Grounded in openness, authenticity, positivity and creativity, Lionel has developed a coaching approach inspired by evidence-based methods and practices grounded in positive psychology and appreciative inquiry that sharpens understanding for functions, strengths and talents. This approach encourages value-based decision making and promotes the emergence and reinforcement of successful leadership practices and leadership attribution. Lionel believes that coaching focused on intercultural competencies inspires more effectiveness in multicultural diversified teams in both home and foreign country settings.
Lionel has lived and worked for more than 20 years outside of his home country France, mainly in the UK, Germany and Japan.
