Why Jean-Marc?

TEDx Speaker | Professional Life Coach | Author

Throughout the first part of my life, I focused on climbing the career ladder and fulfilling my thirst for acceptance, possessions, and traveling. In the space of 13 years, I had explored 25 countries and worked at two French & American corporations while generating over $43M in revenue with my teams/partners. I was feeling great, and according to most, I was living a good life.

However, at some point, that life did not satisfy me anymore. The truth was no matter the depth of achievements; I often felt empty inside. I did not have a purpose and knowing that I was not making a difference made me feel worthless.

This discord compelled me to pursue in Los Angeles an entrepreneurial journey with the goal to ultimately make a positive difference in the lives of others.

After the initial adjustment, I felt inspired to help internationals in Los Angeles. I advised foreign students and expatriates from over 70 countries on innovative ways to pursue careers they love, adapt to the American culture, adjust to the Los Angeles’ Lifestyle and build relationships beyond borders.

But after a sequence of events and choices, I entered a period of reinvention, where I faced adversities, failures, grief, and questions. Eventually, my only option was to return to God and ask Him for guidance. This was the best thing I did, and if I can turn back the clock, it would be the one advise I would give my younger self.

While God was healing me with peace, mercy, and love, I began to pursue a relationship with Him, along with His voice & plans for my life. Rising from the ashes of those life-changing events, I now find meaning in telling my story to inspire and lead others to the pursuit of their God-given purpose. I intend to be a catalyst for seeking encouragement, joy, truth, fulfillment, authenticity, peace, faith, and love.

"My raison de vivre is to inspire young adult men from broken homes to tune into God’s message, so that we can all experience harmony. As a Catholic author, life coach and speaker, I help them avoid the pitfalls I succumbed to and propel them toward their God-given purpose and a meaningful Life."

As a Christian entrepreneur, I bring a diverse educational background with a Master’s degree in Sales & Information Technology Solutions from EURIDIS, France, and a Certificate in General Business Studies and Entrepreneurship from UCLA Extension. My coaching foundation was established at the Professional Christian Coaching Institute (PCCI), an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-aligned school renowned for its world-class faculty and rigorous training. I further enhanced my expertise by earning the CliftonStrengths Accompaniment Training Coach® certification through the Human Formation Coalition.

To broaden my impact and perspective, I have also completed globally recognized programs, including Reach Personal Branding with William Arruda, Communicate Your Way to Greatness with Les Brown, Why University with Simon Sinek, and Live Every Day With Purpose with John Maxwell. These experiences have equipped me to empower others with clarity, confidence, and purpose on their personal and professional journeys.

Described, by my peers as a disciplined, optimistic individual, with high integrity and a global outlook, I firmly believe in listening to and being led by the Voice of God to discover and live out our purpose in life.

After all, I actively volunteer my time across several organizations in diverse capacities: serving as Group Consul for the InterNations Paris Changemakers Group; Co-Coordinator of Barter Coaching for The Communion of Catholic Coaches; Co-Community Manager for the Pôle missionnaire catholique de Montereau; and Missionary Trainee at the École Internationale de la Foi (Fraternité Maranatha). Additionally, for the Paroisse Orthodoxe de Martinique Notre Dame de l'Axion Estin, I contribute as International Purchasing Coordinator, Payment and Donations Coordinator, and remote Parish Web Designer. These roles allow me to support a wide range of communities and causes that are close to my heart.

And, my book, due out in 2025, will chronicle my journey to finding purpose and harmony in God’s voice. My self-reflective story will hold a mirror up to the reader, making them reflect on whose voices they are listening to. It will also leave them feeling inspired to seek, listen and follow the Voice Within above the cacophony of our world.
