A Purpose-Driven Leader

Chantal Brine is a thought leader on living with purpose.  She follows a simple yet powerful mantra while pursuing what makes her happy: “Life is too short to do something that you are not passionate about.” 

Chantal’s interest in the psychology behind human interaction is what brought her to Saint Mary’s University from Bermuda, where she focused on Psychology and Human Resources. Following graduation, she made Nova Scotia her home and began supporting leaders- including female business owners- in the private and public sector as a Consultant. This work led to her role with North American technology company, Unique Solutions Design Ltd., where she led the development and execution of their human capital strategy.  

 

In 2018, Chantal Brine founded her own start-up En Point, with a goal of helping 1,000,000 individuals through the power of mentorship. En Point helps organizations create and maintain high-impact mentorship programs with consultations and through their online mentorship platform. 

 

 

 

Builder of People and Businesses

Chantal is a builder- of people and businesses.  In particular, she is passionate about building and working with young professionals and women. She thrives on helping business leaders and entrepreneurs grow their business.  At the heart of her work is the belief that when people can connect their purpose and passion to making a living, they are more productive, motivated community members and leaders.

She has spoken at many engagements with TedX, the PIE Live, Canadian Bureau of International Education, Women in Communications & Technology, Volta, The Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada , Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers, Colleges and Institutes Canada, Volta, Junior Achievement, Techsploration, and various universities and colleges across Atlantic Canada.
