Yannick is passionate about creating communities in which coaches can connect, grow and learn together. He is the host of Yannick’s Coaching Lab which gives novice and seasoned coaches the opportunity to be a fly on the wall for a live coaching demo, he established the Coaching Cabinet, a free peer support group for coaches, and he is the host of the popular “Coaching Uncaged” podcast, as well as his own podcasts “Talking about Coaching” and “Talking about Coaching and Psychedelics”. His book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching, was published by Routledge.
At ICE, Yannick offers short courses on positive psychology for coaches and "coaching at the edge", which is an invitation for practitioners to explore the boundaries of their approach, engage in ethical questions, and to learn about integration.
Yannick's teaching style is profoundly influenced by being a positive-existential coach, which means that he loves to share ideas and challenging questions, followed by holding a space within which students of all ages can ponder, discuss, wrestle or otherwise engage with new skills or ways of thinking, and integrate what they learn into their existing worldview. Yannick always aims to inspire and encourage groups and individuals to engage themeselves and each other, in pairs, small breakouts and as part of large groups or audiences, so that we grow together. After all, we grow through conversations, and through being in relation.
