EnCourage Coaching

A good reminder of the difference between adulthood and maturity :-)
“Many adults have not attained maturity- have not mastered being independent, self-motivated individuals capable of tending their own emotional needs and of respecting the needs of others”.

Happy new year!!!

A few weeks ago, I travelled to Washington DC with my father to attend the burial of a distant uncle, Jack, who left Belgium with his wife Aimee in the 1950s.�The real American dream!

When I heard the news, I called my father as I knew he was really close to Jacques. I had the feeling that he was going to travel to the US and say his final goodbye to his dear uncle. For the ones who know me even a bit, you probably know that my relationship with my father has not always been easy. And this is probably a euphemism. With years of therapy and hours of conversation with my loved ones, I now feel more confident in the fact that the adult I became can handle a healing interaction with the man I admired and feared so much in my youth.

I want to speak about the emotional journey that led to the decision to book my flight. I don’t recall any other time my dad and I spent four days together willingly. This trip together was for me more than just leisure time abroad. It was a victory for both of us and that’s why I wanted to share it in an understandable way. And the best way I found to do so was using the language I learned during my life coaching training at the Jay Shetty Certification School. You might have heard about NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) and if you have not, please read about it. It’s a fascinating methodology to explore our inner world. It is seen by some as a non-scientific method, but I must admit that it has been really efficient for me and for some people I have coached, so I’m sticking with it. I use this methodology when I coach. I like to use the metaphor of sailing on the sea to communicate with my clients about our inner journey. Please allow me to use this metaphor to take you on this journey, hoping that part of you feels encouraged to undertake a journey on your own someday.

Who can grasp the deep, instinctual fusion of discipline and dissipation on which it rests!

I just finished a coaching session with Tashi.

We need more Tashi’s in this world ❤️. She is working on an amazing short movie. The movie talks about the way humans perceive reality and Tashi has been able to represent what is going on in our human mind when we need to take a decision. I’ve always loved movies but coaching a screenwriter makes me realize how much thought and care can be put in the way we build a movie. Tashi’s work is a real and yet creative representation of our human life.

I also find amazing that she reached out to me to work more intentionally on one of her professional project.

Here is how she describes our coaching experience in the enCourage’s eMerge program:

“As a screenwriter and director, there are always many projects and aspects to manage. Rather than juggling all this on my own, Quentin’s support helps me to better organize my time, stay on track and move forward with my projects. Thanks to his practical advice and follow-up, he gives me the motivation I need to complete my tasks on time”

I’m so glad I got trained as a life coach because I now have the training to help Tashi for her purposeful goals. It feels good to be capable of respecting my client’s boundaries while enCouraging them to connect with their own intuition.

Congratulations Tashi for following your heart and producing meaningful narratives and movies for all of us ❤️

If you are willing to follow your heart and do not know exactly where to start, the eMerge program is meant for you! Follow the link in Bio for more details.
