When Marie Dancourt-Cavanagh discovered Alan Seale’s Transformational Presence work in 2018, it was a key turning point to switch from transactional to transformational coaching and to uncover the powerful impact of a potential-based approach. The Transformational Presence approach truly does reconcile the rational mind with intuitive wisdom.
Marie is an experienced transformational systemic leadership coach, trainer, and facilitator, supporting executives, teams, and leaders in unleashing their leadership potential and making a difference where it matters. She is passionate about meaningful and sustainable change, using a combination of creative approaches as well as systemic and collective intelligence tools, all supported by the foundation of Transformational Presence.
Among Marie’s specialties are leadership development and change management, high-performing teams, cross-cultural communication, resilience and stress management, talent and strengths development, career and life transitions, and women in leadership.
Marie has a background in international affairs in the public sector at operational, strategic and senior management levels. With almost 25 years of business experience and 10 years as the founder of OpeningWays coaching and consulting group, she has built extensive experience over a range of industry and economic sectors that help her bring an out-of-the-box perspective to those she serves.
Marie brings a natural enthusiasm, strong strategic focus, integrity, creativity, and both a learning and operational mindset to her work. She is deeply committed to humanistic values and building a more respectful, fair, and inclusive world.
