Innovation Circles – The program to create an authentic startup

Create a startup that reflects who you are.
Make decisions quickly and with purpose.

Turning a vision into an authentic startup.

This 3 to 6-month program is designed for startup founders or innovators with projects ideas who wish to create a company deeply aligned with their values, while structuring their approach with clarity, method, and agility.

It’s not a classic accelerator.

  • A monthly one-on-one support to anchor your progress and address your specific needs.

The Pillar of Innovation: a unique approach

In this program, you are not “coached” or “directed” — you are supported.

I accompany you as the Pillar of Innovation, combining:

  • human listening and entrepreneurial agility,
  • deep intuition and strategic rigor,
  • systemic vision and concrete action.

Alignment is our starting point and our compass.

I help you build a project true to what matters to you, while integrating the tools that allow it to grow sustainably.

For whom?

 

  • Startups in the early stage or pre-MVP phase
  • Impact-driven project leaders or those with a strong human dimension
  • Entrepreneurs looking for a business model aligned with their values
  • Collectives or co-founders who want to build on solid, clear, and shared foundations
  • Entrepreneurs who have already gone through the “four seasons” of a project — the enthusiasm of spring, the intensity of summer, the assessments of autumn, the doubts of winter — and who now feel the need for a new impulse, deeper, more aligned, more innovative

 

📞 Interested?

 

Innovation Circles are offered throughout the year, for startups and innovative projects seeking clarity, structure, and alignment.

Each circle is dedicated to a single startup, its founding team or its project leader.

It is a tailor-made space designed to support your vision, renew your momentum, and move your project forward with meaning and impact.

Do you feel it’s the right time to structure your idea, test your concept, or revive momentum?

THE BOOK

couverture-200x300

My book, ““Être à sa place”“(Being in One’s Rightful Place), was born from a personal and professional journey that deeply transformed me.

It lays the foundation for the approach I now offer in the Cercle d’impulsion..

Within it, you’ll find a dynamic reflection on inner alignment, clarity in decision-making, and relationships with oneself and others — , all essential elements for creating a meaningful and sustainable business..

The book also includes over 50 practical exercises to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and coherence.

I share a vision of work and business that is more human, and more conscious,, where performance emerges from the alignment between what we do and who we are.
