“We were taught to succeed before we were taught to feel. Real leadership begins when we reverse that.”
- Gilles Chatelin
Coaching beyond performance. Toward presence. Into truth.
No quick fixes. No productivity hacks.
Most executive coaching skims the surface with tactics and playbooks.
Gilles works deeper.
After two decades at the highest levels of global business — leading international teams, navigating pressure, and wearing the mask — he learned that performance is only half the story. Presence is the part most leaders were never trained for.
His coaching isn’t about pushing harder or adding noise.
It’s about creating space — so leaders can see clearly, uncover blind spots, and reconnect with who they truly are.
Gilles lived what many leaders hide: results on the outside, disconnection on the inside.
He walked through collapse and recovery, the kind that rewires identity and reshapes how you lead.
Most coaching tweaks behavior. His rewires the source — the old stories and survival strategies that keep leaders performing instead of leading.
How Gilles works with Leaders
1:1 Executive Coaching
Real conversations, not performance scripts. These sessions are designed for leaders who are done pretending and ready to see themselves clearly. Whether online, in person, or in real life settings — Gilles creates space to slow down, uncover blind spots, and reconnect with the leader beneath the mask.
Leadership & Team Workshops
Beyond team building. Into truth. Forget trust falls and productivity hacks. Gilles works with teams to surface what usually stays unspoken — the patterns, tensions, and dynamics that block connection. Through presence-driven facilitation, he helps groups cut the noise, build real trust, and move forward together.

Beyond the
Office
Because transformation doesn’t happen behind a desk.
From walks in nature, to off-site retreats or quiet corners of a hotel lounge, Gilles brings coaching into spaces where people can drop the armor. These settings invite leaders to access clarity, perspective, and breakthroughs that traditional boardrooms rarely allow.
“Real leadership begins when the noise ends.”
The Depth Behind the Work
Most coaching focuses on what leaders do. Gilles focuses on what shapes who they are, and how they lead in a new era.
His approach integrates insights from systems psychodynamics, organizational and group behavior, and the Person–Role–Organization model. That means he doesn’t just work with the individual — he works with the invisible forces at play between the self, the role, and the larger system.
Self — the patterns, emotions, and histories that silently drive behavior.
Role — the expectations, pressures, and masks leaders wear.
System — the unspoken dynamics and power structures of organizations.
This layered approach helps leaders and teams see what usually stays hidden — and unlocks transformation that lasts beyond any quick fix.
This isn’t just personal growth — it’s the skill set the next era of leadership demands.
“The future of leadership won’t be built on tools and tactics. But on the courage to face what’s beneath them.”
Who Gilles works with
Gilles doesn’t work with everyone. He works with leaders who’ve realized that success alone isn’t enough. Leaders who can deliver results, drive change, and hold the pressure — but feel the weight when the noise stops.
Executives facing invisible roadblocks they can’t push through
Teams navigating transformation, fatigue, or complexity
Leaders seeking more than results - clarity, humanity, and presence
This isn’t about adding more tools, pressure, or performance hacks. When strategies and titles fall short, what’s needed is truth, nervous system awareness, and real human connection.
It’s about creating space for what’s real: leadership that transforms not just results, but people.
“The leaders Gilles work with aren’t looking for tips. They’re looking for truth.”
Real Conversations, Real Shifts
"Life changing."
After years of trying to think my way out of corporate obstacls, I finally met someone who helped me feel my way through it. The process wasn't neat or predictable, but there was always this steady, calm presence.

Long lasting changes
Sometimes to get long lasting changes you need to get out of your comfort zone. Gilles helped me with that, while feeling safe and listened to. Amazing guide to go through challenging experiences.

I became more self aware
I had no idea how self awareness impacted people, and that I had none. I learned with Gilles to notice how my emotions affected my behavior and my role, and how this impacted the rest of my team. Now I am more in control and the energy flows more naturally at work.

I didn't know who I really was
I didn't know how much i had to learn about myself and how much that plays in how I show up in my position. The role I pretended to have, and my personality that I tried to hide. Now I am aware of who i really am and that has a ripple effect in my organization.
