No, I’m not here to talk about transcendental meditation or esoteric spirituality. There’s no inner guru to seek here. What I want to address is a topic as strategic as it is subtle: our ability to stop letting our reactions, moods, and decisions be dictated by external factors. In my coaching work with executives, I often find that this is one of the most underestimated levers of leadership.
That little inner voice — often unsettling — is actually our intuition. It guides, inspires, and opens unexpected doors, just as it did for Manentiel. The more we listen to it, the stronger it becomes. And you ? Can you hear it?
Introducing ourselves shouldn’t be limited to a title or a role. What truly leaves an impression is our energy, our passion — what makes us come alive. What if we worked together to uncover what makes you unique?
Even in winter, nature quietly prepares for its renewal. Like gardeners, we all carry seeds within us—waiting to be nurtured, ready to grow. Each day is a chance to plant, to grow, and to blossom. And you? Are you ready to create your own inner garden?
Getting through an inner storm isn’t about strength — it’s about clarity, learning, and letting go. To regain control, I’ve learned to listen to my three compasses: the mind, the emotions, and the body.
That childhood game where we picked an animal often reveals deep aspects of our personality and growth. Through the symbols they carry, these choices can guide us in our personal and professional transformation. A simple exercise that becomes a powerful leadership tool — uncovering talents and highlighting complementarity within a team.
What if Auntie Danielle became — just for a few hours — an unexpected mentor for boosting self-esteem? Remember that iconic scene where Tatie Danielle, in her nightgown, walks out of her room and crashes the dinner party thrown by her niece?
Have you ever been moved by a leader who reminded you of what truly matters? Sometimes, inspiration comes from unexpected places — like a singer who, in just a few words, embodied authenticity, the power of intention, and the beauty of complementarity. His reflections on vulnerability, childhood dreams, and the diversity of his group offered me a powerful lesson in leadership.
