Helping workplaces, communities, and churches grow safer, braver, and more resilient together.
Empowering organizations with tools for safety, connection, and real change.
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve become a respected voice in community safety, leadership training, and trauma-informed practice.
I have been speaking to audiences across Canada (with occasional opportunities in the United States). I would love to work with you as a keynote speaker, breakout session leader, or workshop/retreat facilitator.
I work with adult and youth audiences in a range of settings: corporate conferences and professional development, public or separate school systems, libraries, community organizations, and churches or religious organizations.
I love to do custom work in these areas to suit your needs. Connect with me to discuss speaking on your unique theme or need.

A nod to Mister Rogers, this session is about the power of our perspective and action in the face of feeling small and powerless. By letting go of what we cannot control and embracing what we can, we create powerful connection and change.

In a polarizing world, it is tempting to get locked into rigidity. I share three powerful experiences where life challenged what I thought I knew. We will explore how being open to change can unlock support, understanding, and life-changing action.
“Leah is a dynamic speaker whose sincere theology springs from a place of raw and unfettered love. She understands us and is able to communicate the complexity of what it is to be Christian today in a way that sings of our pain, laughs with our foibles, and soothes our wounded souls. Leah speaks, with integrity and sincerity, from her own profound experience in a way that engages both the heart and the mind. She offers us the opportunity to reflect and then invites us to act. We are better for having invited her to our community.”

What People Are Saying
“Leah Perrault delivered an unforgettable keynote presentation, “Here I am Lord, Send Me,” at the 104th Annual National Convention of The Catholic Women’s League of Canada on August 12, 2024. Her impact on the convention hall was profound, offering inspiration that reached every corner. Leah communicated the need to love amid brokenness, using her own moving life experiences, and touched the hearts of everyone present. She illustrated how God’s powerful hand works within members’ lives, giving tangible examples that brought faith to life for her audience.
One particularly memorable moment was when Leah invited members to reflect on and share their encounters with Jesus. Her heartfelt message, grounded in authenticity, emphasized that members’ worthiness is rooted in God’s invitation, asking, “Whom shall I send?”
Leah’s powerful words reminded members that, while the journey is not always easy or pretty, our deep faith allows us to say “yes.” Her presentation was much more than inspiring—it was spiritually and intellectually stimulating. Her depth of knowledge, energy and humour kept the audience engaged from start to finish. She wove profound insights with real-life examples, making her message relatable and uplifting. Leah concluded her talk with a beautiful acoustic performance and left each attendee with a renewed sense of purpose and devotion.
Comments gathered from members following the event reflect Leah’s impact. She was praised as “a true gift to the church,” and one attendee notably gave her a “100/10” score on her presentation. Her address was described as “animated, humorous, educated,” with attendees asking that she be invited again. Leah Perrault’s witness was exceptional, and the national executive/board is immensely grateful for her inspiring contribution to our gathering.”
