Navigating Change
I help you regain clarity so you can sense what matters for you and move through change with alignment and confidence.
Career
Together, we reconnect you to what matters so career choices come from clarity, not pressure or expectation.
Leadership
I support leaders in aligning inner clarity with outer action so decisions, presence, and relationships feel grounded and authentic.
Burnout & Overwhelm
I help you slow down, be listened to, and restore alignment so your energy, clarity, and direction can naturally return.
Confidence & Presence
Through deeper self-connection, you develop a calm, grounded presence that allows you to speak and act from authenticity rather than effort.
Communication
By reconnecting body and mind, you regain access to what you truly feel and need — allowing communication to become more honest, grounded, and deeply authentic.
Why Coaching?
Coaching creates a rare space:
a space where you are listened to without judgment, interruption, or agenda. From that space, insight emerges naturally.

Meet Your Coach
My path to coaching didn’t begin with a plan; it began with a question.
During a demanding phase of my professional life, close to burnout, I worked with a coach for the first time. What I experienced was not advice or solutions, but something far more powerful: clarity through being deeply listened to.
That experience changed how I made decisions, how I related to myself, and how I showed up as a leader.
After years in international leadership roles, navigating career transitions and relocations, I chose to follow what had quietly been calling me for a long time: supporting others in their own moments of change.
I have completed my CPCC® with the Co-Active Training Institue® as a coach because it aligns with what I believe deeply — that people are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole.
Hi, I’m Laurent. I’m glad you’re here.

What makes Leap to Yourself different
How we’ll work
you don’t need to be fixed.
Together, we explore what is present, what is said, and what isn’t. I ask questions that help you hear yourself more clearly, challenge you when it serves you, and support you in turning insight into action.
Conversational, not prescriptive
This isn’t about me telling you what to do. I guide the process with questions and observations; you uncover the insights. You leave knowing your next step—not from advice, but from the insights that matter because they come from within you.
Focused, yet human
There is nothing to fix and you are not a project to optimize. We stay focused on what matters most. We honor the reality that growth and change isn’t linear. Sometimes we’ll follow the unexpected thread because that’s where the real insight lives.
Focused on Change
We’ll explore what’s holding you back, discover what needs to shift, and experiment with new approaches that stick. Comfort isn’t the goal — change is.

What my Clients Say
I had the opportunity to work with Laurent Maillefer in one-to-one coaching over the past 12 months. The experience was deeply transformative.
Laurent has a rare quality of listening and observation. His approach, grounded in powerful questioning, visualisation and movement, is both innovative and effective. It helped me step back, gain a deeper understanding of myself, and clarify what truly mattered to me.
He never forces things and creates the space needed to reflect, feel, and move forward at my own pace. The sessions are supported by practical tools that helped me get to know myself better, step out of my comfort zone to express and listen to myself, and refocus on what is essential.
Thanks to his support, I regained focus, clarified my priorities, and achieved a more sustainable balance between my professional and personal life.
Thomas Lemaire, Senior Manager based in Zurich, Switzerland
I started coaching with Laurent at a point where I was doing well professionally, but felt uncertain about some decisions I needed to make.
The sessions gave me the space to slow down and think more clearly, without being pushed in any direction. Over time, I became more aware of what was really important to me and how I wanted to move forward.
I also learned practical techniques that I can now use in many aspects of my everyday life.
Sarah M, Senior Leader based in London UK
J’ai choisi d’aller vers le coaching pour des raisons à la fois professionnelles et personnelles.
Mon travail générait beaucoup d’insécurité, de stress et une forte charge mentale. Je passais également trop de temps sur les réseaux sociaux et les applications, ce qui accentuait cette sensation de dispersion.
Le coaching avec Laurent m’a offert un véritable temps de reconnexion avec moi-même. Son approche m’a permis de mieux répondre aux questions que je me posais, de me recentrer et de clarifier mes priorités.
Aujourd’hui, ce travail m’aide — et continuera de m’aider — à apporter plus de clarté et de présence dans mon quotidien.
