Laurent
Founder and Developmental Coach
Roles
We support maturing leaders and their teams to facilitate the courageous transition towards a post carbon world through access to post conventional thinking and being. We meet when they are willing to engage in critical transitions at the individual and systemic level.
With my colleagues and network we join global initiatives to address some of the toughest issues of our times such as climate change and the educational crisis.
My most critical and immediate role is to learn to develop the necessary maturity and lightness to be a conscious father to my daughters and a clueless partner to my wife and our community. This above wouldn’t be without the patient and long term cultivation of grounding and spiritual practices such as Vipassana meditation balanced by sport and creative activities.
My clients and what we learn together
I serve brilliant human beings, leaders, founders of companies with an audacious and multigenerational interest for the community they serve. We engage together in thought individual and collective provoking conversations which liberate their innate leadership performance helping them to address increasing complexity with simplicity and openness.
Quite a few of the leaders, teams and coaches who decide to work with us report significant and surprising transformations in the way they relate to themselves and the world around them. They tend to realize they can be courageously present and that “I can”. Our interactions, the modalities we use, and their continuous personal work give them access to a deeply seated self confidence, liberating their capacity to manifest their most authentic vision in partnership with the diversity available within and around them.
Together we work over varying periods of time on gradually releasing emotional blocks and dissolving perceived mental limitations by designing powerful Leadership Ecosystems. They learn to let go of fear, welcome their creative and relational capacities and manage to hold apparently opposites perspectives, competing timescales with more maturity leading to increased individual and collective performance across multiple bottom lines.

Testimonials about Laurent
Insightful and transformative experience
“Having met Laurent as a Front of Room Leader through Coactive Training Institute, I knew him as a superb and intuitive coach at the outset. Having now experienced his coaching over the past year I honestly can say it is a truly transformative experience. Laurent brought compassion and curiosity, deep and wide expertise and playfulness to all our interactions. Every conversation left me with thought provoking ideas or challenged me to consider my perspectives. I have immense gratitude for his time, patience and partnership. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
Laurent helps you see there is so much more power inside you than you think – no matter how smart you already think you are, you’re only scratching the surface
I’ve been on a steep transformation journey over the last 18 months and hands down the best investment I’ve made has been partnering with Laurent as my coach. The sessions are hard to describe. A lab to explore and dissect, a gym to try out new things, a church to connect with my spirit and my deeper wants. Laurent is intelligent, has a dark sense of humour and a disarming honesty he puts at the service of his clients. The result is a compass and a set of tools that help me navigate uncharted waters. The way I see the world and how I show up in it has shifted and I can trace many of the changes to our coaching sessions.
Power of storytelling and insightful experience.
“I had the privilege and pleasure of having Laurent Vuibert as my coach when I transitioned into my new role at Rogers in Mauritius. After having worked for many years with a large Scandinavian multinational across many geographies, the move to Mauritius was one of the most interesting yet disruptive for me. Laurent took the time to understand my context and me well and helped me with this transition to a new country, a new culture and a new career path. He asked the right questions, guided me with finding my answers, and helped me view things and people from multiple vantage points. His power of storytelling, his insights and his ability to help one discover answers make him of the best executive coaches out there.”
Composure, compassion, and steady energy were felt within minutes of our first meet.
“I had the fortune of working with Laurent as part of my INSEAD MBA program’s leadership development module. His composure, compassion, and steady energy were felt within minutes of our first meet. More importantly, Laurent’s coaching became a large component to re-setting and re-evaluating my future career/life trajectory, which eventually led to my pursuing a long-been-contemplated entrepreneurship path; this is something that I will forever be thankful and grateful for. His capacity to balance giving his clients enough room to think and feel, while continuously guiding them in constructive self-awareness continues to awe me.”
Incredibly valuable eye-opener.
“I met Laurent during my Co-Active Coach training and from the beginning he has been an incredibly valuable eye-opener. Engaging with Laurent gives right away new perspectives but more importantly, Laurent shares a solid methodology to be able to master this skill yourself and continuously grow. He is highly dedicated to support both teams & individual performance, always keeping the collective spirit at the forefront. By supporting & inspiring authenticity, courage and confidence, he contributes to better see the big picture & give clarity to purpose in order to focus on the essential and inspire constructive transformation. Working with Laurent is not about a year or two of changes, it’s about embarking in a complete and long-term transformative journey. Thank you Laurent for your dedication, commitment, authenticity over the past 2 years…and for the long-lasting impact of your coaching.”
Spacious, thought provoking and transformative
“I have reached out to Laurent after I met him during one of the Co-Active trainings. I’ve been drawn to him through his work in the startup space and after we spoke, two things in particular resonated with me: the possibility to experience deep coaching with an experienced leadership coach as well as to grow as a coach through his supervision. Laurent’s coaching has transformed me in many ways; he helped me challenge my own stories and beliefs, he created a space for me to explore topics I was never able to do myself, and he also taught me tools and concepts to grow as a coach. Laurent’s approach is holistic as he’s not relying on fixed frameworks but rather integrating different schools of thoughts, depending on the moment. I deeply appreciate the work we have done together and part with a sense of confidence, growth and accomplishment. Thank you, Laurent!”
When I believe, I can do anything.
“I’ve worked with Laurent for over two years now. During that time, I’ve moved from taking problems into coaching, to seeking growth as a person. Laurent has helped me learn to think bigger and wider and to connect deeply with what I want and what I believe, and this is rocket fuel. When I believe, I can do anything.”
One of the major contributions to my adult development
“Laurent’s coaching, which I was lucky enough to benefit from during one year, is certainly one of the major contributions to my adult development, both personal and professional. As an HR Director, I was all the more sensitive to it because supporting people is also an important part of my job. I have taken some major steps. I was particularly touched by the subtlety of his coaching, of which he knew, with great respect, how to perfectly adjust the rhythm and content to my needs and my personality. Laurent is without a doubt an expert in his profession, his value comes from his extensive experience in coaching, which he combines with a solid and diverse theoretical foundation. However, it is its initial, sincere and profound interest in people and their development that seems to me is its greatest richness.”
