Hey  How do you sum up 5 weeks in the life of a parent?  “Ain’t nobody got time for that” comes to my mind (and perhaps it brought this one back for you too 😀 ).  And it’s not just that it would

Hey  It’s starting to get to me. I’ve been feeling exhausted these past couple of weeks. A combination of parenthood, our big launch week to promote the next evolution of the Coaching Lab, Nelly being on crutches after spraining her ancle,

Hey  It’s still pretty full-on as a new parent in a new environment. Can’t believe how quickly time passes!  Leah is 14 months old this week and already running around like a champion! It’s the age that I was most afraid

Hey  What a turbulent start into the new this has been. Lots of endings, lots of new beginnings. Death seemed to keep knocking on my door rather too frequently these past 6 weeks. Somewhat fortunately, this touched me mainly through

Hey  First of all, and before I potentially lose you in all this content, let me say:Happy Holidays and I wish you the best possible transition into 2023. Here’s my favourite shot of Leah’s first Christmas to make your heart feel a little

Hey <<First Name>> I’ve moved!It’s been a trip! And boy did I underestimate how much of a ball ache it would be, how much it would add to my to-do list, and how little time Leah would leave us to unpack! But

Hey ! It’s time to finally kick off this exciting experiment that I’ve been teasing for some time now. (In case you missed it: shorter & more frequent Nuggets*).  See, back in 2018 these Nuggets started as short and tasty little

Hey  The end of Yannick’s Nuggets? 😱 Let me start with bit of housekeeping: After a number of months getting the backend of my business more organised with the help of Martin, we’re now very close to launching a brand new Coaching Lab

Hey ! We’re back on track!! Yay 🙂 Not without some excellent help though, that is. I gotta say, babies do lead to all sorts of delays. That part of the narrative is certainly spot on! So first of all, a big

Hey ! As you’d expect, becoming a dad has led to a few new insights. For instance, there’s the fact that yes, I tend to create a tonne of projects (a “project-salad” as my new COO Martin likes to call it),

What I’ll be telling my kids  –  It’s not ALL about relationships What will follow me for decades  – How language shapes our minds What organisations can do to waste the power of WHY – Playing the purpose game What made me lose my shit – We

Oh my, what a summer it’s been! I do a lot of “checking-in” as part of a dozen monthly supervision groups and a clear theme has been emerging across most of them: Stretch! It seems that part of what the pandemic caused

  There are two special events I wanted to make you aware of coming up in June and July. If you know someone who you think would benefit from learning about the existential coaching landscape, I’d really appreciate you passing

I’m late. Well not that anybody notices or necessarily even cares about how regularly these Nuggets find their way into the inboxes of the world, but it did matter to me. I had made a promise that every last Friday of

I want to start these nuggets with a pie chart. Because every March since 2005 I’ve been thinking about the day my friend Max showed it to me and until just now I could never find it again. Okay well,

I hope you’re well! The 2nd waves are easing off in most places and I can feel both, a sense of collective hope as some countries have made great progress with their vaccine rollouts, and also a real lockdown fatigue as

What a turbulent start to the new year it’s been! I hope you and your loved ones are doing/being okay in all this. I’ve arguably had much less time to think lately, but whenever I became still, my thoughts included those

The prospect of being able to gain and maintain consciousness during a dream has always fascinated me. I’ve heard stories about flying, threesomes, having tea with childhood nightmare monsters and, more recently, the therapeutic possibilities of lucid dreaming as it

What a trip this has been! And what a trip it still is! Yes, 2020 is officially over! John Oliver blew it up actually. But that’s the thing with time. It’s just a concept that helps us get together and even the

First of all: whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not, whether you were able to spend this time with family and loved ones or you were shielding (them), from the bottom of my heart I wish that you’ve had some time

Feels like it was last week! Feels like ages ago! That’s been the responses I got a lot recently – often both at the same time, actually – when checking in with my monthly supervision groups. 2020 really warped our

Riding the wave. That’s what I’ve found myself saying lately when people asked me how I am. And the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I’m not talking CoViD-19 here, though it’s obviously very much on my

Oh boy did I need a break! I learned a few times in my life that I can stretch myself quite considerably, especially when working on projects that excite me (more on that below), but I do notice the subtle
