Why am I not getting where I want to be?

Many people tell us this when they come for their initial workshop session. They may have an idea for their life path, new career or startup project, but they do not have a clear vision and can’t achieve any tangible results. They are lacking the confidence to find the right path to reach their life goal. For lots of people this motivation is missing from their life, whether at work or personally. This person could be a parent, entrepreneur, freelancer or anyone at a personal or career life crossroads.

So if you are interested in getting your life roadmap (and possibly business project or career) to a place of success, you not only need a vision but also excitement and deep motivation.

Clarify your life vision for a more successful future!

What you will learn:

• To assess your current state of mind and level of achievement
• Understand the factors contributing to your current situation
• Mindfulness at home and at work
• How to trust your intuition
• Create a clear vision and empowered mindset, enabling you to redesign your life with increased balance, fulfillment and a sense of control.

Your take-away:

• Leave with a concrete blueprint of your plans to achieve clearly defined goals.
• Leave with a greater sense of balance in life and work.
• Leave feeling more centered, rejuvenated, and engaged with your life and/or work/business project.

Program

Friday night: Pick-up from Nice International Airport (NCE) & check-in at private residence with heated swimming pool. Light supper and introductions.

Saturday: Honest Self-Assessment (Make peace with yourself)

The goal of the first day is to relax, get in the mindset, and ground yourself. 1st meditation and yoga session.

You will then make a frank assessment of your current situation, potential, skills, strengths, weaknesses, and inner passions.
You will rebuild your self-esteem and learn to reconnect with your intuition.
You will get an overview of the toolbox you will create during the days ahead.

Sunday: Clarify your vision and Plan your storyboard (Stretch, make your dreams bigger and get motivated)
You will shape your dream and tailor your goals.
You will project yourself beyond who you are today.
You will clarify your goals, embrace your dreams, and learn how to achieve them using critical thinking.

Once your vision and plan have been clarified and set in focus, we will define together the precise path to get from where you are to where you want to be. You will also identify within your environment all the necessary resources (such as peers, important milestones, additional skills) to help support your vision and ensure that you stay the course.

Closing Session:
At the end of this 2-Day retreat, you will have a concise physical storyboard for your personal life. Your mind will finally be free to achieve your vision and you will be empowered to propel yourself forward.

Testimonials

- CEO – Int’l Financial Institution, Tokyo – Japan: Eric is an exceptional coach and individual. From my first encounter with Eric, he immediately added value to my business and to my life in general. I would highly recommend Eric’s coaching sessions to anyone looking to get fast and better results.

- Kanako Iwase, Social Entrepreneur, CEO of Arusha, Tokyo – Japan: "I have met Eric Vidal when he started to learn Japanese at our school in November 2014. I have created Arusha 7 years ago as a Social Enterprise to help political and war refugees settle in Japan, providing them assistance with their paperwork, teaching them Japanese language, and training the ones interested in manicure and pedicure treatments so they could generate an income within a few months.
This enterprise has been my life for the last few years as I am really passionate about what I do, helping the neediest people in our affluent society.
However after discussing with Eric, I realized that I was missing out on a more social and personal aspect of my life. Eric has coached me to adjust my priorities to find a better balance within my 4 circles of life. I am starting to feel happier, and I just keep working at it. I can only recommend Eric’s ability to empathize and help people find their own serenity. He is very nice, funny and gentle.”

- Sr. HR Executive at a top American Consulting Firm, Tokyo – Japan: “… Thanks to iCube-Thrive’s coaching sessions I have been able to clarify my life choices and draw a better, clearer roadmap for my future already helps me a lot to feel more serene, and consequently happier with my current Life … I have recently found the courage to switch to a more exciting job”.

- R. Da Silva, Startup Advisor & Writer, Fulbright Fellow, New York – USA:
“Eric Vidal is sharp and insightful, and has given me lots of help with mentoring and coaching, figuring out how to prioritize life areas and balance between different projects.

- IT Director at a leading American Tech Firm, Tokyo – Japan:
“I often thought I had been quite successful so far at leading my life with a beautiful and loving wife, 2 great kids, and since last year a new very promising senior position at … …. but I also realized that something was missing to feel totally fulfilled. iCube-Thrive has helped me get a clearer vision of my work and personal life, by motivating me to draw from my past experiences, my inner passions and to define a better road map for the future I envision one day as a real estate investor in Hawaii.”


- CEO at a leading digital agency based in NYC:
“I met Thierry de Tourniel at the Club des Entrepreneurs in London and Thierry taught me about the benefits of NLP Training. I had been very successful early on in my career back in Europe, then in SE-Asia and finally in NYC where I had co-funded and led a fast growing integrated marketing agency. But in recent years I had felt the need to refocus my life on projects I really cared about, and to fight some kind of procrastination, preventing me from completing my most exciting although quite challenging projects. By better visualizing my past stumbling blocks as well as my most successful and happiest moments in life, Thierry has helped me better project myself into the future by crossing-over this procrastination gap. I am feeling enlightened, after regaining power, confidence and self-esteem. I truly recommend Thierry’s NLP training and his friendly, cool approach.”

- Vickie C., Entrepreneur and Marketer based in Vermont, USA: "I met Eric Vidal in a seminar in NYC and right from our first meeting I have that felt his empathy and his seasoned international experience could help me I have run all my different projects and ventures through him and always got a sharp analysis and to the point feedback that were very constructive. Since Eric has also become a trusted friend and he is organizing some retreats in Stowe where I live with my husband. I can whole heartedly recommend any entrepreneur or CEO in the process of launching a new venture or in the middle of a career and life change to seek advice from Eric Vidal as he is himself a well rounded and attentionate coach and a very experienced global entrepreneur.
