THE PROBLEM I SOLVE
You’re not in overdrive. You’re mentally under-strategized.
Most of the women executives I coach arrive with the same sentence: “I’m functioning, but I’ve lost something.” They’re not burned out. They’re losing their discernment.
Here’s what I see again and again:
The 3 signals that bring executives to me
Decision fatigue.
You make 200 decisions a day. By evening, choosing dinner feels like an effort. You know a good leader shouldn’t drain herself like this — but you don’t know where to set the dial.
The amplified inner critic.
The higher you climb, the louder the voice in your head gets. Impostor syndrome. Perfectionism. The fear of letting the team down. You keep performing anyway — but the inner cost keeps climbing.
Losing your
“why.”
You deliver. You hold it together. You shine on the surface. But you no longer recognize the woman who started this project. You feel like you’re managing your life instead of leading it.
“You can’t think harder to get out of this. The way out lies elsewhere — in how you train your mind, not in how much effort you demand of it.”
— Lucie Montpetit
QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE 3 PROGRAMS
Under pressure, you don’t need to push harder. You need to regain access to your mental strategies.
Each program draws on Lucie’s 40 years of expertise, as well as her training in Positive Intelligence® Mental Fitness, developed by Shirzad Chamine at Stanford.
This approach is part of a dynamic worldwide community of coaches, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, engineers and leaders committed to serving others.

WHICH PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Choose in 60 seconds
If you’re still hesitating, here are 3 concrete scenarios to help you choose. There are no wrong answers — only the right starting point.
01
Choose individual
1:1 coaching if...
- You’re going through a major transition (appointment, merger, departure, comeback) and want to navigate it with clarity.
- You’re carrying issues you can’t share with anyone — not family, team or board.
- You want a confidential space and a pace calibrated to yours.
02
Choose the corporate lunch-hour talk if...
- You’re an HR director, executive or association president and want to offer your teams a performance activator.
- You want to test a short format before a deeper engagement (workshops, manager coaching).
- You’re preparing for a post-vacation return, a kick-off or a recognition event.
03
Choose the intensive group program if...
- You’re ready to invest 8 weeks in lasting change — and you value peer dynamics.
- You want to build a network of women leaders who truly understand you.
- You need a structured rhythm, with a cohort that moves forward together.

Detailed comparison table
Compare the 3 programs at a glance.
Here’s the overview. If a single criterion already points you clearly in one direction, it’s probably the right starting point.
AT PERFORMANCE LUCIDE™
The method shared by all 3 coaching formats
The PQ® Program of Positive Intelligence® (Shirzad Chamine, New York Times best-selling author) is a mental fitness training program used as is. Lucie adds her field experience through her Performance Lucide™ coaching.
“Like a muscle, the brain gets stronger through repetition — not willpower. The PQ® Program of Positive Intelligence® (Shirzad Chamine, New York Times best-selling author), used as is, trains three specific components. Lucie adds her field experience through her Performance Lucide™ coaching.”
Component 1
Spotting the Saboteurs
We identify the automatic reflexes that sabotage your performance (perfectionist, avoider, hyper-rational, hyper-vigilant, etc.). We name them. We understand their positive intention. And above all: we neutralize them through training, not willpower.
Component 2
Self-mastery through daily Mental Fitness
Transformation doesn’t rest on motivation, but on short training anchored in your day. Brief sensory practices — the PQ® Reps, sometimes just 10 seconds — calm the brain regions associated with the Saboteurs and activate those associated with the Sage. That’s what lets you choose your response instead of simply enduring it.
Component 3
Activating the Sage
The 5 powers of the Sage — Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, Activate — also develop like a muscle. They are what produce calm, creativity and discernment under pressure.
“We don’t change through willpower. We change because we’ve trained the right circuit enough times for it to become the preferred reflex.”
— Lucie Montpetit

ABOUT LUCIE (MINI-BIO)
The woman behind the approach
My name is Lucie Montpetit. During my 35 years in functional rehabilitation, many professional women, executives, physicians and entrepreneurs who were carrying too much came to consult me. It’s with them that my approach was born, in the early 2000s. I’ve been refining it ever since, integrating 40 years of martial arts and Qi Gong practice and, at the heart of my current work, my PQ Coach™ training in Positive Intelligence®.
5 reasons to choose Performance Lucide™
Why Performance Lucide™
01
40 years of observation
Supporting people since 1986 sharpens my eye from the very first session and widens the path we can travel together.
02
An approach grounded in science
The Performance Lucide™ approach I developed rests on the same scientific foundations as the PQ® Program of Positive Intelligence®: neuroscience, behavioral science and the science of human performance. Depending on your needs, I use the PQ® Program as is, my own tools, such as the 3 Rs (recognize, replace, repeat), or both together, in individual coaching, in a group or to tackle a specific challenge.
03
Demanding out of respect
“I name what matters, respectfully and without detours, even when it isn’t what people want to hear. That’s what my clients keep coming back to me for.”
04
A bodily experience, not just a mental one
40 years of internal martial arts and Qi Gong have taught me one thing: you can’t change the mind by staying in the head. This work integrates the somatic dimension — which makes it lasting.
05
Three Positive Intelligence ® formats — one standard of excellence
Whether you choose individual, the talk or the group, you receive the same method, the same rigor, the same Lucie. The format changes. The standard never does.
06
Beyond the three formats
In individual coaching, I can also draw on other tools from the Performance Lucide™ approach, depending on what you need. A single session is also possible to tackle a specific challenge: a negotiation, an important decision, a conflict to defuse.
PROGRAMS FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the programs
Which programs does Lucie Montpetit offer?
Lucie Montpetit offers three complementary coaching formats built on the Positive Intelligence® method: (1) 3-month individual coaching for executives ($2,500 CAD), (2) a 60- to 90-minute corporate lunch-hour talk to activate teams, and (3) an 8-week intensive group program in a small cohort of 4 to 8 participants for women leaders ($1,500 CAD). She also offers, one-on-one, coaching and single sessions based on her Performance Lucide™ approach, which draws on other tools.
Which coaching is right for me if I prefer to work alone, without a group?
If you’re going through a professional transition, a delicate situation at work, or you simply prefer to move at your own pace, individual coaching is designed for you. It’s the most confidential format, fully tailored to your needs. For a specific challenge, a single session is also possible. The free 40-minute discovery session lets you confirm it’s the right starting point.
Are the programs in French or English?
All programs are offered in both French and English. The Positive Intelligence® app is available in English only.
How much do the programs cost?
- Individual coaching: $2,500 CAD for 3 months
- Group program, open cohort: $1,500 CAD per participant
- In-house (lunch-hour talk or internal cohort): custom pricing
Is there a guarantee or refund policy?
Yes. If, after the first 3 sessions, individual or group, the coaching isn’t a good fit, just let Lucie know before the 4th session. The remaining sessions are refunded; only costs already incurred are retained. Detailed terms are provided at registration.
How long before I see results?
The first breakthroughs come within the first few sessions — often a new clarity about an issue or a relationship. More lasting transformations (a new mental reflex under pressure) generally settle in by the end of the core program. These results depend directly on training: without daily practice between sessions, progress remains limited. In situations of extreme stress, early results are often more fragile — it’s by continuing the training that the new reflex becomes reliable, even under heavy pressure. A bit like the piano: as long as a mistake isn’t properly corrected through repetition, it tends to come back.
Is Lucie Montpetit a psychotherapist?
No. Lucie is a human performance expert and a coach trained in Positive Intelligence®. Her work is neither psychotherapy follow-up nor medical treatment. If a client presents mental health issues, Lucie refers her to an appropriate health professional: it’s a matter of professional ethics.
Can the programs be paid for by my company?
Yes. For individual coaching and the intensive group program, many clients have their organization fund the program (continuing education, leadership development, HR budget). Lucie provides a detailed invoice and, on request, a description of the content for the internal file. The corporate lunch-hour talk is, by nature, billed to the organization.
How does the free discovery session work?
A 40-minute meeting by video conference (Teams). Together we clarify your current situation, what brings you here, and which program fits. No commitment at the end. If you want to go further, we plan the next steps; otherwise, you leave with a clear reading of your situation — which is already a lot.
What’s the difference from an executive coach?
Executive coaching works mainly on skills and behaviors (communication, strategy, decision-making). The Performance Lucide™ approach and the Positive Intelligence® program work upstream, on the mental automatisms that produce those behaviors. That’s what allows change that lasts over time. The two approaches can, in fact, complement each other.
Can I switch programs along the way?
Yes. Some clients start with the lunch-hour talk (a spark within the company), then move on to individual coaching or join the group program to benefit from longer-term training and the support of Lucie and/or the group. The sequencing is discussed during the discovery session.
Where is Lucie Montpetit based?
Lucie is based in Quebec, in the Laurentians. All individual and group programs take place by video conference, which makes it possible to coach clients anywhere in Quebec, Canada and internationally. Corporate lunch-hour talks are held in person on site in Greater Montreal and the Laurentians, or virtually as needed.
The right program isn’t the one you choose. It’s the one that chooses you.
If you’re still reading — part of you has already decided. The rest becomes clear in 40 minutes.
- A 40-minute meeting by video conference.
- No commitment, no sales pressure.
- You leave with a clear reading of your situation — whatever comes next.
