Coaching Model: D.E.S.I.R.E

A Coaching Model Created by Marie Laure Dancer

Vision without action is merely a dream Action without vision just passes time Vision with action can change the world. Joel Barker

Who I Am

In a previous professional life, I gained experience and knowledge of the specific corporate world and processes by working several years for an international financial company.

My job was to design and promote an offer dedicated to the international corporate clientele: a good way to develop my skills of listening in an international environment, building up a client-oriented approach.

During a career break to raise my children I launched an association to muster women’s professional networking in France. It was a turning point in my life. I met so many women seeking a more meaningful career that I made the decision to support them in achieving their goals and first became a trainer.

I have delivered comprehensive programs in France, Montreal and Kuala Lumpur on different items such as expatriation, professional transitions and communication skills in business. Today, I support people who want to start or optimize their business or retrain. I designed this coaching model for those persons.

Who Are My Clients

My clients are mainly women who had a career or were “stay-at-home mums” who want to give another direction to their professional life. They are all creative, responsible and enthusiastic persons who want to make the most of their life and feel fulfilled by leading a meaningful career or a sustainable business. My “coaching model” supports them in achieving this goal on a step by- step comprehensive coaching model.

Dream

Nothing can happen that hasn’t been dreamt.

Ask yourself:

What is my wildly improbable goal (WIG*)?

Shift from Adaptation to the expectations of others (family, society, education) to a Personal Reflection.

Open our mind and heart to lift us beyond what we thought to be our limitations.
