What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am the founder of Denise Belisle in Motion Coaching. I am a serenity expert and positive intelligence specialist. I work with professionals in their 50s who feel like they are on the hamster wheel of the new normal. I do empower them to bring back the SPARK ✨ in their lives and unleash their capacity to solve their own problems no matter how big their problems may be. I will work with my brave clients and design a personalized plan that will help them become more focused and in control of their lives without unnecessary frustration and exhaustion.
My clients are often looking for a professional coach to help them identify the forces and factors that are holding them back from reaching their goals in their personal life, business, and finances. I have great passion and a willingness to go the extra mile to help my courageous clients find the success they deserve.
Tell us about yourself
I am originally from Montreal, QC, and have now lived in Vancouver, BC, for the last 26 years. I started meditating in my late teenage years. My favorite books to read are about mindset, health, and wellness. I have always been intrigued by health and wellness. As a teenager, I vow to never grow old. I was, and still am, looking for ways to stay positive and have a healthy mind and body. I have been learning from different mentors who specialize in longevity and also how our mindset can help us stay healthy and young. After being a bodywork (massage) therapist for 12 years, I decided to start helping people while coaching as well. I became a health and wellness coach. Then I got certified as a functional medicine coach. This is where I found my passion, stress. I realized that stress was the foundation of a lot of health problems. I dedicated my life to researching stress and how to alleviate it. This is how I became a serenity expert. Since then, I have studied Quantum physic, and I have been immersed in emotional and positive intelligence.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is to have found my passion. My work is not working. I am so passionate about the work I do that I wake up every morning, and I am thankful for what I do and the people who supported me to get there.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things is that you are your own boss. You have to take responsibility for being successful. You can work when you want, and if you don't work, you don't get paid. By being disciplined and perseverant, any business person can succeed.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Stay the course. When you don't give up, you are bound to succeed.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. There are coaches and mentors who are ready to help you when you get stuck.
- Stay positive and keep an attitude of gratitude.
