Carl's Story

As an organizational psychologist with over 35 years of experience, Carl Lemieux has both practical experience as a senior leader in organizations and as a management consultant across various sectors specializing in strategy, transformation and leadership development.

Throughout his career, he experienced his own wellbeing challenges and observed widespread stress and burnout in organizations—challenges often not voiced due to the pressures of demanding corporate cultures. He observed how senior leaders were being pulled into short term firefighting, as the pace of the workplace keeps getting increasingly turbulent, diluting the full potential of a well managed mind, where knowledge is increasingly commoditized and mind awareness and expansion now becoming a competitive advantage.

Carl’s perspective shifted when he discovered the role of higher levels of consciousness, evidence-based psychological tools like Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness and other deeper psychological modalities that heighten self-awareness, self-leadership and higher performance levels. These practices profoundly influenced his own life, enabling him to manage stress more effectively and make decisions aligned with his core values. Recognizing the transformative potential of these tools, Carl became committed to reshaping workplace cultures around consciousness.

Following the acquisition and then spin-off of Mindspace Wellbeing, a mental health company co-owned by Carl, Carl founded Mindsmatter, an organization dedicated to integrating higher levels of consciousness, mindfulness and other psychological principles into strategy, transformation and leadership development in the service of sustainable organizational performance.

Jackie's Story

Jackie Roberge Mindsmatter

Jackie Roberge is a senior facilitator, coach and partner at Mindsmatter. After 15 years in corporate marketing and consulting, Jackie sought to make a more meaningful impact and feel more passion and fulfillment.

One of Jackie’s passions developed after she started meditating. She took the Transcendental Meditation course 30 years ago and started a meditation practice twice a day. Seeing tangible results almost overnight, she then pursued studies in yoga and mindfulness and became a certified instructor. Wanting to amplify her impact, support others and share her passions, she became a certified purpose coach.

Through her coaching, she discovered that most people do not consciously reflect on the impact or contribution they want to make and how to find the time and energy to focus on it. Leaders often get swept away by corporate objectives and agendas and lose sight of their own north star.

Today, Jackie serves as a leadership and purpose coach and helps people and organizations thrive using a whole-person, mindfulness and values-based approach.
