In this episode of Quotient A, I welcome Christine Donati, a professional coach, certified NLP trainer and author, among other things, of “Management à bout de souffle” (“Management Out of Breath”).
A former print journalist, she has managed to reinvent herself several times, turning every transition into an opportunity for growth.
Christine shares a founding moment: the day she chose to leave journalism, not out of obligation, but out of a refusal to become “a bitter old fossil.”
A decision driven by boredom and a thirst to learn.
She gives us an essential key: the richest adaptation is the one where you accumulate knowledge rather than starting from scratch every time.
Her many trainings in NLP, Process Communication, transactional analysis or collective intelligence are not headlong flights, but complementary lenses that cultivate humility and curiosity.
On management, her diagnosis is unambiguous: traditional systems are running out of steam.
Faced with new generations and shifts in the relationship to work, anticipation and agility become crucial. But beware: even when forced, adaptation can become singular.
That is where the real value lies. Not in a uniform response to a problem, but in what you decide to make of it to assert your unique place.
Her philosophy fits in one luminous sentence: “Paradise isn’t elsewhere, it’s here.”
Happy adaptation isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice.
