Time is what you make if it

Humans have in common many things but one of them is particularly interesting: the story of our life. Each person, rich or poor, from no matter where on Earth has a story about him or her self. A story about her or his life: from where is coming and where is going, what have learned in life, explanations about what and why different experiences happened. To every experience we attach some meaning.

These stories are based on social learning (interaction with the people around us) but also on our perception, it is our side of the story.

We can meet persons who had everything a person could wish in life but they are said and pessimistic but also persons with most tragic experiences who are full of joy and appreciation for life. How is this possible?

Generally these stories are build on values and beliefs, on things that matters for us and that explains who we are. It is the story of our past, present and probably future. It is a way for us humans to show to ourselves and to the others that our time, our life time, matters...because we do not know how long we still have but we do know it is limited in some way.

We meet people with strong conviction about their purpose in life but also people waiting. While finding purpose in life is personal quest, did you find yours? Or you are still waiting?

What are you waiting for?

What about things we all care: love, happiness or money?

What are you waiting for to bring purpose, clarity and direction to your life?

If you are curios about these questions, I invite you to my presentation on the 21st of January at the monthly meeting of The Network. I will be speaking about time and its influence on our life decisions: money, love and happiness.

You will learn a few tips about how to balance your time perspective in such a way to improve the quality of your life.

Warning: this is not a time management presentation, I will not show you how to do more in less time. Quite the opposite.

ProParents - Family support

(English text down on the page)

Etre parent est un des rôles le plus difficiles d’une vie. C’est un “métier” complèxe pour lequel il n’y a ni manuel d’apprentisage, ni guide de formation, ni recette miracle, règles obligatoires ou standards européens.... De surcroit, une fois devenus parents, nous le resterons toute la vie, indiférramment de ce que la vie nous apporte ou des décisions que nous aurons prises. Mais qu’est-ce qu’il peut être de plus merveilleux que de façonner des êtres humains?

On ne naît pas parent, on le devient... On n’apprend pas à être parent, on le sent.... On le sent profondement et ce sentiment est beaucoup plus important que d’autres sentiments ou désirs. Devenir parent, pour la première fois ou non, est une nouvelle étape de la vie, une nouvelle aventure, un CHANGEMENT en soi. Les sessions de ProParents aident justement les parents à s’investir dans leur nouveau rôle pour pouvoir faire face à tous ces nouveaux changements et bâtir une relation harmonieuse avec leur(s) enfant(s).

ProParents organise des cours de développment personnel, qui s’adressent aux parents, sur des sujets comme les émotions, la communication, l’introspection, les besoins psychologiques, le changement etc. Ces cours vous donnerons des clés pour mieux gérer la vie de famille et celle de parent: comment arriver à garder des moments pour soi, quels changements interviennent dans la vie de couple, la part de vérité et de mythe dans les relations parent-enfant, comment on communique avec les enfants et comment ceux-ci resentent les émotions....

The role of a parent is one of the most difficult but also the most rewarding during lifetime. It is a complex job for which there is no instruction manual nor specific mandatory school, no rules, no compliance, maybe just some good practice from the family. More over, once one become a parent will have this role for life, no matter the life changes or other decisions and situations. But what can be better than having the opportunity of shaping people?

Being a parent nowadays could look easier then for our parents or grandparents. We are sorunded by technology and other services that can make the life of a parent easier. But in fact could be more difficult: being a single parent, or having nobody to help in the first days/months even if in a couple. On top of this children do not come with an instruction book, they are all different and alike in the same time…But most of all becoming a parent for the first time or even for the second or the third is a change and some times even a challenge.

One is not born a parent, it is becoming. One doesn’t learn to be a parent it is a feeling. It is a feeling more powerful then anything before…Becoming a parent for the first time or not it is a CHANGE that will influence oneself, the couple, the life.

I offer customized programmes to parents in order to better adapt to this new role and its context, to create a harmonious relations with their children and life partner.  The programme is tackling subject like emotions, communication, change, introspection, psychological needs and stress etc. I give some tools for your parent role and for the family life: how to take care of yourself, changes in the cople life and how you can cope with them, true and myth concerning parent-child relationship, children emotional development etc.

Business Consultancy & Coaching

Creativity is something we are born with as human beings but also a skill we can train, improve and enhance. There are a multitude of recipes for creativity but some of the main ingredients are: curiosity, courage, passion, discipline, humor, cooperation etc.

Entrepreneurship is considered as a down to earth activity. Some it considers as the opposite to creativity because of its practicality of making profit in the process of serving the needs and expectations of people.

And still without creativity most products and services, therefore businesses, would not exist. Moreover, without courage, risk taking, passion, discipline and inter-dependency - entrepreneurship would not exist at all.  

Same ingredients for two different things that we can link in one word: innovation.

I sustain these three activities with:

- individual coaching sessions (changing mind settings);

- business consultancy (evaluation of business ideas, business plans, corporate identity, communication in business matters (with collaborators, partners, investors, potential clients etc), basic financial issues etc

- group trainings;

- public presentations. 

Most of the programmes I created myself starting from my own experience and knowledge and by being inspired by family, friends, clients, collaborators and other people I admire.

If you want to find a way of being yourself and working on what you like and in the way you want to: I can support you.

I am looking forward to collaborate with creative people which don't take a no for an answer willing to achieve the unachievable…

Professional coaching

Professional coaching is a distinct service that focuses on an individual's life as it relates to goal setting, outcome creation and personal change management.

In other words is a structured conversation in which the coach is partnering with the client in a thought-provoking and creative process. Practically, the coach makes it easier for the client to reflect over his/hers thoughts, wishes and goals and to find his/hers own resources, talents and strengths. It is also helping to identify what is stopping (s)he to find or follow his/hers wishes and have pleasure in living his/hers life.

Coaching typically begins with a personal interview (either face-to-face or by teleconference call) to assess the individual's current opportunities and challenges, define the scope of the relationship, identify priorities for action, and establish specific desired outcomes. Subsequent coaching sessions may be conducted in person or over the telephone, with each session lasting a previously established length of time. Between scheduled coaching sessions, the individual may be asked to complete specific actions that support the achievement of one's personally prioritized goals. The coach may provide additional resources in the form of relevant articles, checklists, assessments, or models, to support the individual's thinking and actions. The duration of the coaching relationship varies depending on the individual's personal needs and preferences (typically between 3 and 10 sessions).

Team Coaching

Humans are wired for cooperation, maybe even more then competitiveness. As a species we evolved and we survived because of our increased capacities of communication and cooperation. This translated into a complex social life, development of language and other systems of communication, living in communities etc.

In a global world working in team and performing in this manner is maybe more important then ever. It is also very challenging in a fast changing environment, in multi-national corporate world when we have to team up with people located in different parts of the world, belonging to different cultures and having diverse background. Team coaching is one tool that can help companies to improve team cooperation, performance, communication etc.

I provide coaching to teams that want to increase their cohesion, cooperation, communication (internal but also external with clients/potential clients) based on practical tools and practice.
