No Wonder you’re restless about work right now!

You’re under tremendous pressure to prove yourself. Trying to grow your career in this competitive, shifting economy, looking for recognition, always comparing yourself to others.

You’re on a treadmill, going faster and faster.

It’s exhausting.

There’s a better way! My mission is to help you focus on what you can control and explore what is going on inside of you so you overcome emotional obstacles and reach your goals.

I help business professionals navigate their career with mindfulness, so they can experience more freedom and fulfillment at work, while enjoying external success like making more money.

I can help you

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a firefighter (like my dad), not so much because of fire itself, but for the opportunity to bring people to safety.

That’s what I do for business professionals like you who are struggling with work challenges.

When my coaching client Natalie reached out to me for guidance with her social media company, she was stressed, scared, and working 90 hours a week. Something had to change. One of her employees was following his own set of priorities, and Natalie didn’t trust him anymore. She felt that he didn’t respect her as CEO. She was struggling to address the situation, and afraid of upsetting the relationship.

Without judgment or criticism, we worked with her fear. By pretending that I was her employee, Natalie practiced what she wanted to say until she became confident in her ability to handle the situation. Then, one day she was able to sit down with her employee and find a resolution, by mindfully sharing what she had to say, and hearing what he had to say. This was a huge turning point for her!

Natalie’s success was both internal and external.

In my life, by the time I had achieved significant career success, e.g., five promotions in three years (including promotion VP Global Sales, my dream job–I thought), sales rep of the year (twice), I was still impatient and unhappy.

But why was I dissatisfied, if I had gotten everything, I thought I wanted? All my drama and impatience ultimately led me to uncover a surprising gift inside me: the ability to transform challenging emotions into treasure.

I became an executive coach, and at the same time, I joined a personal development group where mindfulness helped me to grow and unlock the treasure of my emotions.

My passion is helping people to understand and work with their emotions, and finding ways to free themselves from external pressure, with mindfulness.

Let me support you

I’ve spent the last ten years as a negotiation consultant and coach while focusing on my own development, which led me to write a book: Mindful NEGOtiation: Becoming Aware In The Moment, Conquering Your Ego & Get Everyone What They Really Want.

Originally from Montreal Canada, I live in Scottsdale, Arizona with my wife and stepson. I have two grown-up sons in Montreal. Besides English, I also speak French. When I’m not busy helping people, I hike, mountain bike, and cook with a good glass of wine. I’m fascinated by and I’m always looking for the next book that can teach me something new.
