Career Exploration and Development Journey
Tailor-made support to take stock of your career, clarify what you want professionally and build the next step of your development.
Are you going through a period of professional questioning? Are you considering a career change, a new role or a new project, but need to step back to see things more clearly?
After several years of experience, a move abroad, becoming a parent or another significant change in your life, it is sometimes necessary to take the time to reflect on what you really want to build next.
This programme supports you in a process of introspection, clarification and momentum, to find a professional direction that fits who you are.
This programme is particularly suited if you want to:
- Take stock of your career, your skills and your aspirations
- Regain confidence in your professional potential
- Identify what you would like to change or develop
- Explore new professional paths
- Prepare to return to work after a break or a life transition
- Better understand your needs, your values and what drives you at work
- Build a concrete action plan to move towards your project
How does the programme work?
Every programme is built to measure, according to your situation, your goals and your pace.
We define the objectives together and explore different dimensions with tools drawn in particular from:
- Professional coaching
- Positive psychology
- Transactional analysis
- Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)
- Personal development
Session after session, the work clarifies your situation, explores your options and moves you into action, through guided reflection and concrete steps between appointments.
Could your employer fund it?
Some companies now offer individual support as part of internal mobility, career management or professional transitions.

FAQ
How does this programme differ from a bilan de compétences?
This programme shares some of its aims with a bilan de compétences, the French career skills assessment: stepping back from your career path, identifying your resources, clarifying what you want and thinking about a professional move.
It differs in its approach, though: it is personalised support blending coaching, guided reflection and career exploration tools. It is not a certified bilan de compétences in the regulatory sense of the term.
Who is this programme for?
This programme is for anyone who wants to step back from their professional path and build a next step aligned with their aspirations.
It can be particularly relevant after a move abroad, after becoming a parent, after a period of professional transition or when you feel ready for a change.
Is this programme available in English?
Yes. The programme is offered in English or in French, to meet the needs of international profiles and expat families in particular.
Is it suitable for people who do not yet know exactly what they want to do?
Yes. Coaching can be especially useful precisely when the project is not yet clearly defined.
The aim is not only to find an immediate answer, but to take the time to explore what you want, what you need, what you are good at and the different options that could suit your situation.
How many sessions does the programme take?
The length of the programme depends on your goals and on your situation.
A full programme usually runs to between 6 and 10 sessions over a period of 3 to 6 months, to allow for real reflection, exploration and action.
