4 main advantages of integrating coaching tools into your daily life

Understand yourself, deeply

Learning coaching tools deepens our understanding of our own thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

This enhanced self-awareness enables us to approach life's challenges with greater serenity, and live a more fulfilled life, more aligned with who we deeply are.
1

Communicating better with those around us

Learning the tools of coaching teaches us the art of active listening and powerful questioning, and helps us develop deeper empathy and greater emotional intelligence.

These skills enable us to nurture better relationships, build deeper connections and create more constructive exchanges, at home and at work.
2

Make an impact on those around us

Learning coaching techniques gives us the power to help those around us to achieve important goals for them, or to face everyday challenges with greater ease.

This new ability to approach problems from different angles and to bring out new, creative solutions in others not only makes us a valuable ally, but also reinforces our role as a catalyst for change in the lives of those around us.
3

Create new business opportunities

Learning the tools of coaching enriches our palette of highly sought-after skills that are transferable to the professional sphere: inspiring and motivating teams or students, managing conflicts between colleagues, better understanding patients.

These skills open up new opportunities for career development.
4
Above-ground coaching
Poorly identified problem
No real strategic sequence

OUR COACHING METHOD IS simply UNIQUE

And has already proved its worth in thousands of accompaniments.

Clarifying the desired result

Target result
We often lack clarity about what we really want to achieve, sometimes even when we're convinced we know what we want. The first step is to achieve total clarity and be as specific as possible.
1

Clarifying the root of the problem

The obstacle
In 100% of situations, the problem we identify is never really the reason for our lack of results or the challenges we face.  In this case, we're looking for the underlying cause of the problem.
2

Cognitive Reframing

A new perspective
This is where the magic of coaching comes into play. Many tools are used to reprogram the cognitive distortions that hinder progress towards the goal.
3

Strategic Action Sessions

Action and peace of mind
Reduce mental noise by clarifying what needs to be done, when and how. The aim is to provide mental fluidity, reducing uncertainty and offering concrete, achievable steps. Guide towards execution with confidence and clarity.
4
Too theoretical
Too boring
Low-impact

OUR pedagogy is also UNIQUE

The micro-learning loop

1. Microlearning theory

Our brains are designed to assimilate small amounts of information at a time.

2. Observation of a model

See the real application of theory by an expert coach in a real, unorchestrated context.

4. Focused Analysis (SAS)

Just like top-level athletes, get inside the head of an expert who dissects real coaching.

3. Focused practice

Contrary to a classic practice, we focus our practice on a micro element of the global protocol.

A unique teaching approach based on Anders Ericsson's research

A researcher at Florida State University, Anders Ericsson has devoted over 30 years of his life to answering one question...

How do you design a training program that allows you to be among the best in record time?

After studying chess champions, athletes, entrepreneurs, violinists, doctors, pilots and teachers in search of an answer, Anders finally put his finger on an ingredient shared by all professions that demand a high level of excellence: focused (deliberate) practice.
anders ericsson

Dozens of hours of coaching on video.

Like top-level athletes, get inside the head of an expert who dissects real-life coaching sessions.

  • Micro-expression
  • Asymmetry
  • Breathing
  • Eye movement
  • Skin tone
  • Hand gestures
  • Lip smacks...

Say more than words. In these sessions, an expert coach analyzes a coaching session and comments on each question, turning the coaching around.

Faster, longer-lasting progress, thanks to the microlearning loop.

With focused practice, there is a steady climb towards excellence, characterized by the creation of solid mental models and the continuous improvement of reflexes. This type of learning actively engages the learner in a process where every detail is scrutinized and perfected, leading to deep-rooted skills and enhanced performance over the long term.
Unlike theoretical learning that stagnates, or ordinary practice that can lead to reduced vigilance and increased errors, focused practice promotes sustained growth and exceptional mastery of skills.

BUT Change isn't just a question of what you do do...

Students dropping out

It's also the strength of an ecosystem
