Express Coaching Walk in Paris

A single 1-hour coaching session

A coaching walk: a single session to get things moving

Got something going on right now? Do you like walking around Paris? Walking helps clear your head and clear your mind. So how about a walk in the company of a professional coach? How about an express coaching session while walking the streets of Paris to combine business with pleasure?

Have you ever been coached? Essentially, coaching is listening and questioning. No advice, no ready-made solutions. As for express coaching, it is focused on a specific objective or on a defined problem. Punctual, informal and engaging, it does not replace a multi-session coaching, but it can help you open up new perspectives.

The goal of this experience is to visit on foot a lovely neighbourhood of Paris while creating new insight regarding an issue of importance to you.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) said "Walking has something about it which animates and enlivens my ideas. I can hardly think while I am still; my body must be in motion to move my mind."

Engaged in a deep reflection on image and imagination, I operate on a cusp of applied arts, Jungian psychology and professional coaching combining creative expression and systemic Palo Alto approach to deliver results.

Reginé

“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.”

“Yury is a very good listener and the feedback is eye-opening.”

David

“Given that you’re reading this review and are considering doing it… think no further. Do it. I’ve done a lot of inner work / therapy / coaching, and yet Yury helped me uncover actionable insights on topics I felt stuck on for some time. Yury is a fantastic listener, thinker, and coach. I felt comfortable with him from the get go, and the walk was a very pleasant route which added to the experience.”

Jesse

“I’ve always been a bit skeptical about the life coach thing, but Yury is the real deal. The walk was beautiful, and somehow in one hour discussed more than I ever thought possible with a stranger. Afterwards, I sat in a park for about an hour contemplating life in the most positive way. If you’re even slightly considering this, do it.”

Curtis

“Yury radiates kindness and thoughtfulness.”
