As a Human Behaviour & Interpersonal Communication Specialist, Lindsay Lapaquette supports people and organizations to free themselves from stressful interactions, through consultations and workshops. Her work in the field of interpersonal communication has been profoundly influenced by her professional background as a former Speech-Language Pathologist, her work with First Nations individuals, who prioritize relationship and connection above all else, and the premature loss of both of her parents, which left her feeling disconnected to herself. Lindsay’s unique, holistic conceptualization of communication is that the more we connect with ourself, the better we are able to connect with others.
