From 39.94 C$ /h

We welcome you to our online course focused on the essential foundations of human motivation. In this exciting educational program, we will explore the pillars that drive our actions, choices, and goals in the daily routine. Motivation represents a vital aspect in human behavior, and understanding its bases gives us the opportunity to discover how to achieve our goals and enrich our emotional well-being.

Throughout this course, you will delve into the intriguing universe of motivation, from its fundamental principles to the factors that influence it. You will learn to discern between the motivation that arises from within (intrinsic) and that which comes from external influences (extrinsic), discovering how our internal desires and external forces have an impact on our behaviors.

A team of experts will accompany you on a journey through the most relevant motivation theories, such as Self-Determination Theory and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, providing you with tools to apply this knowledge in practical situations.

In addition, you will acquire skills to set effective goals and overcome obstacles that keep motivation alive in the long term. You will explore how self-awareness and self-regulation play an essential role in driving success.

This course has been designed both for individuals interested in understanding human motivation and strengthening their personal self-motivation, as well as for professionals who wish to apply these concepts in their interactions with others. Join us on this exciting journey of self-discovery and personal development!

Doctor in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, with a Master 2 in Biology and a Master 2 Pro in Science Communication, I teach my courses on scientific methodology and help writing research papers / TER / thesis manuscripts / internship reports. I intervene indeed on each stage of writing the manuscript by scrupulously respecting the guidelines, editorial requirements, and drafting standards (APA standards in psychology in particular). My courses and proofreading / corrections are aimed at a wide range of university courses (students from a curriculum in psychology, neuroscience, biology, sociology, medicine, international trade, marketing etc.).
In the framework of doctoral or post-doctoral research projects or of Master thesis (1 and 2), I also propose an aid to the writing of research memory in the format (or not) of scientific articles published in scientific journals international. My classes are customized to better meet the expectations of each student. I also offer help in the statistical analysis of experimental data, with a rigorous methodology adapted to your research project. For statistical help, I usually use specific professional software (Minitab type, SPSS, Statistica, Jamovi, Jasp etc.), to conduct the most rigorous statistical analysis of experimental data.

Teaching method: identification of needs and problems, identification of gaps in manuscript writing, participation in scientific reflection, suggestion of innovative methodological tools adapted to the scientific process, optimization of bibliographic research with tools adapted thematic research, coaching & confidence building, specific teaching tools, student involvement, rigorous follow-up, leading advice and recommendations. From my training in psychology, I take into account this essential component during my courses to adapt to the student, identify its shortcomings and thus propose an effective methodology to optimize its memo (written and or at the oral defense).

My teaching method emphasizes the interaction between the student and the teacher with a methodology fully adapted to the student's needs and aptitudes. Course flow

I also offer coaching for the preparation of exams, orals with powerpoint support and help with resume writing, cover letters etc.

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.

► Learn to know your intimate and sexual desires, deepen them, assume them and perceive their meaning, while being aware of your own limits and those of your partner, understand your blockages in order to overcome them, take advantage of the approach socio-cognitive of sexual desire, better integrate the functioning of one's partner, integrate tools / techniques / methods / know-how / key phrases to take pleasure while leaving it to spontaneity & naturalness, improve the link between affectivity and sexual intimacy but also communication with your partner, play (...): these are examples of the objectives of these personalized sessions, in order to ultimately improve your intimate and sexual satisfaction, accompanied by a mediator specialized.

➤ Together, step by step, it's about getting to know each other better (through your past experience, what you like or appreciate the least about yourself / about the other), by analyzing situations in a thorough and pragmatic way. Indeed, this step is essential in order not to orient towards / "tackle" a pre-established model, but to adapt to each situation.

➤ In parallel, from the first session, once the key points are better understood / assimilated, and the objectives gradually defined, tackle, based on your daily life / your experience, the art of sexuality and its subtleties, while valuing the complexity of sexuality and not its complications.

► My mission: to help you understand, analyze, discover and discover yourself to better enjoy yourself, while gaining self-confidence & acting in order to no longer be limited by your beliefs.

➤ If the discretion and confidentiality of the coach are essential, it is therefore a question of offering a tailor-made program / training, following an initial 'diagnosis'.

► These sessions can, for example, deal with how to regain confidence and make you reconnect with a complex but not complicated, subtle but not tangled sexuality, in short fulfilled while understanding the key elements of your own psychology and that of your partner (... ). But also how to strengthen your sexual charisma to unlock your potential and take pleasure.

➤ Objective here again: to introduce concrete techniques / methods which make it possible to communicate easily, in a fluid, efficient and always natural way, while mastering situations.

➤ Non-verbal language, sexualization and avoidance of the friend zone (...): the objective being to demystify these themes in theory and in practice.

➤ Coaching is based on precise questioning techniques, helping the person being supported to find a solution to a problem. At the end of each session, the coachee will master new ways of thinking, actions to accomplish and will have better motivation. Depending on the clients' expectations, the coach can suggest other approaches.

➤ So what do the first individual coaching sessions look like? First, a first exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, the nature of the request and the context are evaluated, a 'diagnosis' is discussed, taking into account your difficulties, your needs, your objective.
Then, it is a question of developing a precise procedure and proposing lines of work. A relationship of trust is gradually established through a benevolent alchemy, where listening, empathy and the absence of judgment are central.

➤ Thus, after having carried out together an initial assessment of the situation, a kind of inventory, it is a question of determining the objectives to be reached, the feelings and the questions related to the situation as well as proposing actions to achieve your goal, resolve constraining situations that stand in your way, using tools that will be offered to you according to your situation to get out of your comfort zone and change your perspective.

➤ The guide then asks questions aimed at exploring solutions aimed at achieving the objective, through experiments and exercises. Through various tools (drawing, role playing, metaphor, visualization, etc.), this questioning helps to change perspective, get out of an impasse in order to explore various options that you might not have thought of. this way, based on tools and experience. For example, it could be a new way of thinking about difficulties or another approach to identifying and considering resolving conflicts or a progression in terms of personal development or in terms of a career focusing always on the development of personal resources and self-knowledge.
At the start of the next meeting, the coachee begins with a summary of the activations and the evolution of the state from the last meeting. This step makes it possible to have an evaluation of the positive points and those which are less so in order to readjust the set strategy.

➤ Concretely, ONE SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the next session in order to overcome blockages or improve self-knowledge.

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.

What is the nature of consciousness? Is there a self? Is the mind identical to the brain? Can life have meaning in a physical universe?

These are big questions that philosophy can help tackle. Together, we will talk about how to understand these questions more precisely, look at some answers, and learn how to approach both questions and answers using critical thinking tools.

Who is this class for? Students who've never taken philosophy, adults who are interested in exploring big ideas, and scientists and entrepreneurs who'd like to learn how to think about these questions in a more rigorous way.

Behavioral analysis uses principles of behavior to solve practical everyday problems. Starting from observations, several hypotheses are put forward, without ever judging, to decode and decipher gestures, words, a way of expressing oneself (...). Based on empathy, these methods allow:
- on the one hand, to understand his interlocutor and to adapt to the situation to effectively transmit his messages and convince
- on the other hand, to improve one's own verbal and non-verbal communication with a verified methodology and very specific techniques

Therefore, it is not only a question of learning to 'decode' the other but also of improving one's skills during oral interventions in public, better managing one's personal/professional communication & the conflicts which result from it, mastering the negotiation techniques (...): your objectives in terms of communication can be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to accompany you to better achieve them. So how do you get a clear message across, make a difference & make an impression?

➤ So, how to listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and make an impression, enhance your content, address your audience effectively and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange / message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, of simple intervention or of 'one to one` exchange, aiming to challenge your audience or interlocutor, by taking care of the substance as well as the form. , all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are various techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience to support pragmatic & concrete techniques, to decode the gestures and behaviors of its interlocutors but also to improve confidence in self, his confidence, his ease by overcoming his embarrassment and mastering his emotion in public. But also to work on his leadership & his charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication.

➤ So, in this context, after having precisely defined your objective & gone through the blockages encountered, here are some examples of themes covered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology:
✓Practical tools to perfect your rhetoric/repartee
✓Decode and use the practical communication tools of great leaders
✓Fundamentals (practices) of eloquence but also of public speaking (intonation, gaze, gestures, elocution, range, emotions, pronunciation, development of one's own style of charisma) to ensure consistency between substance & form
✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing.
✓ Highlighting their speech & promoting their speaking to arouse interest, by building on their strengths.
✓Creation of a coherence between the message emitted & the message received in order to improve its speech and in fact, its professional/personal relations.
✓Management of Q&A sessions & external reactions during an intervention or an oral exchange.
✓Practical tools to put your interlocutor at ease and appear friendly/interested.
✓To succeed in a negotiation/mediation.
✓On the one hand, learning to say 'no' simply in three steps AND on the other hand, getting people to say 'yes'.
✓To turn sentences into positive AND constructive.
✓To manage conflicts (eg 'assertive' communication techniques, eg CNV techniques - Non Violent Communication).
✓To put NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) at the service of communication.
✓To adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language.
✓To use sentences, turns of phrase & expressions allowing to be precise, simple, effective & challenging.
✓To manage your personal & professional relationships with, for example, the preparation of your ratings.
✓Make your hypersensitivity a strength to tame your abilities.
✓Listening proactively and expressing / conveying ideas / message clearly.
✓ Avoid letting your emotions show through and propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills.
✓Be better equipped to recognize and immediately remedy situations that weaken their authority and affect their ability to communicate effectively.
✓Enhance their potential for expression and creativity (often underestimated until now) and 'apparent' sociability
✓Develop not necessarily self-confidence, but the 'appearance' of self-confidence, refine one's listening to respond adequately, open up to the resources of the imagination, free oneself from the rational to then structure one's speech.
✓Relate their communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) to the form of their expression.
✓Learn and put into practice persuasive communication techniques and better understand the perception that others have of oneself. In order to improve his skills of 'self-presentation' and conveyed image.
✓Practical techniques to foster the engagement of the other party.
✓Strengthen the structure of its communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell its ideas and projects.
(...)

➤ To master the keys to successful public communication, it is advisable to reinforce the impact of one's speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the public; by making an impression through storytelling; integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; integrating emotions in the preparation of the message and the arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...).

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

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

It starts with you

When you are not with yourself
and decide for yourself,
others will not be able to learn from you,
how to love you.
They will follow you
and neglect you,
if you neglect yourself.
They will despise you,
as you despise yourself.

You will assume
that their opinion is also yours,
because you don't say yours.
They will ask you little,
but tell you a lot.
They will expect you
that you join in, laugh along, vote along
and do not ask, challenge or deny.

They will treat you like this,
how you treat yourself.
But if you value yourself,
if you take your inner life seriously,
if you listen to yourself
and doesn’t let anyone do anything to you,
then others will learn to respect you,
to honor and love.
It starts with you.
