COACHING FOR MUSICIANS & ENTREPRENEURS

Some problems don’t
get easier just because

you work harder.

”You may know exactly what’s difficult without knowing how to deal with it. Perhaps creating has become a struggle, or you and your business partner keep having the same conversation without getting anywhere..

 

We start there. I help you understand what’s happening, see strengths you may be overlooking, and find practical ways to approach the situation that make sense for you.”

WHERE THIS APPROACH
COMES FROM

For more than fifteen years, I’ve been making guitars and building a business around something I love. But there was a time when the more I gave to it, the harder my life became. I couldn’t see how to make things better. I came close to leaving lutherie behind. A conversation helped me understand what effort alone hadn’t solved.

 

I began studying psychology and recognizing how I made decisions, handled pressure and related to other people. I learned why so much of my energy was going nowhere and began making changes I hadn’t known how to make before. What I learned changed how I lived and ran my business. It also became something I could offer others: help understanding a difficult situation, recognizing strengths they hadn’t fully used, and finding practical ways forward.

 

My wife, Jacinthe Fortier, is a psychologist. Together, we created Valeur Humaine to share knowledge people can use in their relationships, their projects and their everyday lives. We bring different experience to that purpose, along with a shared conviction: understanding ourselves better gives us more ways to respond to what life asks of us.

“Today, I have a much clearer sense of how to use my strengths. I handle complex situations better, and I procrastinate less.”

— ÉLIE

I work within the limits of my role. Coaching is not psychotherapy, and I will say so clearly when another form of professional support would be more appropriate.
