About

From Challenge to Change

Life's challenges can be overwhelming and often, we forget that there are solutions all around us. You always have two options: stay the course or change directions. Many years ago, I decided to change, restructure and redesign my work-life and my mindset. Now, I work with individuals, professionals and management in a variety of workplaces who want to do the same.

Solution-Focused Outcomes

I understand the unique challenges faced by those who are involved in the justice system (clients, lawyers, paralegals and judges). When you work with me, I help you identify what you want and how you might get it. This is an important step in designing a proper plan forward with specific action items that will be key components to achieving your desired outcome. Whether you are an individual, a professional or management in a workplace, I will work with you in developing ways to redirect your or your organization's thoughts from challenges (negative) to solutions (positive).

Get Started

I believe that you should put just as much time and effort into your transition (family, career and/or workplace) as you would with any other important life choice. Remember that it takes time and patience to transition into a new phase of one's family and/or professional life and everyone navigates this process at their own pace. Let's figure out the next step in your journey together.

Our Team

Vicky M. Ringuette

I am a bilingual Lawyer, Mediator and Coach in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I was born and raised in a small Francophone town in New Brunswick and have made Ontario my home since 1998. I graduated from the University of Ottawa: B.A. Arts - Communications in 2001 and LL.B. - Common Law in French in 2004. My law practice focuses on niche areas of Family Law such as Adoption and Fertility and Surrogacy. My dispute resolution practice focuses on Family Mediation (FDRP-Med), Arbitration and International Cross-Border Family Mediation (Hague Convention). My coaching practice focuses on assisting legal professionals design their practice and career as they transition towards change. I am able to assist them through my training in Solution-Focused coaching from Erickson Coaching International. I am also trained in workplace investigations through Rubin Thomlinson LLP where I assist employers in conducting workplace investigations and report writing. Lastly, I am proud to be a Sales Representative at Royal LePage State Realty where I can be of assistance to those with real estate needs.

I find my joy in helping individuals, professionals and workplaces find solutions to the challenges they and their teams face. I also love teaching conflict-resolution skills and techniques because I understand the importance of good communication and its impact on outcomes.

I could go on about all the committees I sit on and all the experience I have doing this type of work but I'd rather not because it's about you, not me. If you are looking for more information about me, I would invite you to visit my Linkedin page or ask me for my resumé.

Il me ferait plaisir de vous offrir des services en français.
