First, the basics, for consistency:
* La Venelle pays homage to the world of theater, with its courtyard side and garden side that complement each other. The courtyard side aims to amplify the "behind the scenes" aspect that prevails in Patrick's accompaniments

* Why "behind the scenes"? Because I believe that all our daily successes are often an overlooked sum of micro-details, small tasks, disciplines, failures, and mistakes that, when repeated enough, transform into those magical moments that we experience on our "stages," hence the return to theater imagery.

* The wings are also a place to try, attempt, start again, and be tempted once more. So you are free to try out Patrick and La Venelle for a session or two, a month or more. The aim is to create a connection and co-create.

Accepting support?
I came across this anonymous quote one day, and it's very apt.
"Maturity means not forcing others to choose you."

It perfectly sums up my vision of support. It encapsulates the fundamental notions of respect, interpersonal skills, and autonomy. Coaching is a "match," and above all, a match with your coach.

Like a sports coach who believes more strongly in his athlete's potential than the athlete himself, throughout my lifeI have been fortunate enough to meet, work with, challenge, and debate with mentors, people, women, men, artists, artisans, leaders, and athletes who have given me a few SIMPLE keys to dealing effectively with the problems that life throws at us every day: we often confuse who we want to be with who we really are. The good news is that this is a path of opportunities to discover ourselves, gently.

I have chosen to work on these simple keys as a good Shaolin student for more than 20 years, between creating companies, associations, and management positions for large companies, to turn them into a philosophy, an approach that can be summed up in four words: Slow down, Observe, Create, Inspire.

I love beauty that escapes us, I love bringing it out, sharing it, finding it everywhere. Making do with what life gives us.

I like to talk at length to transform ideas into small steps, into actions. Nothing beats action, and that's what it's all about. How many books, articles, posts, and videos do we consume where the underlying message is "You know what you have to do, so do it!"? But deep down, no one really helps you in your actions, in your side steps. I want to change that. With 1%, 5%, 10% maximum. Because that's all it takes, really.

I work with each person on considering their own world. To consider is to slow down. To slow down is to observe. Simply observing your situation with a different eye than your own changes everything. 1%, a detail, a sentence, an opinion. And everything starts again.

I bring a unique, creative, and analytical perspective (the basis of my CHILLAX© approach) to every situation.

I offer support to those who need an eye, a benevolent ally behind the scenes, a visible or invisible hand that reassures—each person can choose for themselves.

The price is my value, your opportunity. Each piece of content is personalized for each individual or group I work with. As you can see, I'm not a fan of standards.
