Problem faced:

Life was throwing me some big challenges, so I decided to reach out to Olivier. I needed to set clear goals for the future and develop a way to stay focused, as I had a tendency to get distracted easily. Balancing competing priorities especially as a husband and father of two made it difficult to find clarity or direction. Staying focused while making tough decisions felt like a constant battle, and I didn’t feel equipped to handle them, either in the moment or if they arose again in the future.

Impact it had:

My struggles came from a lack of structure in how I managed my goals and decisions. I tended to overthink and follow a stream of consciousness, which often made it difficult to stay on track. Without a clear plan or coping mechanisms, I risked staying stuck, growing more frustrated over time. This lack of clarity also affected my confidence and decision making, holding me back both personally and professionally. I could have continued ignoring the issue, as I had done for so long, but I decided enough was enough.

Solution worked on:

Olivier’s coaching made a huge difference for me. I’m not used to having someone help channel my thoughts, but he is the most active listener empathetic yet always focused on moving things forward. He has this innate ability to steer conversations toward insights I could act on. Through our sessions, he helped me set clear, achievable goals and gave me tools and strategies to stay focused, no matter what distractions or challenges came my way.

Impact of result:

For the first time, I became crystal clear on my goals and how to take my career forward. The tools and strategies I learned still serve me today, and I feel so much more confident as a result. A major breakthrough was learning to see my challenges from new perspectives, which allowed for more balanced decision making. Overall, I feel more empowered and equipped than ever before.

Olivier helped me work through a lot of different things at a time when I struggled to see solutions on my own. Now, that has completely changed—it feels transformative. He’s a very attentive listener and follows up with incredible insight. Highly recommended.
