The pattern
Understanding isn't enough
You know something has to change.
You've felt it for a while.
Sometimes for a long time.
And it goes on.
You don't lack intelligence or willpower.
You think. You analyse. You understand.
You've read, you've listened, maybe you've already seen someone.
And yet, in the moments that matter to you,
you feel yourself holding back, standing still, not quite in your place.
This isn't a problem of understanding.
It's a matter of physics. You have to move, literally and figuratively.
You know the way. What's missing is the momentum to take it.
Who it's for
Tempo is for you if
- You hold yourself back, in public, in relationships, in your life.
And you're no longer sure why. - You've built a decent life.
And you wonder whether it's really yours. - You reach the same conclusion every six months.
And it feels like nothing moves. - You want confidence you can feel.
Not confidence you recite to yourself. - You want to move forward for real.
Not talk for months without changing anything.
It's not for you if
- You're looking for a technique to apply on Monday morning.
- You want to talk about your past without changing anything in your present.
- You want to change on the inside without changing anything others can see.
- You can't make time for two sessions a month for six months.
- You expect me to do the work for you.
If you're torn between the two lists, that's what the call is for.
The programme
Six months, two sessions a month, one direction
Tempo isn't a stack of sessions. It's a journey with a beginning, a middle and an end, built so the change holds once I'm no longer there.
The framework below is the same for everyone: the length, the rhythm, the key milestones. What goes into it is built for you, from your situation.
-
Month 1
The framing session, 90 minutes
Where you are, what's really holding you back, and what we're aiming for in six months. We build your programme together, from your situation and your life. You leave knowing exactly what we'll do, in what order, and why.
-
Months 1 → 6
12 one-to-one sessions, two a month
The rhythm does the work. Close enough together that you don't slip back, far enough apart for life to test you in between.
-
2 sessions
2 sessions dedicated to presence
Posture, gaze, the way you walk, the way you take up space. It's what makes the change visible to others before you even mention it.
-
When it helps
Hypnosis when it helps, and your own audio
Hypnosis isn't there to relax you.
It shifts your perception from the inside, and that's what makes it powerful: what seemed out of reach becomes possible.
You leave with the audio of your session. It's your anchor, to listen to again whenever you need to reconnect with that moment. -
Between sessions
Personalised work between every session
Not exercises out of a manual. Things to put into practice in your life, built from your context and where you are, then picked up together at the next session.
-
Every week
A written check-in every week
You write to me, I reply within 24 hours on weekdays. The thread never breaks between sessions.
-
Month 5
A photo shoot in the fifth month
A photographer, you, and five months of work behind you. Not a before-and-after. Pictures of you to take with you, once the road is travelled.
-
Months 3 & 6
Two reviews, at 3 and 6 months
We look at what has shifted, what worked and what didn't, honestly, and without telling ourselves stories.
The method
We work on the inside and the outside
Two perceptions to shift. Yours, and the one others have of you.
On the inside
Everything starts with your perception.
Your fears, your beliefs, your assumptions, what you were taught to think
about yourself. That's what decides what you allow yourself, and it
decides long before you do.
NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis. We're not going to explain your fears and beliefs. We're going to move them.
And MO2i, to reveal the way you act when you're in your zone of excellence. The one you've been applying without thinking for as long as you can remember, and that you deeply enjoy. We don't teach you a method. We find yours.
The day you believe it's possible, that you're capable of it, that it's
for you, you no longer need to motivate yourself.
You move forward, because you can't do otherwise.
On the outside
Your charisma: your posture, your gaze, your voice, the way you walk into a room.
I spent years working on this on stage, as a dancer, and it's exactly
what most coaching leaves out.
Change you understand stays in your head.
Change you embody stays in your life.
What changes
Six months from now
In concrete terms, this is what it looks like.
You're there, and people feel it.
In love, at work, in that project you've been putting off for years.
It no longer takes you weeks to recover.
And enjoying it.
Without regretting it or feeling guilty afterwards.
No need to become someone else.
Just to stop holding back.
One story
Six months later
What follows isn't an interview. It's a conversation between us that we simply recorded, in French: her words are translated as closely as possible to the way she said them.
Spring 2025. Malika has just left her job. A relationship ends.
“I'd reached a point of no return. I was sick of being on the receiving end of other people's emotions.”
“I did 12, plus 5, 17 years of therapy. […] And this time, my life, it changed.”
“It helps you understand your patterns. But if you've got no actions to put in place, it won't change.”
One thing held her back before she started.
“Hypnosis, that's what made me hesitate. I'd been hypnotised once in a restaurant, I'd heard some hardcore stuff.”
What earned her trust:
“Because I knew you. […] And there had already been good feedback.”
“I was sceptical about hypnosis, I didn't want to do it. I did it.”
What she remembers from one session:
“We'd done an NLP session. You had me make a gesture with my hands to let go, I was really tense, I couldn't take it anymore. […] You'd managed to relax my jaw. I could feel the difference in my body.”
Before
“I wanted to be loved. Whatever it took.”
Now
“It's nothing like before. Now, I don't let people walk all over me. […] I don't wait until I've reached the point where I can't take it anymore. […] I deal with it straight away. And most of all, I do loads of things for myself.”
What she expected when she started:
“I just pictured myself overthinking a bit less, while carrying on with the same life.”
She signs up for an intensive dance training course. She even showed her dance videos to her mother.
“She was so proud. […] In my family, we don't say things like that.”
“I met myself. […] That's how you could describe this coaching. Meeting myself.”
What she would tell a friend who feels stuck:
“I'd tell them to look at my life.”
The coach
Trained for this work. Forged by what I've lived through.
I built exactly what was expected of me.
An engineer by training, eleven years in product management at large
companies, lead product manager by the end. A team of more than twenty
people, a budget of more than ten million euros.
From the outside, everything was fine. But only from the outside.
The truth is, I was fading a little more every day.
Until life stepped in. A divorce, a burnout.
You don't need to get to that point to start moving.
At 39, I made dance my profession. The stage. Deep work on myself.
What I discovered changed far more than the way I move.
Fifteen years of dance. Four podiums in international competition,
including two titles.
And every week, a class where I get people dancing who were convinced
they'd never manage it. Some have been with me since the very beginning,
three years ago.
Today, I work with people who have succeeded on the outside and hold themselves back on the inside, over coaching journeys of three to six months.
What I'm offering you, I've been through myself. It's not a pose, it's my path.
Google reviews
They say it better than I do
People I've worked with, who took the time to write.
4.9 from 10 reviews on Google, written in French and translated here. Read the originals
“His caring questions gently shook up my relationship with my image and my false certainties. I learned to let go of how others see me and to stop waiting for outside validation. […] I found a lot of calm in my daily life, but also the energy and the desire to move forward in my life, without procrastinating. Recently this has taken shape as a new, more fulfilling job, and then meeting my wonderful partner.”
“I had become a kind of zombie, just putting up with life. […] From the very first session, he managed to understand, and above all to make ME understand, what my problem was. […] He also used hypnosis to help me really take the leap […] and not just talk about it for hours.”
“An excellent coaching experience, more thorough and in-depth than I would have imagined! Yi helped me see myself and life's events differently, and the coaching dealt with far more than the issues I came for.”
“Yi is very attentive and strikes the right balance between empathy and stepping back. I was able to make progress on my issues thanks to his tailored coaching.”
The framework
The framework, and the price
- Six months. The framing session, then 14 sessions: 12 one-to-one and 2 dedicated to presence. In Paris or on video.
- Six people at a time. That's what leaves me the time and attention this work needs. As a programme lasts six months, I take on one new person a month on average. If nothing is free when you get in touch, I'll tell you when the next place opens.
And if, after the framing session, either of us feels it isn't the right time, we stop there and I refund you.
The six instalments spread the cost; they don't make it a subscription. You commit to the whole programme.
If now isn't the right time for you, that's an honest answer, and it deserves respect.
What's next
How it begins
You request a slot.
You pick a time and answer five questions. Five minutes.
I read it, and I reply.
I confirm the slot, or I tell you honestly if I think another kind of support would suit you better. Within 24 hours on weekdays.
We talk for thirty minutes.
It isn't a coaching session. We see whether it's right, on both sides. If it is, we build your programme at the framing session.
We decide together, and a no, in either direction, is a good answer.
