Marie-Josée Bernard
Professor of Management, Leadership and Personal Development


I am both a Philosopher and a Doctor of Management Sciences and I provide consulting and coaching services to executives, entrepreneurs and management teams. I have dedicated her thesis to the question of entrepreneurial resilience. I am at the origin of the of the reflection on entrepreneurial resilience, and I present an innovative and dynamic model of this approach. I am currently working on the impacts, consequences and possible forms of learning from failure on entrepreneurs and their entourage in a context of business loss.
