KEYNOTE SPEAKER


Marie-Annick, A Speaker Like No Other!

Marie-Annick specializes in deep alignment and guiding women to reconnect with themselves so clarity emerges, trust deepens, and leadership becomes a natural expression of who they are.

As a personal coach, business advisor, keynote speaker, author, and retired world-class athlete, she brings a rare blend of calm presence, intuitive wisdom, and science-informed understanding to every audience she serves. By integrating timeless human wisdom with modern neuroscience, she helps women navigate uncertainty, quiet the noise, and return to the clarity that already exists within them.  With a voice that is both grounding and inspiring, Marie-Annick creates experiences that invite people back to themselves. When deep alignment is restored, confusion gives way to clarity, fear gives way to trust, and leadership becomes less about striving and more about living in harmony with one's authentic nature.  

Her keynotes are more than presentations. They are immersive experiences that inspire lasting shifts in how people think, lead, and live. Rather than teaching audiences to become someone else, Marie-Annick guides them back to who they have always been.  
She speaks to organizations, conferences, nonprofits, athletic communities, and leadership teams seeking to cultivate wellbeing, resilience, emotional intelligence, authentic leadership, and meaningful human connection in an increasingly AI-driven world.

                      TESTIMONIALS

Last week, I had the pleasure of working with Keri Murphy and her team down in Carlsbad. One of the other ladies who joined  us was Marie-Annick Courtier. This lady is bad a$$ to put it mildly.

She walked us through a simple exercise to help us achieve “presence”  imagine her saying that with the most delicious French accent.

I won’t give away her recipe to two minutes of “presence” but suffice it to say, I found myself RIGHT HERE.  My brain didn’t take more than a millionth of a second and it arrived. And oddly, it stayed. For two minutes. Never in my life have I been able to be in a meditative state, my mind fully quiet until that moment. And at that start line in my mind I was brought back to my younger days before many of the stories the world tells us to believe about our abilities.

I felt the thrill of the adrenaline, which was surprisingly calming. I felt at ease of my breath and could feel the softness of a track, which supported my footing for hundreds of thousands of meters over my lifetime.  I felt capable yet slightly afraid, but it was as a fear that was saying “we’ve got this”.  I could hear the starter’s voice: On your marks. I could feel the granules of the track beneath my fingertips, my shoes braced against the blocks and my body suspended in that electric stillness before the gun.

In that moment, the whole world narrowed to one lane. There was no past to replay, no future to manage and no story about what I could or could not do. There was only breath, body and the absolute knowing that when the sound came, I would move. And then I understood.

Marie-Annick had not simply shown me how to quiet my mind. She had shown me that underneath all the noise, I was still there, the girl who had not yet learned to negotiate with her own capability, who could feel fear without mistaking it for a warning. For those two minutes, I wasn’t remembering her. I was her…and I had presence.
