Leadership Human-Style
07/10/24 • 31 min
“Sometimes I do explain and talk about our function as a first responder. Sometimes we see, we're exposed to really tragic personal stories. We witness, you know, some particularly traumatic incidents.”
- Catherine Hebert
What life experiences have shaped your approach to how you lead? How would you describe yourself as a leader? Today’s guest shares her journey to becoming a highly-resilient woman and leader through broad experience, traumatic loss and deep learning.

Throughout her professional journey, Catherine has demonstrated her passion for driving organizational excellence, fostering cultures of continuous growth, and her commitment to elevating the human capital agenda in diverse industries and roles on a global scale.

Originally from Saguenay, Quebec she has since settled with her family in a rural community west of Ottawa, Ontario. Catherine holds a Bilingual BA in Sociology from York University’s Glendon College, complemented by further studies in Human Resources Management, Change Management, and Coaching.
