J'avais dix-neuf ans et une envie pressante de quitter la France, de quitter le connu sans savoir véritablement pourquoi mais une force en moi, au plus profond de moi me poussait à aller explorer au-delà des frontières françaises. Et cet élan (je pourrais même parler de pulsion tellement cette sensation s’était imposée à moi), et bien cet élan m’a invité à m’envoler vers les États-Unis.

Le changement… il est partout ! Dans notre quotidien, dans nos relations, et même dans ce que l'on croit imperturbable. On ne peut pas y échapper, tout simplement parce qu'il est la condition du vivant. Il est au cœur de tout ce que l'on est, de tout ce que l'on fait.

J'ai participé ce matin à un atelier d'écriture introspective. Vous savez combien je crois en cet outil puissant de découverte de soi puisqu’Horizons Stellaires est basé dessus. C’est la possibilité d'aller regarder à l'intérieur de soi par le biais de l’écriture : celle-ci invite à formuler ses pensées, prendre le temps de réfléchir à qui l'on est, ses émotions, ses aspirations à travers les mots pour pouvoir se connecter plus profondément à son soi intérieur.

Vous avez dû entendre parler du film « Gourou » dont l'acteur principal est Pierre Niney. Il est sorti il y a quelques semaines, il est toujours à l'affiche si jamais vous ne l’avez pas vu. Il a fait beaucoup de remue-ménage avant même sa sortie, notamment dans ma profession. Je suis Bénédicte Flouriot et j’exerce le magnifique métier de coach professionnel. Alors forcément, ce film m’a interpellé et j’étais impatiente de le voir. Il m’a permis de faire le point sur ma profes

Il est important pour moi de rester au courant des dernières évolutions dans mon secteur. Cela inclut de me tenir informée des nouveautés en matière de coaching de carrière, de techniques de développement professionnel et de stratégies de recherche d’emploi.

Who would choose a profession that is known for making you work long hours, miss weekends with your family, for offering average financial compensations and a stressful environment? Probably no one. Unless…they are passionate.

I lived in seven different countries. Yes, seven! And believe me, I am not going to stop there. Traveling brings you so much that it becomes addictive. It all started when I was about 18 years old. I spent few months in the US, worked there and discovered a different way of living and being. I made a promise to myself: “This trip offered you so much, can you imagine what the entire world could offer you? Don’t go back to what you know, travel the world!” And I did and I still

For years, we have been talking about work-life balance. How to prioritize between “work” aka your career and ambition and “lifestyle” aka your health, pleasure, leisure, family and friends.

You chose a career because you had to. You were 15, 18 or 20 years old and you didn’t really know what you wanted to do for the rest of your life. The “rest of your life,” oh my gosh, such a lifetime decision! Like most teenagers, you didn’t know which career path to take right out of high school, so you chose a job that your parents, your friends or your school suggested, without really knowing what it meant.

I always knew that I wanted to be an entrepreneur! My background is in the hospitality industry and when I was younger, I was dreaming about having my own restaurant, running things the way that I want, acting and being present on all fronts. I have had a few attempts where I partnered with a friend to start a catering service, I participated in a business plan competition to raise money and start a healthy restaurant chain, I took on marketing consulting projects, nothing ev

You spend hours fine-tuning your resume, researching your dream job, wondering if you should actually send your application out. Your negative self-talks convince you that no one will ever be interested in you and you start believing them. The whole process around having to “sell yourself” on the work market is pretty scary and can create lots of anxiety! And one day… you receive the so long-expected call inviting you to come and meet with one of the employers you have approa

The title I came up with just makes me laugh! That is one of these real and authentic laughs I love feeling from time to time. “Everything is possible and it’s super fun!” just refers to one of my deep believes and it makes me giggle. It’s a laugh of excitement, enthusiasm, stimulation that the word “possibility” creates in me. Coupling it with “fun”, and it’s the cherry on the cake! Ahah!

Last week, I participated in a lecture around the change in the brain, a very interesting discussion on the challenges of processing change. The lecture started with these 3 questions: 1) What does change mean to you? 2) When you hear the word change, what feelings come to mind? 3) How often do you experience change in your life?

Have you ever been asked this question? I don’t remember anyone asking me this question before, as if it was not the most important part of being in a career. Step back and picture someone asking you this question: “Are you fulfilled in your career?” How do you feel right now? Some would say that it’s an intimate question, some would feel the pressure to answer “yes, of course”, some would feel anxious about it because it raises the big questions they never dare asking themse
