. By sharing his victories and defeats, Marc-André Leclerc will explain how he faced adversity. A unique testimony that will help you reach the highest peaks in your field.
