About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy and help other people being happy

ABOUT ME

I am a french guy, living for many years in Spain. I have lived mainly in Madrid and in Barcelona where I currently live. I love Barcelona! (and Madrid, don't be jealous ;-))

I am a coach and a NLP practitioner, besides a management consultant and trainer, mainly for the automotive sector.

I am quite an active guy, always looking for ways to grow and trying to be a better person every day.

I love to travel and learn from other cultures. I have travelled to more than 40 countries in 4 continents.

Photography is one of my hobbies as well; I had 2 expos of my pictures heres in Barcelona.

Another hobby of mine is sport. I love to jog, I go to gym, I swim. I also like to play squash and Padel.

I like to go and see movies, always in original version.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live
