« We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.” – Nelson Mandela

You have a key role. This role deserves a partner who is up to the task.

Leading means juggling between strategic vision, tactical management, human leadership and self balance. It means moving forward often alone in a VUCA world, making decisions under pressure, inspiring in the long term.

In this growing complexity, leaders face three major challenges:

• •           👉 Optimize their time to better manage their business or their lives
  •           👉 Strengthen their performance to secure their business and achieve their goals
  •           👉 Being isolated, ith no neutral person to support them in thinking, deciding, making decisions, and arbitrating

For a CEO: increase turnover, secure the business, know how to surround yourself with the right people.

For a senior executive: manage better, deliver on objectives, free up time.

But to whom can you talk frankly about your doubts, without political stakes? How can you challenge your ideas without locking yourself into your certainties? How do you take a step back without momentum?

Welcome to a new way of leading: sparring partnering.
A hybrid support between professional coaching, mentoring and strategic consulting, designed for leaders who want to move forward with method, high standards and serenity.

What you’re looking for

• •           👉 A neutral and confidential space for reflection
  •           👉 Tailor-made support for your leadership challenges
  •           👉 A trusted partner to structure your decisions

My promise to your business

Free up to 20% of your time, speed up your decisions, improve your performance.

«A profile is good. Living it is better.” – Franck Martin

When change becomes necessary, behaviors and mindset must follow.

For companies, this means supporting transformations, strengthening cohesion, managing conflicts, and aligning behaviors with strategic issues.

For individuals, it’s often: going through a transition, changing careers, getting back on the move, or simply stopping procrastinating.

Students looking for guidance, active people reorientating, managers changing positions, seniors preparing for retirement… Everyone deserves adapted, embodied and concrete support.

DISC and MapsTell are not fixed tools. They are powerful levers for understanding, acting and evolving — individually and collectively.

Why beyond DISC ?

Companies are investing in profiling tools… but few really convert them in tangible moves. The reports are distributed, sometimes commented, and then land in a drawer. The teams remain in mutual incomprehension, tensions, misunderstandings.

Though these tools are powerful — provided that they are coached, shared, experienced. As a certified DISC and MapsTell Guide, I moderate individual and group sessions to transform these profiles into levers of cohesion, communication and performance.

An embodied approach, for individuals and teams

Our behaviors are influenced by our environment. We put on masks, in professional as well as in personal contexts. And these behaviors shape our relationships, our communication, our leadership.

With MapsTell, let’s go beyond the DISC together. I offer you a concrete, visual and engaging experience:

• •      👉 Real live moves on the Map of Differences
  •      👉 Exploring Behavioral Styles
  •      👉 Communication, feedback, cooperation workshops

« We don’t sell a product. We build a relationship.  » – Inspired by 25 years of field experience

A lost customer is up to 7 times more expensive to replace than a loyal customer.
And yet, how many organizations neglect the quality of their business relationships?

In a world where every interaction counts, it’s no longer just about selling it. It’s about creating reliable connections, understanding real needs, and building trust at all levels of the company.

With more than 25 years of experience in strategic procurement, complex negotiation and sales, I support you in transforming your business practices into levers of loyalty, differentiation and performance.

Are you experiencing this within your organization?

• •      💬 Customers who leave you without explanation, despite commercial efforts
  •      💬 Negotiations that dead-lock, with no constructive outcome
  •      💬 Teams that don’t speak same customer language, each in their own silo
  •      💬 A business process too focused on the product, not enough on customer’s real needs
  •      💬 A customer culture that is absent or dispersed in the organization
  •      💬 Difficulties in dealing with major international accounts, due to a lack of method or network or preparation

If you answered yes to at least one of these situations, then it may be time to consider tailor-made support to help your business.

I offer you concrete formats, adapted to your challenges, to put customer-centric approach back at the heart of your strategy, improve interactions, and open up new opportunities.

I will make everything possible to…

Make each of your business interactions a moment of clarity, trust, and impact.

I offer you a pragmatic, human and tailor-made approach, based on field experience, active pedagogy and communication tools such as DISC. Together, we align your teams around a sustainable and efficient customer relationship culture.

3 programs to transform your business interactions

🎯 Workshop “Building customer loyalty through relationships”

An immersive day to understand the levers of loyalty, work on the relational key behaviors, and create a coherent customer experience at all levels. Suitable for multidisciplinary teams.

This coaching helps you to better understand expectations, to make exchanges more fluid, and to adopt a clear, constructive, relational behavior aligned with your role.

We work on communication styles, relational behaviors (with the DISC model), and levers of influence adapted to your context: sales, negotiation, project management or customer support.

«In nature, nothing is lost, everything is transformed. And everything regenerates.” – Inspired by the principles of permaculture

Offer your team or yourself a regenerating interlude by hiking a trail, out of the box, in the heart of the living world.

In a world saturated with demands and over-digitalized, leaders and their teams need perspective, cohesion and inspiration. I created my brand Sylvexplore to offer coaching experiences in nature designed as strategic and human journeys, to think differently, reconnect, and move forward with clarity. This regenerating interlude can be organized in places chosen for their beauty and power by Franck: Vosges, Jura, Chamonix valley, South French Alps, Côte-Bleue, Switzerland.

CONFERENCES: moments of inspiration to think differently

These conferences were born from my personal experience: that of a living enthusiast, permaculturist, amateur beekeeper, and explorer of nature since childhood. By observing ecosystems, by growing a forest garden from scratch, by living to the rhythm of bees, I discovered powerful principles — possibly applicable to business, leadership, strategy.

I propose to share these living analogies through two conferences, available independently or integrable into a Sylvexplore event. Moments to think differently, reconnect meaning and action, and open up new perspectives.

🐝 The beehive system: an inspiring analogy for the business world

How does a bee colony deal with complexity, role distribution, resilience and agility? Responses to risks and aggressions over a year. This conference explores the parallels between the functioning of a hive and that of a human organization. A source of inspiration for leadership, governance and cooperation.

Format: 45 min to 1h15 – face-to-face or remote

🌱 Being inspired by a living ecosystem in the entrepreneurial world

Living world do not seek perfection, but adaptation. This conference offers a strategic reading inspired by nature, mainly on the lessons learned from the last seven years on my forest garden that I started from scratch: interdependence, cycles, diversity, resilience. An invitation to challenge business models through the principles of living world.

Format: 45 min to 1h15 – face-to-face or remote
