Bio
Arieh GHNASSIA
If you’re looking for a coach to guide you through your transformation journey, then Philippe is the right person. He concentrated on outlining my primary responsibilities, and his advice was essential to my CEO role in a New countrl (Switzerland). My career trajectory has changed and improved under his guidance, and my self-assurance and skill have increased. Instead of giving me instructions, Phlippe offered assistance and taught me how to assess my abilities, options, and reaction to outside influences. His comprehension of human nature is as strong as his economic acumen. Working with him has made me a better person, and I advise anyone who wants to perform better to contact him. Please get in touch with me if you have any additional inquiries regarding Philippe.

J'ai eu l'occasion de travailler avec Philippe durant quelques mois au cours d'un mandat d'accompagnement d'entreprise et de coaching individuel. Son expérience professionnelle est un apport très riche en expériences, idées, propositions, perspectives qui font que les projets avancent très vite. Son esprit orienté business concentre tous les échanges vers le cœur du sujet : la mission de l'entreprise ou l'individu et les valeurs qu'il porte. Son sens de la provocation amène à examiner tous les points clés depuis toutes les perspectives afin de respecter la structure de l'organisation et les humains qui la composent. Doté d'un grand humanisme. il a toujours le mot juste et sait habilement replacer les choses dans leur contexte. Philippe a l'audace d'essayer de nouvelles perspectives, façon de faire, changements d'habitudes. Et c'est ainsi qu'avec Philippe, l'immobilité n'existe pas !

I have worked for Philippe during my time at Geneva Tourism, where he was CEO. Philippe was an incredible boss to have with very strong leadership skills; some of which I highlight below: - Solution driven - Transforms problems into positive challenges so that it drives the team in the right direction; this is also particularly true in change management situations where Philippe unleashes the power of collective intelligence so that the entire team feels an integral part of the change journey. - Exceptional leadership skills. Philippe excels at knowing how to bring people together to work towards achieving a common goal. - Philippe has very strong interpersonal skills with a clear understanding of cross cultural leadership styles. Philippe motivates and stimulates people around him. He gets to to the heart of the issue and has a lasting positive impact on people he works with. - Creative thinking is his asset. Philippe is comfortable shaking up conventional thinking and coming up with ideas that are totally out of the ordinary. He is very clear in articulating his ideas to the team. - Takes on self responsibility and has very strong principles in supporting the team and the objective(s) put in place. Any organisaton would be lucky to have Philippe as part of their senior management.
