For successful women who know something has to change.
You’ve built it all.
A career. A business. A reputation.
A life that, from the outside, looks good.
And yet, something no longer adds up.
You’re tired in a way rest doesn’t fix.
You feel increasingly alone or unsupported with decisions.
You’re competent, capable, respected, but somehow feeling undervalued, disconnected, or unfulfilled.
Not because you’re failing.
But because the way you’re operating is no longer sustainable.
Echelle was curated for women who don’t want another optimisation strategy, but are looking for sustainable realignment.
A Mastermind with a difference .
The concept of the mastermind is not new.
It dates back to the early 20th century, when thinkers and leaders recognised that complex problems cannot be solved alone and that structured dialogue within a trusted group leads to better decisions than individual reflection.
Over time, the term “mastermind” became popularised and often diluted into informal peer groups or high-energy business circles.
Echelle goes back to the original intention.
From “mastermind” to professional co-development
At Echelle, the mastermind is not built on advice-giving or personal opinions.
It is grounded in professional co-development, a methodology formalised by Adrien Payette and Claude Champagne, used for decades in leadership development, executive training, and organisational contexts.
This approach is based on a simple principle:
The group is not there to give answers, but to help each person think better.
Sessions follow a clear structure, with defined roles, timing, and objectives.
The focus is always on real situations, brought by women leaders in the group, and worked through collectively in a rigorous and respectful way.
Why facilitation matters
This is where Echelle differs fundamentally from most masterminds.
Echelle sessions are professionally facilitated by certified facilitators.
That means:
the process is held, not improvised
everyone has space, not just the most confident voices
discussions don’t drift into storytelling or advice-dumping
insight leads to decisions and action, not just relief
The facilitator’s role is not to lead the group, but to protect the quality of thinking.
This creates a space where:
women can be challenged without being judged
clarity emerges without pressure
change becomes sustainable, not reactive
The result
What participants often describe is not a “boost”, a short-lived motivation to tackle an issue, but a real shift.
A different relationship to:
responsibility
pace
value
leadership
This is why Echelle is not about doing more, but about doing what is right, at the right level, for the long term.
All of this with women who understand you, what you are going through and who are committed to supporting you and receiving your support for the entire length of the mastermind.
