Monique Mackinnon

Working with Monique

As CEO of Energetic Evolution and licensed Ontario private investigator, I serve premier organizations facing complex leadership challenges and sensitive workplace matters. My work spans high-performance cultures across educational institutions, professional service firms, and elite sports organizations.

With three years conducting misconduct investigations in elite competitive environments, including one of North America's top junior hockey leagues for NCAA Division I development, I bring unique expertise in high-performance organizational dynamics to workplace investigation challenges. I specialize in harassment, discrimination, and abuse allegations, maintaining absolute discretion and professional rigor.

I deliver impactful keynote presentations and leadership development programs on ethical decision-making, organizational resilience, and transforming challenges into competitive advantages. My proprietary "serendipity scanning" methodology helps leaders identify emerging opportunities others miss.

Available for keynote speaking, leadership workshops, and confidential sports and workplace investigations across North America and internationally. I possess a valid B-1 visa for seamless U.S. travel.

Specialized Investigation Sessions

Developed from three years conducting misconduct investigations in elite junior hockey and 15 years of professional speaking experience.

Through investigating misconduct cases in a league with players from across North America, I've identified consistent patterns in how different investigator approaches impact case outcomes. The psychological framework that enhanced my self-awareness and ability to read others also applies to workplace investigation challenges.

Recently named the 'Corporate LiveWire Innovation & Excellence Award 2025 Winner' for ethical leadership and organizational transformation, with judges highlighting my "rare combination of technical rigor and intuitive intelligence" in driving meaningful change across high-performance sectors.

The Department of Justice Canada lawyers found this framework so practical after my keynote at their spring retreat that they continued discussing it for weeks afterward.

"When I first heard Monique MacKinnon deliver a keynote at the Global Innovation Summit 2016 in Dubai on How to Negotiate and Innovate on the Fly in the VUCA World, I couldn't help but listen to her till the end. VUCA stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous and the relevance of the topic couldn't be denied. Monique spoke about negotiation tactics, using psychology as a tool to understand people and their actions. She shared real-life examples to help us relate to a situation and the steps she took to ensure that the person could emerge as envisioned. A wonderful speaker, her story-telling approach simplified the subject and stressed on the importance and application of negotiation and innovation in very practical terms."
