Research topics

With degrees in neuro-psychology and behavioral economics and human development, my work focuses on quality of life at school and at work, caring for others by developing emotional capital (work that received the 2006 Prix Cros from the Académie Française and the 2011 and 2012 AFPSSU-MGEN-Elsevier-Association française pour la promotion de la santé dans l'environnement scolaire et universitaire awards) and empowering leadership for educators, teachers, coaches, advisors, and managers and leaders of organizations (education, health, or private companies) to authorize a "bienvivance" at work and elsewhere - a concept and paradigm I've been developing since 2015.
