4 steps
to help you decide
The Let Your Soul Guide You program is structured around a step-by-step process—from formulating your question to putting your choice into action.
Formulate the question that will truly help you make a decision • Is this a dilemma (to do or not to do) or a choice between several options? • Are you getting to the heart of the matter, or are you asking a question that hides another one? • Assess the stakes: the context, what’s at stake, and what the decision entails for you and those around you.
Gather objective information about each option • Identify the people involved, or • Attachments, fears, ambitions, apprehensions: set aside all these spontaneous attractions and aversions to gain greater freedom •
Refocus on what matters most to you • How does this decision fit into your life’s journey? • Does it contribute to something “greater than yourself”? • Identify the guiding principle that will inform your upcoming decision-making • Weigh your options in light of your ultimate goal •
Confirm the choice • internally, through others, through actions • and move on to implementation.

Fruits
You Can Expect
1
Clarified Priorities
What was once confusing has been sorted out. You now have a clear understanding of what matters most to you, what you’re setting aside, and why. Your guiding principle is no longer a vague intuition—it’s a compass you can name.
2
Refined Discernment
A method you can take with you. This journey isn’t a one-time event: what you learn through this experience can be drawn upon at every crossroads, whether in ten months or ten years. It’s an approach, not a formula.
3
A Renewed Commitment
You leave having reconnected with the call of your heart, with what nourishes the life within you. It is no longer a decision made in haste, by default, or to silence the noise around you: it is a deep commitment that sets you in motion once again.
What clients say
Every journey is unique.
Here are a few testimonials to illustrate this.
Déodat Richard
HR VP
I appreciated Laurent’s approach, which is both very rational and structured, yet also incorporates—and this is its strength—emotional, artistic, spiritual, and collective dimensions.
“Let Your Soul Guide You” helped me not only move forward with an important decision but also reconnect with my quest for meaning and fulfillment, and with the creative and fundamentally free aspect of my existence. A huge thank you, Laurent!”
Catherine Duban-Doyard
Coach & Trainer
The supportive environment and approach fostered by Laurent allowed me to let my desires and needs come to the surface, without being misled by the “satisfactory” choices I had tended to favor recently.
Stanislas Desjonquères
Entrepreneur
Are we truly free when we make choices?
Never completely… but certainly much more so after this simple, pragmatic, and respectful journey.
Or how to invest time to gain a lot of it.
Sophie Corbel-Champalaune
Manager
A journey of exceptional quality that helps you align your choices with your ultimate goal. All of this through activities that are both enjoyable and life-changing.
Olivier Mombert
CEO
The program allows each participant to truly gain perspective and broaden their own vision through high-quality daily resources and reflections, as well as patient and supportive guidance from our coach, which facilitates sincere and trusting exchanges with the group of participants. It is an intense, rich, and demanding journey. It allowed me to set aside my need for control in favor of a “reawakening of the soul.”
Catherine Redelsperger
Coach & Writer
The approach proposed by Laurent invites to a great deal of subtlety and works very well. It allowed me to break free from a long-standing sense of loyalty. I used to put pressure on myself before anything even happened. Now, having made my choice, I feel relieved.

FAQ
The structure of the program is based on the “discernment through purpose” approach proposed by Bernard Bougon and Laurent Falque in their books (Discerning to Decide, Practices of Decision-Making, Learning to Choose). This approach is explored in depth and shared within the Institute for Professional Discernment, of which I am a member. It is a secular, modern adaptation of Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises, applied to the professional world.
The daily reflections are not religious in nature. They consist of meditations on works of art, literary or philosophical texts, and videos that, in one way or another, nourish and/or challenge our soul and mind.
Let Your Soul Guide You is therefore a non-denominational journey, in which each participant’s religious or spiritual path is not only respected but also valued.
That said, participants are generally open to connecting with something “greater than themselves.”
Let Your Soul Guide You is designed for a group of 12 participants. Each person comes with a specific question of discernment—an important choice.
Whether it involves preparing for a career change, a decision related to a responsibility, or choosing a place to live, the program will help participants view this decision in the context of a specific personal purpose. Sometimes this purpose is already clear; other times, it will need to be clarified through ad hoc exercises.
The preliminary interview helps assess participants’ motivation and suitability for the program.
More often than not, coaching aims to achieve a specific goal.
Here, each person follows their own path: listening to one’s inner self is full of surprises that are impossible to predict in advance.
The approach is therefore more contemplative, more profound. It can guide you every day, as well as at every crossroads in your life, long after the journey is over.
Allow 2 hours per week for the online sessions.
You’ll be given 5 exercises for each day of the week. They’re designed to take you between 10 and 15 minutes to complete.
You can choose to do them all. However, you’re encouraged to adjust this choice based on your own pace and circumstances: the spirit of this program is that everyone can decide their own level of commitment based on where they are right now.
Let Your Soul Guide You is a journey you embark on alongside other travelers.
An important part of the experience is based on dialogue among the participants. The preliminary interview is therefore essential to determine whether this journey can meet your expectations and whether now is the right time for you to join it.
However, despite this interview, it may happen that after one or two sessions you are not entirely comfortable with the approach and/or the participants. If that is the case (and provided you have participated fully by completing the suggested exercises), you will receive a full refund without having to provide a reason.
