Five good reasons to hire a professional life coach now
You have a dream
You are about to roll up your sleeves and make your dream project a reality. What you are looking for is not to get in your own way. The questions are how to clarify your vision, activate your unique gifts and skills to be able to develop a viable strategy to realize your dream project.
You are in transition
Change has a million faces - a promotion you’ve received, a new job, a divorce, a relocation to a country, etc. What is at stake is the development of a new constructive attitude to be able to successfully transition into a new personal or professional situation or a new stage of your life.
You are blocked by a recurrent obstacle
You think that there’s a recurring blockage in your personal or professional life and you would like to remove it. Lack of confidence, relational difficulties, communication with others, stress management, productivity, etc.
You have a decision to make
A career, life or business decision. The objectives are to align the values that affect your decision, develop criteria for what would make a successful decision for you, break the process into steps and explore the options.
You need support right now
You’re going through a difficult period in your personal or professional life and you seek clarity and would like to recover the energy to be able to move on.
How life coaching works
The request for life coaching is formulated by the client
Life coaching is the subject of a personalized contract
Sessions take place face-to-face if you are in Paris or on Zoom if you’re based elsewhere in the world
The process involves a relationship of trust and confidentiality
The first (evaluation) session is free of charge
Face-to-face vs. online coaching
What is the fundamental difference between being coached face-to-face versus distantly?
The short answer is the client’s own personal preference. As for the science of it, various studies conducted to measure the effectiveness of live coaching delivered face-to-face and distantly, suggest that no significant differences were found.
This may mean that coaches and clients are able to create productive coaching relationships and outcomes regardless of the method of contact. You decide what works best for you.

“I had the pleasure of experiencing an exceptional life coaching session with Yury while strolling through the picturesque streets of Paris. From the moment we began our express session, it was evident that he possessed a deep understanding of human behavior and a genuine passion for helping others. Yury’s ability to create a warm and supportive environment allowed me to open up comfortably. Throughout the walk, he skillfully guided me through insightful reflections, asking thought-provoking questions that led to meaningful discoveries about myself and my goals. I cannot recommend Yury enough for his exceptional guidance and expertise in creating a transformative and unforgettable coaching experience in the heart of Paris.”
