Individuals looking to move into leadership roles may need to strengthen their communication, decision-making and team management skills. Business expertise, while reassuring, is not everything!

Management is a profession in its own right, requiring very specific interpersonal excellence.

Challenges in relationships with colleagues, line managers or team members can affect well-being at work and generate misunderstandings, frustration or even conflict.

The key is to move beyond a disagreement between two people and get back to the team’s objectives, the company’s vision, and above all to create a framework of essential respect for everyone!

When faced with periods of organisational change, employees find themselves having to adapt, manage the stress associated with change and develop new skills in order to succeed.

Employees often struggle to understand the vision of the new organisation, and what they stand to gain from changing their working habits, especially when these have proved their worth in the past.

Whether it’s the rapid increase in production rates, the pressure to produce ever faster or the need to question one’s working methods, some employees can suffer from isolation or simply feel that they are not up to the job.

A lack of self-confidence or self-esteem can hamper their ability to take the initiative or assume responsibility.

One of the foundations of my approach is the creation of a solid relationship of trust with the person I’m coaching. This relationship is the foundation on which the entire coaching process rests, as it fosters openness, transparency and collaboration. I welcome you into a neutral, non-judgmental space, where you can explore your thoughts and emotions in complete freedom.

The art of coaching lies in the quality of listening, in recognising and reformulating what the person expresses verbally, but also in understanding what lies behind their words. Asking thoughtful, relevant questions is an essential tool for bringing out the person’s real needs and objectives with kindness and empathy, exploring the nuances and subtleties of their thinking.

The use of metaphors and drawing is another important dimension of my approach. Metaphors can be powerful tools for expressing complex ideas or tackling delicate subjects. I use drawing and graphic facilitation to support the thought process, to clarify and link ideas together. These methods bring a creative and refreshing perspective to situations, encouraging reflection and exploration.

Coaching is about bringing out the best in people by highlighting their strengths and skills, boosting their self-confidence and stimulating their potential. This is part of a positive and constructive approach that promotes personal and professional fulfilment. This does not mean, however, that all reframing is pointless! But confrontation goes hand in hand with kindness and an unconditional welcome.

During my sessions, I encourage people to play out professional situations using the principles of forum theatre. This improvisation allows the different points of view to be explored and experienced, and emerging solutions to be tested without risk.

Together, we decipher the issues and motivations of those involved in the situation. In this way, you can step back and find creative solutions to the psychological games and conflictual relationships you are experiencing.

Adopting a different point of view on your personal and professional challenges is quite simply, like clown theatre, seeing them as a playground and playing with them with glee. It means becoming aware of the scenarios in which you often find yourself, and opening yourself up to new, free and innovative perspectives.

At the end of the session, we bring together what we’ve learnt and develop concrete actions to put what we’ve learnt into practice.
