Graduates testimony

"I lived in Paris for 10 years in a very stimulating and excellent professional environment, but the other side of the coin was a life of stress, dehumanisation, and progressive loss of meaning. At the same time, I was running on empty and felt unmotivated in my career my wife, who was pregnant with our first child, was fiercely determined to improve our quality of life by returning to our beloved South-West. 

That is why I took the step of engaging in a coaching process with Dominique GALABERT through KEDGE Alumni. 

I would like to testify here to the conditions for the success of a coaching process and also to its effects, which first of all allow you to transform yourself in depth by acquiring a better knowledge of yourself, then by taking action in your interactions with others to communicate better, live better and evolve better. 

It’s essential that there be alchemy between the involvement of the person being coached who comes to the sessions with his authenticity and willingness to move forward, and the benevolent neutrality of the coach who guarantees his or her quality of listening and his or her ability to facilitate constructive solutions. I particularly felt that our relationship, which was based on trust, was why the coaching process was successful. This is why I encourage you to meet or conduct quick telephone interviews with the coaches proposed by KEDGE Alumni in so you can discuss the elements (feeling, tools utilised, the coach’s background, setting goals and prospects, material conditions of your meetings, etc.) to determine if you can successfully work together. In my opinion, this is essential.

Each person must go at their own pace to discover himself or herself first, then give meaning to their objectives before moving towards greater autonomy in reflection and action. What’s remarkable in the coaching process is that the ultimate goal is not to have a long relationship and resolving endless problems, but rather to achieve autonomy of the one being coached, who will gradually gain the tools for reflection, taking a step back, and taking action that promote his or her development.

From my case, the coaching process lasted two years, which I think was necessary to allow time for the maturation of the in-depth changes I needed to achieve to be highly effective. This doesn’t mean that it takes a long time for the effect of coaching only becomes apparent after a long time. However, when an environment is too unstable, insisting on speed to reach goals in a shorter time does not facilitate its success.

I now live in Bordeaux with my family. I left my former employer - something I wouldn't have imagined doing when I began the coaching process - and I'm working in a new field that is much more in line with my values and personal objectives. I would like to thank KEDGE Alumni for giving me the chance to get this support. Additionally, I would also like to thank my coach who was so attentive and helped facilitate the connection to my deepest self, and with whom I shared strong moments of intimacy that allowed me to become whom I am today. I can state that I’ve reached the coaching goals set during our first sessions and that I now have the keys to be autonomous in finding solutions to the challenges I’m confronted with daily in my professional and personal lives".
