Stress is, in biology, the set of reactions of an organism subjected to pressures or constraints of the environment. Anxiety is a mental and physical malaise, born from the feeling of the imminence of a danger, characterized by a diffuse fear which can go as far as panic. While anxiety is a one-time emotion & often occurs as a fit, whereas anxiety can be more chronic in nature.

All three are not necessarily signs of weakness and without being a choice, they affect many people to varying intensities. Not ignoring your pain and being accompanied to find coping strategies is vital.

These workshops offer you to learn to listen, tame, manage and control your emotions, stress, anxiety and anxiety.

The objectives are clear, with always practical applications:
- Discover your own emotional process to understand the role and impact of emotions
- Analyze its operations and implement (concrete) strategies & clear techniques to channel them
- Develop your emotional awareness to strengthen your balance / harmony / self-confidence as well as the best discovery & control of your own resources / skills / potential as well as new tools
- Overcome your fears and blockages to be able to move forward and calmly
- Reduce the psychological / psycho-somatic manifestations of his emotions
- Optimize the emotional process thanks to the concept of emotional intelligence
- Make your sensitivity & possible hypersensitivity a strength

Indeed, the sensitive & hypersensitive represent a small part of the population and are able to perceive what others do not feel, which is hidden but try to conform to what is expected of them and of them. '' be able to live in community. After appropriate support, a hypersensitive can learn to tame their innate abilities

What happens during a session ?

After having defined together one or more global objectives based on your initial problem, each session takes place in two stages.

1) Browse, analyze & dissect together the reflections, thoughts and notes taken during the week and related to your emotions: actions taken based on the suggestions of the previous week; thoughts; feelings: what worked or not / corresponded or not to your expectations. It is also an opportunity to get to know you better in order to better define / define / identify and then solve together the challenges / emotional blockages of the moment.

2) Based on the conclusions of the first part, a proposal of two to three sub-issues of the day to be dealt with during the session (sub-issues built from your initial issue): to answer them, for each of them 'between them, a series of ten to fifteen pragmatic reflections / actions will be proposed to you. Three possible answers:
- "I have already tried this solution but it does not suit me" or "I do not really believe it": we go to the next suggestion
- “Never tried” or “why not”, “I'll think about it”: we set ourselves the goal of trying as soon as the opportunity arises, by the next session

Concretely, a session = a reflection but above all A SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the following session in order to overcome its blockages.

According to the defined objective, it is a question of identifying & resolving the impact of emotions and their bad channeling not only on his communication but especially on his daily life.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and cutting-edge know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This manager is in charge of transmitting information and directives coming from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions*. (*study 2022).

Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

Sometimes you need an outside perspective to understand a situation more clearly.

In this one-on-one session, you can bring any topic that is currently on your mind: relationships, work, personal decisions, communication, uncertainty, or a situation you simply don’t know how to approach.

You can talk openly and at your own pace. I will listen carefully, help you organize your thoughts, ask questions that can uncover what is really bothering you, and share my perspective and practical advice when it can be helpful.

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance or know exactly what you want to discuss. We can start wherever you are and gradually figure out what matters most.

The goal of the session is to help you understand your situation more clearly, look at possible options, and leave with a better sense of what you want to do next.

This is an informal guidance and reflection session, not therapy or professional psychological counseling.

Are you a student wondering about your future? A recent graduate looking for your first job? An employee wanting to advance, negotiate a better salary, or consider a career change?

I offer personalized, practical and non-judgmental support to help you identify your opportunities and achieve your professional goals.

Trained as an engineer and now head of operations, I have built my professional career through several experiences, changes of position and taking on responsibilities.
These developments have allowed me to develop a real ease in job searching, skills development, interview preparation and salary negotiation.
Beyond my own career path, I have always enjoyed supporting those around me in their professional reflections: identifying accessible jobs, discovering training courses, improving a CV, preparing an application or building a strategy to change jobs.

My conviction: good career guidance almost never relies on diplomas or past experiences, but also on the ability to identify opportunities, to value one's potential and to give oneself the means to access them.

- Discover jobs and sectors you might not have necessarily considered.
- Explore the training courses, degrees and certifications that are suitable for your project.

Manifestation and mindset coaching grounded in real psychology. I am Jordan Bridger - a trained social psych psychologist, currently completing postgraduate training in neuroscience at Harvard, with 15 years coaching founders, performers and creatives. I teach the practical mechanics of assumption and imagination - the Neville Goddard tradition - fused with what behavioral science actually knows about attention, emotion and habit. This is not therapy. It is training: you learn to choose the state you live from, and we build the scenes, protocols and daily structure that make it stick. Clients come for money blocks, confidence, performance anxiety, and the sense that they know the law but cannot stop overthinking it. You will leave the first session with a working practice.

Ever bought a set of watercolors and wondered why your greens look flat, your purples turn muddy, and nothing quite looks like the colors you imagined? The secret is that you don’t need dozens of tubes of paint. With a few basic colors and some simple color mixing knowledge, you can create almost any shade yourself.

In this relaxed, hands-on online class, you’ll learn how to mix your own colors from scratch and understand how watercolors behave. We’ll focus on the colors beginners find trickiest:

Blacks and deep darks, mixed from colors instead of straight from the tube, for richer, livelier shadows
Greens, from fresh spring tones to deep forest shades
Purples, clear and vibrant instead of dull or muddy
Pinks, from soft blush to bright rose
Oranges, from warm apricot to glowing sunset tones

We’ll also tackle one of watercolor’s classic puzzles: how to paint white surfaces. Since watercolor is transparent and has no white paint, you’ll learn how to leave the white of the paper showing, work with light washes and shadows, and make white petals, snow, or clouds look bright and real.

No previous painting experience is needed. This class is perfect if you are just starting out, feel confused by color mixing, or want to get more out of the paints you already have.

What you’ll take home:

A personal color mixing chart for blacks, greens, purples, pinks, and oranges
Confidence to mix the colors you want instead of buying more paint
Techniques for painting white and light surfaces with watercolor
