Sylvie Fréchette: Lunch Keynote: Dare to excel
This athlete and accomplished businesswoman realized great personal and professional achievements thanks to clear objectives and extraordinary tenacity in spite of some difficult tests in life that she had to surmount: the death of her grandfather and the suicide of her fiancé just before competing in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. In 1986, Sylvie Fréchette won the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. Five years later she achieved seven perfect marks of 10 in the World Aquatic championship in Australia, which crowned her world champion with a new world record. From 1988 to 1992, she classified first, always in solo, in all the international competitions in which she participated. Sylvie has received numerous prizes and honours. She obtained a University diploma in physical education from the University of Montreal and, in 1993, she published her autobiography entitled Sylvie Fréchette: “sans fausse note”, translated into English under the title, “Gold at Last”. Among numerous projects, Sylvie was spokeswoman for the National Bank and worked in Las Vegas with “Cirque du Soleil” as a participant, choreographer, and trainer for “O”. Today, strong from her personal and professional experiences, she motivates people to face challenges in life by encouraging them to never give up in order to reach their objectives. Athlete and businesswoman Sylvie Fréchette is a speaker who leaves no one indifferent!
