Being and Acting… a springboard to well-being!

The concept of fulfillment in a lifetime is unique to each individual. The experience of my years of training has made me aware of the importance of maintaining this fragile balance between long hours of training and my physical and mental health.

Since the beginning of this health crisis, it is also essential to favour this harmony between work and our balance in life.

As part of this conference, I will discuss the different ways with concrete means of implementing good daily living habits in order to optimize our personal and professional well-being.

This conference aims to help people to:

Target their strengths and difficulties in order to use them as springboards to well-being;
Better understand the components influencing our lifestyles, in order to put in place healthy lifestyle habits;
Have concrete examples to better harmonize our personal and professional life.

I sincerely believe that it is possible to achieve serenity and balance in our lives despite our busy schedules! With simple and concrete tips, I help you realize that the best gift you can give yourself is to take care of yourself. This approach will allow you to have the energy required to develop professionally and personally. Isn't that what we all aspire to... to succeed while remaining serene!

I take an innovative approach so that you are a better version of yourself and resilient in the face of hardship.

I address themes that are dear to me since I have experienced them… unpredictability, stress management, anxiety, depression, the courage to be imperfect and vulnerable and the road traveled to get out of it! Having suffered from anxiety for years I am comfortable talking about mental health and how far we have come to find lasting solutions.
