Clinical Director | Clinical and Counselling Psychologist | Registered Psychotherapist | Certified Mental Performance Consultant
Dr. Renee Raymond brings a powerful and highly relevant perspective to the conversation around robbery, stress, and emotional resilience in the jewellery industry.

As a Clinical and Counselling Psychologist, she specializes in supporting individuals who operate under constant pressure, high stakes, and performance-driven environments. Her work spans elite athletes, professional performers, and high-functioning teams—individuals who, much like jewellers today, must remain focused, composed, and effective in the face of ongoing stress and uncertainty.

Dr. Raymond serves as the Mental Health and Performance Lead for Inter Toronto FC in the Canadian Premier League and supports athletes through the Canadian Olympic Committee’s Game Plan program, as well as professionals across organizations such as the NBA, CFL, and Women’s Super League. Her experience includes working with Olympic and national-level athletes, coaches, and organizations to build resilient, high-trust, and high-performance environments.

What makes Dr. Raymond uniquely suited to this seminar is her deep expertise in:
* Managing pre-event stress and anticipatory anxiety * Training individuals and teams to perform under heightened threat awareness * Supporting recovery after traumatic or high-impact events * Building psychological safety and leadership stability within organizations

These are the same psychological dynamics now affecting jewellery retailers across Canada. Her approach goes beyond theory. She works at the intersection of mental health, performance psychology, and real-world pressure, helping individuals maintain clarity, confidence, and control when it matters most. In an industry where robbery has become an ever-present concern—not only physically but emotionally—Dr. Raymond’s insights will help jewellers understand how to prepare their teams without creating fear, respond with stability under pressure, and recover with strength after impact.

This is not just a seminar about risk.
 It is a session about human resilience in a high-risk environment—and how strong leadership can shape how teams think, feel, and perform through it.
