What does coaching actually mean?
"Coaching is both a relationship between the two protagonists, and a process which helps a person or a team to become aware of their preferred ways of operating, with the aim of overcoming the situation in which they find themselves. The aim is to boost personal or collective creativity.
Reine-Marie Halbout
What is professional coaching?
Coaching is both a relationship of trust and a structured process promoting awareness. It enables an individual or a team to overcome a blocking situation, boost creativity and open up new perspectives.
The professional coach is a thinking partner who brings a fresh perspective, helps identify obstacles and encourages the emergence of appropriate solutions. Our experience and expertise guarantee human, pragmatic and personalized support.

A company's needs are many and varied, and our coaches have a wealth of experience in providing individual and group support in a wide range of sectors, from finance and legal to distribution and logistics, from industry to consulting and services, in the private and public sectors, and whatever the size of the company (family-run businesses, small businesses, medium-sized companies or large organizations).
Whether you're looking to speed up the process of taking up a new position, improve a relational situation, enhance team efficiency, support the development of a professional sector within an existing structure, or reorganize a branch of activity, we can adapt our expertise to your objectives.

Our support services
Individual coaching
Whether face-to-face or remote, individual coaching is designed for executives, managers, project leaders, experts or employees.
It can be used to address a wide range of issues, such as :
- Réussir taking up a new position or changing responsibilities
- Getting through a difficult period in your professional life
- Giving meaning back to your career
- Finding your bearings in a complex professional transition phase
- Reach ambitious goals and get your team to stick to them
- Affirm its position within the organization
- Get to know your motivations and talents better
- Develop self-confidence
- Manage stress in difficult situations
- Take a step back from a complex situation
In individual coaching, our approach is based on structured steps:
- An introductory interview:
During this initial interview, the coach and the coachee define together the needs, context, expectations and objectives of the support. If mutual agreement is reached, a contract is drawn up. - Tripartite interview :
In the case of coaching financed by a company, a meeting between the coach, the coachee, his/her manager and, if necessary, an HR representative is organized to frame the approach and align the expectations of all stakeholders. - Coaching :
Coaching takes place over a series of sessions (between 4 and 10, depending on objectives), each lasting 2 hours. These sessions enable us to work on the defined objectives, explore blockages and implement concrete solutions. - Fence :
At the end of the coaching session, time is devoted to anchoring what has been learned and the changes made. In the case of in-company coaching, a tripartite review meeting is also organized, during which the coachee presents his or her progress.
Team coaching
In team coaching, we support groups to achieve their objectives while developing their full potential, by improving internal operating procedures. Team coaching is a powerful lever for strengthening collective intelligence and sustainable performance of the group.
Any company wishing to enhance the performance and well-being of its employees can turn to corporate coaching.
Team coaching is designed for management, cross-functional and operational teams.
Examples of topics covered during team coaching:
- Define the mission a team or a project.
- Identify causes of malfunction.
- Strengthen the positioning of a team leader or manager.
- Clarify values shared by the team.
- Identify operating modes collective.
- Specify missions and responsibilities of each member.
- Streamline communication processes.
- Optimize a department's operations and improve collective momentum.
How does team coaching work?
Defining the objective
The first step is to clearly identify the coaching goal, usually in consultation with the team leader.Support planning
The program lasts several months and is structured around coaching workshops. The number of workshops generally varies between 5 and 7, the themes and objectives being co-constructed with the leader and team members.Coach adaptability
We adjust our approach according to the needs and responses of the group, whether for a long-term program or a one-off intervention.
Two possible formats
1/ One-off intervention: a targeted session designed to assess or diagnose the functioning of an organization, department or team. It may include :
- Diagnosis of team functioning.
- A strategy seminar to define vision and mission.
- Team-building or training to strengthen cohesion.
- A thematic workshop focusing on the steps needed to increase maturity and performance.
2/ Intervention over several months: support spread over time, similar to individual coaching, to anchor progress, consolidate learning and support the team's ongoing progress.
Methods and tools
Our accredited and certified coaches use a variety of tools and approaches, adapted to the specific challenges of each individual.
Our main approaches include :
- Systematics Understanding interactions and dynamics within a system (team, organization).

- TKI (Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument) to understand and improve conflict management.
