  • Nov 2012 - Present

  To be successful over time, companies need to be coherent. Corporate culture is the framework, the compass that enables this alignment. The role of leaders is that it is embodied operationally by everyone. The Harmonists, true sparring partners, coach you to achieve this efficiently and grow your company harmoniously. Imagine that 100% of energies are used in the same direction... Harmonists support organizations to: - solve a major issue (ex: too many departures) - take it to the next level - scale up - create a strong collective dynamic - clarify the corporate culture - coach managers and teams - facilitate the taking up of a new position - facilitate the success of a financial operation - avoid a culture shock - achieve a successful transformation The Harmonists are a collective of independent experts, federated by B-Harmonist, and dedicated to the harmonious development of companies. • We are initially managers of companies, ranging from SMEs to CAC 40, trained in coaching, • Addressing the company as a whole: HR, organization, business, leadership, finance...like real "sparring-partners", • Experts in corporate culture and business alignment since 2012, • Having the reflex to always adapt to your culture for solutions that are 100% you, • And "Swiss Army knife" : alternating the postures of coach, consultant, facilitator and trainer...always with energy and a smile! My role as co-leader of B-Harmonist is to develop its commercial outreach, to animate the Harmonist community, to facilitate knowledge sharing and to train about our specific approach. Testimonial: "Harmonists have the ability to lay down the fundamentals, which allows us to build and develop the company efficiently and serenely" Damien, President of Letsignit More information? patrick@b-harmonist.com Show less
