To create awareness and inspire people to find their pathway to success, happiness and peace of mind

Create awareness: often, people don’t even know what they don’t or should know, or what might be opportunities or avenues of what might, could or should be.
Inspire: uses himself and the experiences of the people he work with to encourage, ignite, and help people move forward, no matter their choice, and see that a positive outcome is possible for the future.
Way forward: a step in a the right direction for them (not their loved ones, families, friends, colleagues, society, company, etc), having a sense of heading, purpose, intention as well as action. This does not mean that it is fixed or unchanging, but more that as of right now, people know where they should go.
Success: everyone’s definition of success is different, and for each individual, it also changes over the course of time. Every individual needs to figure out what they want as a positive impactful result at the end of something.
Happiness: happiness is the only truly positive core emotion and is essential to our overall well-being. We have to be happy with ourselves, with our lives, with our work, our relationships and all aspects of our lives.
Peace of mind: helping people know that they have taken the time to tackle, explore, and challenge themselves to make the right choices, with the info you were able to gather - no matter what happens tomorrow, a month, a year, a decade or what hindsight might tell them.

His greatest value to the team: He constantly raises the bar.
Here is how his results are summarized: he is the benevolent challenger. He isnot challenging people's beliefs; rather he is challenging them to express the best in themselves. He calls out to their potential, refusing to let them squander their talent. He is brimming with ideas of how to make the process of discovery compelling, invigorating, essential even. While he inspires, he is also often inspired. Excited by newfound ideas, he'll tell anyone who'll listen. He can often be heard exclaiming: "Isn't this the coolest concept you've ever heard?!" or "Isn't that the most brilliant idea?!" He never quite understands why more people are not as thrilled as he is.

Them feeling between the employees, the staff and the team. Antoine does a really good job at allowing each of us to see what the other needs.

Here are THE AREAS where Antoine can help you:
Team engagement
People are at the core of any organization. And having people who are engaged and motivated is such a key factor to success, productivity and overall excellence. Using a single approach of workshops, or of coaching, or blend of both, to find new ways for your team to connect and work together.
Leader and manager development
Managers account for more that 60% of the reasons people actually leave a position, yet they are often the most underdeveloped. Offering them and their leaders opportunities to grow through workshops, discussions and coaching is key to any organization's success.
Entrepreneurship
A passionate advocate of entrepreneurship, he can help explore the way of life, integrate the focus on the human-side, help set foundational mindsets and explore how to ensure that the true ideal client is at the center of any venture.
Professional development
Most individuals want what they do at work to have meaning and purpose. You need to know where you are at, where you are going and how you are going to get there - you need to stop hoping. Start your journey to professional success by completing impactful assessments and having challenging conversations.
Current themes OF His discussions
Here are some of the workshops/discussions Antoine is currently presenting both virtually and in person:
In today's rapidly changing world, traditional career paths may not offer the fulfillment or security they once did. Maybe you’re uncertain if you want to spend your life working for someone else. Maybe someone you know (or yourself) has faced the cold reality of job layoffs or abusive employers. Maybe the call of entrepreneurship echoing louder every day. Whatever your reality, you're on the edge of a significant decision: the potential leap into the rewarding world of entrepreneurship. But entrepreneurship isn't just about starting a business and it goes beyond creating a new job; it's about embracing a way of life. Get the real deal on being an entrepreneur, dispel myths and compare the entrepreneur versus employee lifestyle.
In a society and education system that has not changed much (structure no, approach somewhat, content yes) since the industrial era, it is not surprising that there is a focus on trying to be well-rounded - a good team player. Yet, research and data continues to confirm that, as we are no longer in cookie cutter approaches, this is a false and inaccurate approach. The reality is that people have to continue to discover, unlock and focus on their uniqueness. Discover the true approach to success and excellence in today's realities.
Social media is exploding with content boasting innovation at the key to success. The media, governments, programs and other sources of information on entrepreneurship also focus on the importance of innovation. Yet the most successful companies were often not the most innovative (think Facebook who was not the first social site or Zoom who was not the first web-based virtual meeting platform) but yet, they grew to be leaders in their industries. This presentation/workshop will help you discover, understand and apply all of the required capabilities for entrepreneurial, small business and new product/service/program success.
Career fit (leaders, culture, environment, people), not capacity (experience, skills, knowledge), is the hidden factor that leads to professional career fulfillment. Professional worth has long been defined by titles, promotions, and salary. However, research demonstrates that these "success markers" don't keep you engaged, motivated, fulfilled or satisfied at work. The presentation will dispel myths and demonstrate how career fit is essential for long-term career success and well-being. Imagine waking up motivated to contribute to a role at work that recognizes you and makes you stronger – the presentation will set you on this path.
The founder, the creator, the visionary behind a business is a primary key to its success. You are at the center of your business - you are its face, its reputation, its foundation. Understanding who you are and exploring your natural capabilities to create, launch and grow a business is essential information that will guide most of your business decisions. Make sure that you build something that allows you, the entrepreneur, to be at your best.
