Watier, who has always been discreet about her private life, opens up here like never before, revealing to readers the origins of her personal and professional motivations, and the dualities that shaped her character.

 Through a rich mosaic blending chronicle and narrative, exclusive audio and video excerpts, personal photos and interactive elements, the reader will embark on a journey to discover a great lady of Quebec entrepreneurship.

 To be around Lise Watier is to enter her whirlwind and be swept away by her creativity, always guided by rigorous standards and an ideal of perfection. It's to be captivated, as her friends and family were. Lise Watier always pursued her dream: to prove to Quebecers that they can dream big and conquer the world.

 “Throughout my life, those who didn’t believe in my projects were a motivation for me. I wanted to prove them wrong.” — Lise Watier
