Olivier is a highly professional and competent executive coach. He is a great listener who is genuinely interested in guiding his coachees to their ultimate purpose.
His coaching style is marked by a personalized approach fostered by a profound sense of trust.
In addition to our dynamic sessions, Olivier provided valuable resources and recommendations that enriched my learning journey and inspired further reflections. It helped me a lot navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
I would strongly recommend Olivier to anyone seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities and/or achieve personal fulfillment.
Philippe Guerineau - CEO - Barcelona
I was lucky enough to have Olivier as my coach for a year at a time of major transition in my professional career. While Olivier has all the technical skills needed to help people develop their potential, his empathy, active listening and ability to provide precise and useful advice are invaluable assets.
Many of the ideas I discovered with Olivier are now pillars of my life, having encouraged me to think differently, to explore different horizons and above all to progress in my own intimate knowledge, my own development creating new and attractive perspectives. In short, a catalyst for my own learning and development.
John McNeill Ingham - Strategic Energy Sector Leader - Sao Paulo
Olivier's performance was fantastic. First of all, because he himself has such a diverse cultural background and he can feel comfortable in any environment. Secondly, because he knows his subject so well and the course rises to a higher level. I can say, without a doubt, that this was one of the few worthwhile courses I have done and perhaps even the best. I certainly recommend Olivier's work for anyone searching for a high-level business and team training in a global and diverse environment.
The Seven Dysfunctions of Leaders
Despite all their good intentions, leaders or aspiring leaders can go astray or even off the rails. In doing so, they can have a negative, sometimes irreversible impact on their teams, their organisation and, ultimately, on their careers and their lives. No one is immune. We are all susceptible to reproducing patterns of behaviour or adopting ways of thinking that are contrary to the objectives we wish to achieve.
Without constant vigilance and self-questioning, we risk becoming dysfunctional at any moment. In writing 'The 7 Dysfunctions of Leaders', I wanted to summarise over 35 years of professional experience on five continents, and I have grouped my observations into seven dysfunctions:
-
Self-ignorance: lack of self-knowledge can lead you to make the wrong decisions or choose an option for the wrong reasons.
-
Isolation: your horizons are limited because you are locked into circles that are too narrow.
-
Poor communication: your communication is not as effective as you would like.
-
Lack of vision: inspiration wanes and talent is depleted in the absence of a vision.
-
Dispersion: resources are lacking or exhausted through lack of focus.
-
Mistrust: lack of confidence creates a climate of psychological insecurity and conflictual situations.
-
Exhaustion: in the end, we exhaust ourselves and others, letting too much potential slip away.
Let's examine each dysfunction. The traps you can fall into. The gains you can make by overcoming them. Then the steps you can take to explore and implement your response. In all, we’ll ask 21 questions to get you on the right track.

He is definitely at the cutting edge of global leadership consulting and I have no reservation of recommending him to anyone who want a real professional.
Avi Z Liran - Chief Delighting Officer - Singapore
Olivier is an energetic positive top consultant and trainer who walks the talk. I have seen Olivier rise up to challenging occasions such as the 2008 financial crisis and dealing with family health issues, in the junctions of taking real tough decision, Olivier braved the difficulties with a smile, faith and lots of hard work while keeping his integrity and loyalty where others could be tempted not to. When you engage Olivier, you get a person who is a role model of what he teaches.
Etienne Capelle - CEO & Executive Development - Stockholm
Throughout my career at Korn Ferry I had the chance to meet and learn from remarkable individuals. A few people have had a singular impact on me as a person and as a professional. Olivier is one of my top 5 and a constant source of inspiration. Combining personal qualities that are often difficult to reconcile, Olivier knows how to create an environment where it suddenly seems easy to take risks and give the best of yourself. His energy is communicative and helps his partners to move mountains. His stimulating intellectual curiosity and humour are accompanied by the utmost seriousness and persistence in execution. Thank you Olivier!

Olivier is definitely one of the very best trainers in his branch of business that I've come a cross with. Very inspiring, highly qualified - to my understanding, he convinced and inspired pretty much everyone in our very diversified group of people to be facilitated.

I had the opportunity to work with Olivier during my career, and he's a truly inspirational leader who inspires, coaches, and motivates people, whatever their background, culture, profile, or industry. He has this unique capability to bring people together in a very genuine way. His empathy to understand the business from a 360-degree approach adds value to any company or/people. I enjoyed working with Olivier and would do it again. If your company is looking to raise the bar, he is the one who can help and bring significant and rational results!"
