TEC Canada

Strong leadership isn't about having all the answers...it's about asking better questions.

Thanks to Sean Flaherty for a thoughtful session with John Vincent's TEC Canada group in Montréal. Members explored practical ways to recognize the root causes behind common organizational challenges and left with tools they can bring back to their teams.

Turns out "revving up revenue" doesn't always require a bigger budget. 🚀

Karen Hayward's workshop challenged our members to rethink sales and marketing with practical, easy-to-implement ideas, many of them inexpensive (or even free). The best part? Everyone left with at least one action they can put into practice right away.

That's the difference between hearing great ideas and taking them back to your business.

Celebrating 15 years of leadership, learning, and community! 🎉

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the TEC MBA Elite Program at Université Laval.

To celebrate the milestone, more than 60 alumni gathered in Québec City on July 3, reconnecting with fellow participants from across the program's history. Attendees travelled from across Canada, the United States, and France, while alumni from England, Switzerland, Australia, and beyond joined in celebrating from afar.

Over the past 15 years, many graduates have continued their leadership journey by joining TEC Canada Leadership Teams and peer advisory groups, strengthening our community of leaders.

Congratulations to André Turcotte and everyone who has helped make the program such a lasting success. Here's to the next chapter!

Our recent Atlantic Regional Members' Meeting at Fox Harb'r Resort welcomed business leaders from across Atlantic Canada for two days of meaningful conversations and peer-to-peer learning that lasts long after the event ends.

Whether they've been part of TEC Canada for 20 years or are experiencing their first regional gathering, one thing remains true: the value of trusted peers only grows over time.

A special thank you to TEC Canada Chairs Joe Gillivan and Tanya Chapman for organizing another outstanding event, and to Erik Gingles for capturing these moments.

Congratulations to Alain Ouzilleau on being named Grand Estrien 2026 by the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 🏆

This recognition reflects more than business success, it celebrates a leader whose vision, commitment, and impact have helped strengthen both his organization and his community.

As a member of a TEC Canada group chaired by André Turcotte, Alain exemplifies the kind of values-driven leadership that creates lasting impact.

We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honour. Congratulations, Alain!

Félicitations à Alain Ouzilleau pour sa nomination à titre de Grand Estrien 2026 par la Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Sherbrooke. 🏆

Cette distinction souligne bien plus qu’un parcours entrepreneurial remarquable : elle reconnaît un leader dont la vision, l’engagement et l’impact contribuent au rayonnement de son entreprise et de sa communauté.

Membre d’un groupe TEC Canada animé par André Turcotte, Alain incarne un leadership humain et inspirant qui crée une valeur durable.

Nous sommes fiers de souligner cet honneur pleinement mérité. Félicitations, Alain!

Leadership doesn't always happen around a boardroom table.

Last week, TEC Chair Robert Murray and his KEY Group (5304) took their Executive Session outdoors with a walking issue-processing session along Vancouver's Seawall before spending the afternoon volunteering at Ronald McDonald House.

Together, they prepared, served, and cleaned up 127 meals for families supporting children receiving care at BC Children's Hospital.

A great reminder that leadership is about more than business...it's about community, connection, and giving back 👏
