J’ai eu la chance de collaborer avec Michel dans une précédente expérience. Cette courte collaboration m’aura énormément aidé concernant mon développement personnel et la confiance en moi. Il sait trouver les qualités profondes des gens, les leur montrer et les faire progresser sans en avoir l’air avec une bonne humeur constante. Michel est d’un abord facile et un ’Problem Solver’ ; face à n’importe quel obstacle il cherche un nouvel angle d’attaque, une autre façon de faire et il vous emmène avec lui vers sa résolution. Il est à vos côtés pour vous challenger intelligemment et apporter un petit coup de pouce en cas de besoin. Il m’a appris la vraie réalité du mot « disruptif » -en bousculant l’existant- à de nombreuses occasions sur des sujets très stratégiques, façon de faire que j’utilise toujours avec un grand plaisir ! I was lucky enough to work with Michel in a previous experience. This short collaboration helped me enormously with my personal development and self-confidence. He knows how to find people's deepest qualities, show them to them and help them progress without seeming to do so, with a constant good humor. Michel is approachable and a Problem Solver; facing any obstacle he looks for a new angle of attack, another way of doing things, and takes you with him to its resolution. He's at your side, challenging you intelligently and giving you a helping hand when you need it. He taught me the true meaning of the word "disruptive" - shaking things up - on numerous occasions on highly strategic subjects, a way of doing things that I still use with great pleasure!

I had the privilege of working with Michel over the past month, and I cannot express enough how transformative and enriching the experience has been. Michel is not just a coach; he is a mentor, a guide, and a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Environmental approach in coaching is so far, I know exceptional. From our initial session, I was impressed by Michel's ability to create a supportive and non-judgmental space for exploration. His keen insight, coupled with a genuine commitment to understanding my goals and challenges, set the foundation for a coaching relationship that exceeded my expectations. One of the key strengths of Michel is his exceptional communication skills. He has a unique talent for asking thought-provoking questions that encouraged me to reflect deeply on my values, aspirations, and potential roadblocks. This reflective process was instrumental in helping me gain clarity on my objectives and develop a strategic plan for achieving them. I have done it before with other coaches, but with far less deep experience. Throughout our sessions, Michel demonstrated a remarkable ability to tailor his coaching approach to my individual needs. Whether providing constructive feedback, offering valuable resources, or suggesting practical exercises, they consistently delivered insights that were both enlightening and actionable. This personalized approach made the coaching experience not only effective but also enjoyable. What sets Michel apart is his clear commitment to my success. He went above and beyond to provide ongoing support, accountability, and encouragement. Michel not only celebrated my victories but also helped me navigate challenges with resilience and a positive mindset. In summary, Michel is an extraordinary coach who has played an instrumental role in my personal and professional development. I am grateful for the transformative journey we embarked upon together, and I wholeheartedly recommend Michel to anyone seeking a dedicated, insightful, and empowering coaching experience.
