Mindful Coaching

My story Fifteen years ago, in university I made my first public speech. My teacher surprised me by telling me that I have a gift for public speaking. At that time, I did not yet realize the pertinence of his words. A few years later, when I started in the business world, I facilitated my first training. It was a real revelation. I took great pleasure in sharing knowledge and facilitating ideas. Since then, I never get tired of that moment when I perceive that someone has just learned something new, this "TADA" moment when new horizons have just opened. I have evolved as a corporate trainer navigating between a range of favorite topics, such as communication, leadership and emotional intelligence. It then became clear to me that my passion was personal development. I myself have read, watched and listened to books, videos and podcasts to get to know myself better and grow from the inside out. The idea of becoming a coach then flourished. From an artistic blur to the discovery of “my niche”, my own touch: Mindful Coaching. What is coaching and mindfulness? I like to define coaching as the vehicle on the journey of change. For me, being a coach means helping to unleash your underlying beliefs, understanding the motivation of your choices and the root of your judgments. It is also and above all to create the necessary space that allows you to answer the question: Who am I? And then allowing yourself to flow with the rhythm of your true self. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention, without judgment, to the present moment. Mindfulness is a key driver to be truly present in oneself, and in this sense supports the principles of coaching. There are many techniques and tools that allow us to reach full consciousness. My choice is the use of singing bowls. What are singing bowls? The brain emits different types of waves depending on the physical and psychic states. The most common are: • Beta waves: when we are in a state of wakefulness and activity • Alpha waves: when we are in a state of calm, they also characterize this state between wakefulness and sleep • Theta waves: when we dream or are in deep mediation. It has been measured that the waves emitted by the vibratory chant of the bowls are close to the alpha and theta waves, which facilitates a state of deep mindfulness. It's as if you were immersed in a bath of meditative frequencies! My project? Combine the singing bowls with coaching to promote the integration of the session or to arouse change through visualization. They can be used in sound bath or massage. The bowl is then placed close or on the body to physically feel the vibrations.
