Arnel (A.J.) Javier is the founder and General Director of Culture and Language Connections (CL Connections), a thriving language school in Montreal. He created the school “not to create wealth - but to create meaning. I wanted to make a difference in the world... but on a local scale.” In operation since April 2010, the school already has a vibrant and rapidly growing community of staff and students.

ManLi Que is a young business graduate, currently working in fundraising, and is passionate about sustainability, spirituality, nature and arts. At a very young age, she learned that there was much more to life than following the conventional path created by our society. Life is a journey to be discovered and lived fully based on our true values. She sees the world as a place filled with life, love and beauty; and she tries to capture those in images. 
Excited to be involved with Thrivability Montreal, she manages this website and helps to plan the conversation series.
