I started my studies in international business marketing, and loved its creative aspects: coming up with new concepts, communicating ideas in a powerful way, and finding solutions to problems. However the reality of doing business quickly caught up with me, and I decided to focus on another nurturing factor: interacting with people. Education offered me the best outlet, and since 2002 I have been facilitating learning, first as a private tutor in France, then as a university professor in Japan, and now at an international school in Luxembourg.

I participated in my first intensive group encounter in 2013 (La Jolla Program). Since then, I have been an advocate of the student-centered approach, as well as a dedicated practitioner, even if I prefer describing it as a way of being to borrow C. Rogers’ expression. Lastly I have shared with my students the three pillars of the person-centered approach as a path to a meaningful life, and it has been the most gratifying though challenging experience of my career.
