Time spent in Recce is seldom wasted.

“Recce” is a military term, short for reconnaissance, and basically means exploring the paths you might take without committing too much energy or investing a lot of money and other resources to help you make an educated guess on how you may plan to achieve your goal(s).

I encourage you to conduct a recce of this site, and the courses offered here, to figure out if you’d like to invest your energy, time (and eventually money) here. The free mini-course “Networking: Identifying and Connecting with Friendly Forces” is a great place to start.

Ideal Candidates

You’ve got a formal education, and decades of experience in one industry, lots of drive and a dream that you’re steadily working towards. You could use a sounding board to help you discover which paths might help you reach your goals faster.

You’re a recent college or university grad, who’s doing very well in your current job, and wondering how to find the next opportunity to help you reach your long-term career goals.

You’re a creative with a varied career and little to no formal post secondary education who wants to grow your passion project side hustle into a full-time abundant career, even if that means creating your own job.

Most of your career has been in the military, you know it’s time to move on, but you’re not quite sure how the skills you developed in the military can be transferred to a meaningful second career on civvie street.

Owner of Empowered Path Inc.

Hi!

I think of myself as a Thought Partner, someone who helps you learn practical strategies, tactics and skills that can help you achieve your goals and thrive. Consider me your guide, helping you discover and explore potential paths to reach your definition of success. 


You already have it within you to achieve your goals. I provide a sounding board, asking questions to make sure I understand what you’re trying to do, which often helps you clarify your goals. I also offer feedback on what you’re doing now, and make suggestions about things you may choose to do differently. 


To do this, I leverage my 40+ years of leadership - yes, I started leading people when I was a young teenager! I continued to hone my leadership skills during a successful 28-year career serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.  I was a Lieutenant-Colonel when I chose to become a veteran. 


I’ve been helping people figure out how to achieve their career goals for more than 20 years.


Now, with 11 years as an entrepreneur and 20+ years experience as an active volunteer in my community, I’ve learned how to guide other entrepreneurs and volunteers to success.


The top three skills people endorse me for on LinkedIn are “Leadership Development, Training, and Leadership.”  Hundreds of people say I’m good at this! 


My purpose is to help you learn tactics and strategies to help you discover your ideal job. Witnessing your success brings me joy.

Here’s how we’re different

    Chantal's parents taught her to treat everyone with respect, that we all have gifts to share, and to speak up and help others, whenever possible. That means that Chantal communicates with radical candour. Because she wants you to succeed, she'll share what she's observed, her lessons learned, and make the occasional suggestion about what you might want to do differently moving forward.

Melissa Bellocchi-Hull, CHRP, CHRL, CPM (She/Her/Hers)

Director, Human Resources at CHEO Research Institute/HRPA Ottawa Chapter - Past President

I was so grateful to have taken the Empowered Path Inc. course. Chantal’s leadership in navigating the course was incredible, as was being able to connect with my fellow students on a regular basis. I reflected on my career, did a vision board, used mind maps and reflected on who my “friendly forces” were. Chantal is very invested with her students and the one-on-one sessions with her are so helpful! This course gave me the courage to change industries after 25+ years!

Mahyar Garmsiri, CHRP (He/Him)

Talent Acquisition Specialist at Steeves & Rozema Group

I joined Chantal's course to learn how to improve my leadership skills. Not only did I learn how to do that, I learned how to improve many work skills and life skills. I used these new skills to work on my mental and spiritual well-being in my personal life to better handle work stress and staying connect. I also used these skills to more clearly identify the actionable goals I needed to achieve to grow in my career. I still keep in touch with my fellow classmates from Chantal's course and I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their career.

There are many ways in which Chantal’s course benefited me with my career and personal life but ones that stand out are how I see it evidenced in my life. I moved from a job that had very little challenge to a rewarding career with a significant pay rise. I am helping other people succeed and progress in their careers and I hope in their lives, if even in a small way. Never be afraid to ask for what you want.

Empowering employees to do what they do best in an inclusive & innovative environment, while maintaining a healthy work/life balance

Even though part of my background was as a career coach, it's really hard to coach yourself into your next career. So I reached out to Chantal to get some clarity around my approach to a possible job opportunity. She gave me some straight forward simple advice (and confidence) on what to do to ensure my needs were met. And, it worked! I landed exactly what I was after. Thanks Chantal for being my trusted coach and cheerleader all in one! She carries with her great knowledge and experience and a very positive mindset and is available when you need her most! I have no doubt that she can help others gain a clearer path to their next career move.

We met for coffee and our meeting that day changed both my life and business model! Chantal also opened up a series of new doors for me by suggesting I consider speaking for an upcoming Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) conference. Soon after our meeting I was booked as a speaker for a large HRPA conference and am now listed on their Speaker Roster! It was clear from the beginning that Chantal possesses strong leadership skills - including her unique ability to recognize unconventional talent and apply it in creative and innovative ways! She is a very deep and insightful person and has proven to be a great mentor. Chantal is personally responsible for helping me identify opportunities to expand my business model and has significantly increased my professional network. I am a personal attestation to her services; she changed my life and she can change yours too!
