Coaching and mentoring are very powerful elements in personal and professional development.  It is a process based on interviews, personal reflections and on a relationship of collaboration and trust. It is guided by objectives defined at the outset and aims to allow the client to develop his full potential, his know-how and his interpersonal skills to better adapt to his professional environment.

The coach offers benchmarks that can help the client to position himself. It is an accompanist of change that allows the person to take the necessary steps for his changes. Unlike a mentor, the coach normally refrains from stating solutions and accompanies the client to develop their own responses.

Informal coaching / mentoring services (individual or group) are offered to discuss and address specific needs such as:

• Career guidance,

• Ethical and political dilemmas,

• Balance between personal and professional priorities

• Political sense and influence

• Preparation for executive interviews

The executive interview does not happen without careful planning. 

Several important elements are part of it, such as interview techniques, but it is essential to initiate an in-depth personal reflection on this passage in this important stage of your career.
