Véronique is trained psychologist, councilor and coach.  She has developed the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator into a leadership development tool that has major impacts on any participant of her workshops.  Her workshops are internationally renowned and highly sort after.

There are a plethora of management guides and books in the marketplace, selling the secret to good management, increased productivity and happier staff.  Something more is now needed to engage busy people in this process.

Véronique Boulangier takes management a step further.  Beyond the style of more recent gurus such as Steven R Covey, and Daniel Goleman, Véronique provides tools for personal growth.  These result in a team of highly aware individuals who have the capacity to respond to the vagaries of the market, and whatever else fate throws in their way. 

In these days of uncertainty the skills Véronique passes on are vital to survival and growth.

Over the past four years in Western Australia Véronique has trained 1000 Leaders in the WA Rural leadership program, she has carried out teambuilding workshops in a number of government departments in health and education, and she has illustrated a unique skill in reaching even the most resistant and unwilling individuals.

Véronique’s process comes from 25 years of blending many different psychological frameworks, from her experience in psychotherapy, as well as her experience in workshop facilitation and sports coaching.

Testimonials to her work illustrate this unique ability, but to really understand the magic of Véronique, her expertise with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicators (MBTI), and her understanding of the complexity of the human psyche, Véronique’s approach has to be experienced first hand.

 Special Interests

Véronique’s work interest combines a unique approach to the concept of Personality Types (MBTI), the development of Type across life, the dynamics of the different aspects of Type within the personality and between personalities; the richness of Depth Psychology; the power of System Theory, and the creativity of Narrative Therapy and Art Therapy.

This has lead her to develop programs that engage participants in immediate, practical, personal and interpersonal experiences, interwoven with theory.  It allows all different types to develop at their own rhythm and in their preferred ways of integrating.

Véronique’s interests take this even further, looking into relationships as the key factor in successful leadership. 

She explores this by providing a safe and dynamic process that connects people deeply to themselves to reconnect to the fundamental core of their personality and awakening of a person’s potential and creativity.
