Biography

Guillaume Dulude was born on May 27, 1983, and grew up on the south shore of Montreal, Quebec. Fascinated by swimming from an early age, he became a competitive swimmer and took part in the international competitions in New York, Singapore and Tokyo. At the age of 21, he took part in the Olympic trials for Athens 2004, but failed to qualify for the Olympic Games and gave up his swimming career.

Facing this setback, Guillaume Dulude sets off on an adventure around the world with no money, an experience that would become the subject of his first documentary film, Le Grand Rêve, distributed by Les Grands Explorateurs. This journey allowed Guillaume Dulude to use communication as a survival tool, and led him to discover common elements of human communication across cultures and social contexts. He established communication with the local populations he visited despite the absence of common language or culture, using non-verbal communication based on the method he created, the PSYCOM method, which he would later teach to thousands of people in his workshops.

Returning from his journey across the globe, Guillaume Dulude founds his company PSYCOM and creates his first training courses and workshops in theoretical and applied psychology. Among other things, he teaches the mechanisms of communication that underpin the development of leadership and interpersonal relationships. He begins lecturing in high schools, coaching individuals and working as a communication strategist consultant for companies and businesses.

Guillaume Dulude's travels take him to the remotest corners of the globe, and even to cannibal tribes. His adventures are the subject of his documentary projects such as the documentary “Cannibale : Sang et sortilèges, broadcasted on Canal D, and the documentary serie Tribal, broadcasted on TV5 Monde.

Guillaume Dulude enjoys, paramotoring, archery, hunting and spearfishing. He is a certified PADI scuba diver, a certified field safari guide in South Africa. He holds a motorcycle license, an airplane pilot license, and a helicopter pilot license.

Education

Guillaume Dulude completed a bachelor's degree in communication at the Université du Québec à Montréal from 2003 to 2006, after which he completed a second bachelor's degree in psychology at the same university, from 2006 to 2008. He continued his graduate studies at UQAM the following year, and completed his doctorate in psychology in 2019, after 11 years of study. His doctorate is a dual program: Psy. D (clinical doctorate, individual and organizational clinical psychology), and Ph.D. (research doctorate, specializing in neuropsychology and cognitive processes).

He completes writing his dissertation Exploring non-conscious cognitive processes in obsessive-compulsive disorder in June 2019, presents his dissertation in February 2020, and graduates on September 24, 2020.

Career

During his graduate studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal, Guillaume held a teaching position and taught the course entitled Psychology of Interpersonal Communications.

At the same time, Guillaume Dulude was developping his company PSYCOM, giving lectures and offering personal and business coaching services in Québec. He became a consultant for individuals, athletes, musicians, government departments, police forces, school boards, etc.

With PSYCOM, Guillaume develops and teaches workshops on interpersonal communication and leadership development. His key products are the theoretical courses “Psycom 1-2-3 and Precog, and the Psycom Origine on-field safari workshop in South Africa.

In 2015, Guillaume Dulude presents How to not get eaten by a cannibal at the TEDxMontreal event. This TED Talk recounts his travels to remote regions, which have led him to meet isolated peoples such as the cannibal tribes of Indonesia and the indigenous tribes of Papua New Guinea. Dulude explains how, despite the absence of a common language and culture, he was able to communicate using instinctive non-verbal methods that would become the basis for the documentaries he would make in the years to come.

Guillaume Dulude's Tribal is an 8-episode documentary serie presenting Dulude's visit of 8 of the world's last nomadic tribes in Tanzania, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, Indonesia, Thailand and Gabon. Dulude co-directs and hosts the show with the aim of learning how these tribes survive while preserving their traditional ways of life. The program airs on TV5 Monde in 2021 and earns two nominations at the 35th Gala des prix Gémeaux awards in the categories Best Documentary Series (Society) and Best Photography (Public Affairs, Documentary Series).

In the summer of 2021, Guillaume Dulude co-hosts the radio show Ni noir ni blanc on 98.5FM with Élizabeth Crête.

As of 2017, Guillaume Dulude hosts his own podcast Répète pas ça alongside Quebec humorist Alexandre Bisaillon. He is also a guest on various Canadian and international podcasts.

Guillaume is a frequent guest specialist on TVA's Deux filles le matin. After the end of this show in 2021, Guillaume continues his collaboration with Quebec host Marie-Claude Barrette on the TVA program Marie-Claude.

Guillaume Dulude's book Je suis un chercheur d'or was published in 2020 by Les Éditions de l'Homme and became a bestseller in Quebec, receiving the Coup de Coeur award from the Renaud-Bray bookstore chain. The book is a guide to the mechanisms of communication and human relations. Guillaume explains how to understand, analyze and experience human communication on a scientific and well-founded basis. He explains how the laws and mechanisms governing the functioning of the brain also govern, by extension, human communication. He compares these mechanisms to those structuring the Universe. With this book, Guillaume lays the foundations for "dynamic consciousness", a theory that defines the tools available to everyone to interact in the most constructive way possible, and to access the full potential of their projects and dreams. Listening, building strong and positive relationships, using emotions, creating meaning, accessing human energy: dynamic awareness demands full involvement of the individual. Dulude weaves together the rules that define it with his own experiences as a professional, sportsman and traveler.

In 2023, Guillaume Dulude founded the International Day of Courage and Individual Responsibility. For the occasion, he organized and hosted the first edition of Y Event on October 21, 202 at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal. Some 5,000 people turn up to attend this full-day workshop that teaches psychological strategies for, among other things, overcoming stagnation, making good decisions, moving on to the next chapter of one's life and finding meaning in it. Guillaume Dulude hosts the entire large-scale conference, with Richard Turcotte accompanying him as Master of Ceremonies. With the profits from ticket sales, Guillaume Dulude raises over $100,000, which he donates to three Quebec high schools to encourage young people to pursue their quest for meaning through individual responsibility.
