About
My Story
I’m Chantal, a Canadian-born human‑resources aficionado. My background spans the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, and every step has deepened my curiosity about how work shapes who we are—and vice versa. My blog, Take It Personel‑ly, exists to explore that connection: from leadership and employee engagement to work‑life balance, social media, and the tech tools we use to juggle it all.
What Drives Me
A lifelong learner with a voracious appetite for fresh ideas and science fiction, I’m a self‑confessed geek—equally excited by the latest gadget, a Firefly rerun, or a deep dive into workplace psychology. Whether it’s rekindling your career spark or helping you craft a healthier relationship with tech, I write with one goal in mind: to empower you to succeed on your own terms.
Offline, I’m…
Outdoorsy. Motorsports‑obsessed (especially F1). Always chasing fresh air, new trails, and moments that help unplug the noise and reconnect with what matters. That spark of clarity I find in nature? I try to bring it to every article, every talk, every conversation.
Why Take It Personel‑ly?
This isn’t your average HR or leadership blog. It’s a space where professional insights are delivered with personality and humanity. Whether I’m covering smart business tools, ways to energize productivity, or strategies to foster engagement, the goal is the same: actionable, human-centered wisdom to help you thrive.
