I began my career as a professor of philosophy. Soon, I saw that teaching philosophy was, and is still, a hard and challenging task! I tried to motivate students to learn philosophy and I developed a teaching method based on individual and group projects. Two years into teaching philosophy, I created two different Centers for Teaching and Learning. Then, I went to the Ministry of Education of the Province of Québec as a specialist in teaching through innovation. From there, I worked as a consultant in teaching practice in the Faculty Development Center of the University of Montréal, for 6 years.
After that, as a faculty member, for almost twenty years, at the University of Québec in distance education, I developed several educational programs, mainly for teacher education. All these years in teaching, planning, and counselling helped me to develop an expertise in different theories of education. I took an early retirement from the university in 2000.
Since 1970, I have written many articles and books on education, organizational theories, theories of communication, and philosophy of life. Recent books include Contemporary Theories and Practice in Education, The Ordinary Hero, Nowhere Else, Le jardin intérieur.
