WHAT IS COACHING?
The ICF (International Coaching Federation) defines coaching as follows:
“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Professional Coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The Coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.”
In a safe and open environment, goal and future-oriented, focused on achievable results, the coach helps by listening, observing and asking powerful questions to provoke personal insights so that the client’s goal can be achieved.
The coach will support, assist and reflect the client’s progress during the process, making them measurable.
In coaching, clients are seen as whole, unique and powerful individuals who hold the answers within them.
Coaching is a reputable practice all over the world with, according to ICF statistics, more than 95% level of satisfaction from its clients.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING AND TRANSACTIONAL COACHING?​
Transactional Coaching focuses on your doing.
Transformational Coaching focuses on your being.
The foundation of Transformational Coaching is to focus on who you truly are and who you want to be.
Through conscious questioning, you will get rid of your limitations and of your old paradigms and habits that don't serve you anymore so that you can reconnect with the powerful creator that you are so that you can take the aligned actions that will lead you to who you want to become.
This approach is holistic and therefore has the potential to manifest in all the areas of your life, such as your career and leadership, your relationships, your finances, your health and your spirituality.
​
WHY A PERSONALITY-BASED APPROACH?
Your personality shapes how you think, feel and behave. The MBTI, as well as other personality tools that I use in my coaching practice, help identify your cognitive preferences. These preferences provide a window into your cognition and therefore into your personality.
By using a personality-based approach, your coaching program will be tailored to your unique personality so that you'll be able to transform your relationship with yourself, with others and with reality more accurately and efficiently than with other coaching approaches.
It is the individual's task to differentiate himself from all the others and stand on his own feet. - Carl G. Jung
IS TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING FOR ME?
Transformational Coaching is for you if:
- You are going through life challenges and need help to overcome them
- You want to rebuild yourself after an upheaval
- You want to find a fulfilling career, clarify your life goals or find your life mission
- You want to reach your full potential or be more efficient in your decisions and life choices
- You want to heal your relationships (romantic, professional or family relationships) or build long-lasting ones

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A COACHING SESSION?
This is an active partnership
-
You are the actor
-
What you will put out is what you will get back
In every coaching session, I will deeply listen, reflect back my observations and ask powerful questions, offer feedback with your permission, and provide coaching tools, including educational material adapted to your needs.
This is an experience of co-creation, totally unique, so it all depends on what you will put out.
Our partnership implies having trust in the process as well as taking action steps toward your goals in the time available between our sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A COACHING PROGRAM?
It's all about consistency
​
Each Coaching Session is another step towards achieving your personal goals.
Each Coaching Program includes re-occurring weekly Coaching calls as well as personalized Coaching documents to better support you between sessions.
The documents include educational materials and Coaching exercises to complete between the calls.
We can only move forward if the goals of the session are completed prior to the call.
