Take a picture
Photography is the very expression of a moment frozen in time. As a Coach, it is necessary to live in the present here and now. Nothing like taking a picture of this unique and irreplaceable moment and freezing for eternity our emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations. I see it as a metaphor for what is desirable in order to experience reality and gain wisdom.
Photography allows you to look at yourself differently, without filters, by letting emotions emerge in order to identify them, accept them, free yourself from them and reclaim your body and image.
We take a picture to extend the happiness of an ephemeral moment. Coaching will reveal these unique moments and will allow the creation of powerful emotional anchors.
Potatoes fight for their survival
Dealing with challenges does not only depend on our ability to overcome difficulties through special intelligence or specific skills. An irresistible force pushes us to move forward and do the work, regardless of resistance. Who has never seen potato sprouts growing in the bag stored at home? These potatoes have not been replanted or cultivated and yet, without being in the most favorable conditions, they continue to fight for their survival.
This vital momentum allows us to live in the present moment and channel our energy to the task at hand.
What do we really want? What drives us to move forward and develop our potential despite the circumstances?
It would seem that reason is at the service of this impulse. Reason is at the service of life, but it is not life itself.
In fact, it is a latent ability to understand oneself. It is an innate tendency to develop all our potentialities and to find there a source of plenitude and satisfaction. We are in a permanent process of change in search of coherence. Momentum is the impulse that generates these efforts.
Each person knows intuitively what to do. It’s up to you to discover these resources, these multiple anchorages. Your coach will reveal them with some clarity. The professionals of coaching are support to restore order in your thoughts and emotions.
Each is destined to manifest itself in a different way according to your nature and your own conditions. So let’s not try to compare yourself ro others but rather let’s pay attention to what springs up in us at any moment.
It is the life force that builds confidence in us. A force sometimes forgotten or repressed. A force that is diluted by the external conditioning and paradigms of our society. Let’s get up and create.
Unleash Your Life Force!
Life Force, also called vital energy, vitality or self-healing force is present in other terms in many cultures (in China we speak of “Chi”, In India “Prâna” (breath) etc). When a person or a team suffers from low energy, the first thing to do is to “revitalize”. Genial ardor is found in all natures in a latent state, and will emerge in contact with others and with society.
We are capable to be charismatic and charisma reflects an energy that revitalizes. Coaching sometimes requires moving to this higher energy stage to help the other in connecting with his Flow. In order for the coachee to jump forward and to let go, it is sometimes necessary to break the rope and create these energetic conditions. Circumstances will not determine our vitality. This vitality will emerge from our conscious mind able to regulate, protect and restore its own internal energy.

Observe our children, we may find systemic analogies with what happens in our business world. Paying attention to emotions and interactions with others is a vital task. In our hyper-digitalized world, the part of the teacher or the parent has become essential to create healthy and effective relationships. We must take advantage of any opportunity to listen and encourage collaborative practices. The pressure of the outside world forces us to know how to better manage our emotions. This requires a thoughtful, quality connection. Teaching is focused on the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Coaching is focused on refining and developing knowledge and skills.
Coaching and its NLP models are opportunities to build conscious and empathetic relationships. It contributes to the construction of a better future where humans will be able to manage technology and whose consciousness will tend to express itself at a higher level.

Coaching culture are not limited to the business world but may impact our schools, our comunities, our families too.

Bodily Sensations
