Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am Stéphane GELY and I support leaders and their teams. I provide end-to-end support to help entrepreneurs and their teams to:

- develop a leadership posture,

- develop a vision and communicate it to stakeholders,

- make difficult decisions,

- develop team cohesion,

- recruit the right person and support their integration,

- develop employees,

- identify communication problems and implement new ways of interacting,

- develop motivation,

- develop creativity...

Depending on the needs, I can intervene in coaching, collective intelligence facilitation, or training.

Regardless of the intervention method, my style is effective, solution-oriented, benevolent, and challenging when necessary. In fact, my clients sometimes say about me that I am "an alchemist" or "a velvet glove over an iron fist".

The philosophy of my coaching center is "Human Development". For me, humans are the most important asset of a company. And my mission is to help this capital grow. The ROI is often beyond all expectations.

Aventum
Trainer, Coach, Speaker and Manager
EDUCATION AND E-LEARNING
April 2012 - Today (14 years and 2 months)
Toulouse, France
The story of Aventum doesn't start in a garage... but in a guest room. Indeed, when Stéphane GELY created this structure, he worked alone. And he started as a micro-entrepreneur. At the time, it was called self-employment.

Until then, Stéphane has had a rich career in business, mainly in SMEs... and particularly in the service sector. And he was given the opportunity to pass on his knowledge.

And it was through higher education that Stéphane began, before expanding his activities to coaching executives and teams. Indeed, Human Development has been part of the company's DNA since its creation.

Today, Aventum has grown significantly with nearly 4,500 clients.
