Certifications
An Experienced Public Sector Leader
I value leading with empathy, clear priorities, achievable outcomes and a workplace that drives both high performance and well-being. Family and health come first, but so must results.
I honed my management approach as a Government of Canada executive leading teams over 20 years – as chief of staff, in digital services, communications, corporate governance, and policy making.
I now leverage my broad experience to help other public sector leaders and teams.
Based in Ottawa, I am a certified business coach (ACC, International Coaching Federation), trained with the Flow Coaching Institute. I also trained as a Prosci change sponsor.
I am an approved PSPC ProServices supplier. Here is my policy on security, privacy and use of AI.
I have an Honours Bachelor of Commerce in public policy from the University of Ottawa. I completed graduate courses in public administration at Carleton University. I love jazz guitar.

Testimonials
EX Interviews – “I made the (EX-3) pool!!!! Thank you so much for your support. Your sessions were incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate the mock interview and your valuable feedback. During a particularly challenging period at work, your guidance helped me stay focused and boosted my confidence. I am deeply grateful for your assistance.” – 2025″
Coaching – “Leadership coaching from Francois helped me learn how to delegate better, to balance my involvement in files with analyst independence, and how to be more like a coach (like Ted Lasso) rather than a movie director or orchestra conductor.” – 2025
Training – “That was an AWESOME presentation and really thoughtful responses to the Q&A. We couldn’t have hoped for it to go better when we initially designed the event. Thank you so much!!!” – 2025
Facilitation and Events – “First and foremost, François is an amazing individual. He is engaging, thoughtful and insightful – and infuses lightness, humour, and laughter in his interactions with others. He is adept at reading the room and I have no doubt you, and your entire group, will find your session/workshop with him rich and worthwhile.” – 2025
Change Management – “Our federal agency hired François to provide strategic and change management advice on the planning and roll-out of our revised Hybrid Work model. François’ extensive executive management experience, and his superior communications and change management skills were invaluable in assisting our organization to implement this workplace change in a smooth and caring way.” – 2025
Strategic Planning and Renewal – “It was a pleasure working with you. (Our workforce management practices) have really made giant strides in the last year. We now have to maintain them.” – 2023
