One approach in three stages

Whatever the transition, coaching helps the person move from a change they undergo to a change they choose.

Take stock

What is changing, how it feels, and a review of one’s strengths.
Clarify

One’s own goals, what matters next, and what the organization expects.
Look ahead

Plan the transition and take action, with a concrete plan.

“Very helpful during this professional transition. Each session felt like a real pause every two weeks and helped me take a step back. Guillemette really knows how to listen. She shows great energy, a strong ability to synthesize and real corporate expertise; she understands the business world and management issues.”

Frequently asked questions

What is transition coaching?

Individual or team coaching that helps a person or a team go through a change in their career path: a promotion, a new job, a departure, a return after an absence or a change of culture. It helps them take stock of their strengths, clarify their goals and look ahead.

Do you provide outplacement?

No. When someone leaves, our role is to support them emotionally and help them clarify their career plans. The job search itself is a matter for an outplacement firm.

Does coaching replace medical follow-up after burnout or illness?

No, it complements it. Coaching focuses on the return to work: confidence, pace, relationships with the team. Health follow-up remains the job of health professionals.

Who pays for the coaching?

Most often the company, which sets the coaching goals together with the person and the coach. What is said in sessions remains confidential.

Do you also work with teams?

Yes, particularly during a merger or acquisition, or in multicultural teams, to keep cultural differences and preconceptions from undermining day-to-day communication and collaboration.

Can I be coached remotely?

Yes. We meet clients in Montreal, Quebec City and Paris, and with videoconferencing we work with you wherever you are.
