Hello there!
First of all, I'm just a human, like you.
​
​You can call me: Robert!
​
If you want to know me a little better, I invite you to read the following sections: My Story, My Motivations and What I am not.
My Story
Following my Doctorate & Engineer's Degree in Computer Science & Applied Mathematics, I have been working in Software Project Management and Business Transformation, in a large company in the aeronautics industry, for more than a decade. You can consult the details of my career on my LinkedIn Profile.
​
But this is only the beginning of the story, as I am currently training to become a Professional Singer, in addition to my activity as a Mentor. If you want to listen to my recordings, you will find me on YouTube under my alter ego, Robbie Alexander.
​
To put it simply, I am a polymath, who is interested in a multitude of subjects that I deepen according to my level of curiosity!
My Motivations
When everything is going well, all's good! Except when this is just an illusion!
Despite behaving as a model student with regards to social expectations, life decided that it was still necessary to teach me an important lesson, by having me experience a burnout.
Despite the psychological and physical suffering felt at that time, now - several years later, I can admit that it was a necessary and transformative rite of passage, in reaction to a lifestyle that no longer suited me. I felt as if I had awaken from a deep sleep!
This event left me with some deep scars. I know that I will no longer be able to do certain things that I used to previously achieve without the slightest effort. But I know that the things that I decide to do, I will do them my way!
​
During my burnout, I was also identified as being Intellectually Gifted, after taking the WAIS-IV (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale | Fourth Edition) test. This peculiarity can be transmuted into a great strength, if we work to truly embrace it and use it to our advantage. I gradually began to accept myself as I am: unique and different! We all are!
All these changes have allowed me to become aware of the help that I naturally brought to the members of my entourage (friends and work colleagues) and of the joy and feeling of usefulness that I received in return. Now is the time to share this experience with a wider audience! Let's play!
What I am not…
I am a Mentor, I am not a Life Coach. The latter works as a guide, so that you can find your answers to the questions you ask yourself on your own. A Life Coach will not give you their answers directly. It is on this aspect that my practice of Mentor is different, because it includes an active participation on my part in your project.
I will not hesitate to offer you solutions to explore and put into practice together or to give you examples of paths to avoid. It is through this sharing of ideas that we will address the issue that interests you, in a targeted and results-oriented manner. You are free to use these tips, to inspire you to turn them your way, or to ignore them (one less track to consume your energy).
​
Nor am I a medical or paramedical professional. My advice does not constitute medical advice. Accordingly, my offer does not include any healing objectives.
​
If I feel that the help you are asking from me is beyond my abilities, I will not hesitate to direct you to another type of support or to offer you a short bibliography. In any case, I will put my analytical skills and my empathy at your disposal!
