“As a licensed psychologist and executive coach, TEDx isn’t a career milestone— To me, it's about more- it's about living out my why and building legacy- my mission is to build healthier, more impactful leaders, workplaces and homes through super pragmatic coaching, trainings and talks that bridge theory with practice”
— Dr Renee St Jacques

“I dream of a healthier future where we don’t just push the world-changing missions of our organizations…But with the unprecedented and accelerated pace to results through non-human means, we have to anchor those achievements in what is uniquely human, not replacing but retaining connection as the cornerstone and launching pad to our progress.
I believe we can raise the emotional intelligence of entire workplaces to make them as kind as they are effective, driving success that is both measurable and meaningful.”
-Dr Renee St Jacques, TEDx Fiesole 2025
