Once, a client compared me to a "country doctor" : "you create a humanized and humanizing relation", he said.
This comparison touched me because I associate it with many of the qualities which mean a lot to me: pragmatism, listening, closeness, loyalty, responsibility, commitment with my clients… As for the humanity, it does not belong to me to judge it, but indeed, I aspire to and I train for it.
The side “any grounds” and “any weather” of a country doctor also speaks to me a lot : I find very interesting not to spend all my time at the “summits” of organizations and to have to handle a wide variety of stakes in various contexts. I work as well with an executive committee as with a team of operational management, in the cement as in the lace industry, the energy, the hotel business, the bank or the e-commerce, with various cultures, and as it is a question of learning to work better together in relatively serene context or to gather a big project team in a stormy climate ” to empty suitcases ” and to restart a good foot.
My professional approach is built first and foremost on my initial multidisciplinary training as a psychotherapist. Then, for about 30 years as a management consultant and coach, I have been trained and certified in multiple approaches, methods and tools. I don’t put them forward any more than that: in general, this is not what interests my clients, at least not in the first place.
It’s all about people and relationships.
With time and especially the diversity of situations I have lived through, I have developed an attention and a great affection for the positive forces of adaptation, evolution, even transformation or reinvention that exist in each of us and within our collectives to succeed in what we undertake.
I like to share this vision with my clients and work together with them to create the best conditions for its fulfillment.
