DECISION COACHING FOR FOUNDERS AND MANAGERS ANNECY-GENEVA
From stuck to decided, in six sessions
I ask the questions only someone who has run a business would ask. You find the answers. I know some of your world and made mistakes too.
Free, in person or online session. You leave with your question reframed + step for the week
Why founders and managers choose me over a “leadership coach”?
I HAVE BEEN THERE
25 years as a director in Paris and Hong Kong: a marketing team of 35 across a dozen nationalities, years in sales, three start-ups co-founded. INSEAD MBA. When you ask for my opinion, you get one.
MEASURED SESSION BY SESSION
Every session ends with a decision, a dated action and your score out of 10. Average across my last cycles: 9.4. We adjust or we stop.
How does a coaching cycle work ?
-
Your values, your story, your non‑negotiables. One to Two session
-
Clear direction and purpose : One master goal, split into sub‑goals we can measure.
-
One subgoal, many options on the table, one decision, one dated action before you leave
-
You rate every session; mid‑cycle reviews about you are already doing differently or start realizing to change; we stop when the goal is met, not when the package ends.
“The practical take-away from our conversations – touching on both my personal and professional life – was a game-changer for me”
“Very structured… helping you funnel down from the people who inspire you to your inner why”
“His combination of listening skills, strategic vision and corporate experience differentiate him from coaches ”
