Everything starts with the program which is the opportunity for a wonderful encounter; everything continues with unexpected sensations, magical moments and benefits in daily life… but nothing ends because W&L opens up a horizon measured in years, possibly decades. The benefit of the 4 days of the Flex Mind training and of regular practice encouraged by our trainers can be felt very quickly, especially in periods of overload and stress.

Laurence G.

Head of Risk, Bank Sector

My experience with Ways & Lore was born out of a desire to rebalance my private and professional life choices by no longer being a victim of a lack of vision on what is essential.
In the professional field, first of all, the tools provided by Laurent Dupeyrat allowed me to adapt to a change of stance in my professional responsibilities from operational boss to executive advisor.
This path corresponded both to a necessity imposed by the type of position but also to a deliberate career choice. Putting the change into perspective and distancing myself from the emotion obtained through the practice of Focus is a remarkable element in reinforcing the effectiveness and accuracy of the executive decision-making process. It also results in a very great serenity in the face of conflictual, complex or tense situations, itself a factor of efficiency and correctness in actions or reactions to emotional or deliberately aggressive behavior. The others, as can be seen, feel the strength of this serenity, which provides a superior force of influence on their behavior.
From a personal point of view, it is the same height of vision, the same distance without detachment that allowed me to free myself from what was encumbering me in order to move forward, leaving behind what had to remain behind: people or experiences. You get an incredible lightness from it, which allows you to fly away to new projects without losing, however, the benefit of what the past has brought you.
One amazing thing that I also discovered and still leaves me amazed today is the control over pain and even illness, and this is something I would like to explore further in the future.
Last but not least for me, in the personal domain, Focus has brought me a discernment in the choice of those I want to surround myself with: chosen people, my horses…
So my journey won’t stop there and I intend to continue the path further with the support of Laurent.

I took the Flex Mind program. These techniques, simple to integrate into daily professional life, have given me great stability in periods of strong professional changes. I develop a clear vision of the strategy to be implemented and serenely accept the time needed to develop any new activity.

Laurence J.

Director, International Consulting Company

I took the Flex Mind program. The benefits that I have received from it go far beyond my initial expectations:

Greater stability, especially emotional stability, and the ability to manage my priorities by focusing on the essentials.
A much broader field of reflection, which makes my judgment much better when dealing with people and situations, which has strengthened my self-confidence and relaxed me in the face of uncertainty (e.g. I am much more relaxed before approaching a high-stakes business meeting, less focused on a “narrow” objective and much more in a situation of welcoming and co-constructing the opportunities that may emerge).
A much better ability to concentrate and focus: I finally listen to people… and I listen to myself.

Michel J.

Partner, Strategy Consultant, Banking & Insurance Sector

Dear Ways & Lore team,

I have just been chosen following an extremely competitive bidding process to support a very demanding client on a strategic issue.

I can’t resist the urge to share this success with Ways & Lore, because it is undoubtedly thanks to the Flex Mind training that I have reached this result today.

Flex Mind has allowed me to be creative, differentiating us from the competition; all my team’s ideas and inclusive potential brought the best of our collective intelligence; I was also relaxed and “radiant” for pitches, always listening, the right words and the required expectations were there at every moment, and at the right time throughout the process.

Before the Flex Mind training, I would have no doubt been conventional in my approach, hesitating, stressed by the fear of failure, having a rigid approach… and so on to the path to failure.

The last pitch yesterday was decisive: for my part, knowing that I was in the final against another serious contender, I was still relaxed, listening, in search of creative solutions, stable, confident… and magic has happened.

Thanks Ways & Lore!

Martin J.

Leadership Consultant, Global organizational consulting firm

The Flex Mind training is extremely rewarding, both professionally and personally, and concrete in its use of numerous exercises in the meditation practice.

Positive impacts and changes from the practice are quickly evident and perceptible in everyday life.

The possibility of individual weekly follow-ups during the months after the training, is undeniably high in added value. Questions do not remain unanswered, and the daily individual practice of meditation is enriched accordingly.

Benefits:

I work better because I can concentrate more.

I work with more fun because I am present in what I do.

I feel less oppressed by the many e-mails and urgent requests I deal with now, and handle them with increased serenity and distance.

As I work in a constantly restructuring professional environment, thanks to Ways & Lore training, I am much more relaxed with uncertainty. I feel stable now.

Nathalie D.

EMEA Financial Controller, International industrial group

I followed the Flex Mind training. I enjoyed the progression between the 2 modules and the follow-up given by the consultants.

Practicing regularly is a constraint, but you get to like it very quickly! I take the opportunity to practice triple focus during my regular trips by public transportation in the morning. Which goes to show that a little noisy and turbulent environment is not necessarily incompatible with the practice of focus!

As far as I am concerned, the main benefit of this practice is better stress management, greater serenity on a daily basis, the learning of the right distance to keep in the working life with all its issues.

Antoine C.

Head Compensation & Benefit, International industrial sector

Thanks to the Flex Mind training, and with 6 months of regular practice of meditation (10 to 15 minutes per day), I can see precious benefits emerge, which will require consolidation and development over time.

In summary: I feel more serene in my daily life thanks to a deep inner confidence, which gradually establishes itself.

3 examples

A more important emotional distance in every situation while remaining very present in the action, thanks to greater inner stability and a broader vision
Greater freedom in decision-making and public speaking; and thus an ever evolving way to communicate
An increased physical recovery thanks to better use of my energy.

My feedback on the training:

The training has a good tempo and is very fluid, allowing progressive appropriation of Ways & Lore meditative techniques and fast-emerging first positive signs
The quality of teaching and feedback with Laurent Dupeyrat allow me to become aware in successive steps of how I work and interact with the external environment. This is the key to having a clear broad vision and to making rightful decisions
Repetition of the meditation exercises along with feedback during the training days, eases the personal daily practice between the workshop sessions: individual practices that are supervised by Ways & Lore consultants through a personalized weekly feedback.

In summary, pleasure and efficiency from this very fine quality training.

Laurence G.

Large Corporates Managing Director, Investment Bank

I took the Flex Mind program. At first, this tool allowed me to highlight the points I needed to work on to be more efficient. I then structured my activity according to the time of day. For example, the morning is more conducive to creativity, which allows me to find original ideas to stand out from the competition.
I also realized that my lack of hindsight in relation to daily events pushes me to work in “autopilot” mode. This awareness thanks to this tool has allowed me to take new paths and thus work on new approaches. This makes my activity more lively and allows me to adapt according to the conditions.
“Knowing how to use one’s work capacity to be efficient without forcing” is an important point to develop in order to be constant in one’s activity.

Pascal B.

Key account Commercial, Health sector

The Digital Mind program is surprisingly simple to use: in 15 days, 10 minutes of daily concentration allowed me to realize the impact of the smartphone on my mental and physical state, and at the same time to set up the solution for a more serene use. Result: I better integrate the incessant back and forth between the different screens and my daily tasks, thanks to a concentration that no longer jumps. More efficient, more relaxed, I feel much less drained at the end of the day, and my relationships with my colleagues are much more fluid and pleasant! My challenge today: to continue these exercises until this concentration becomes natural.

Nils D.

Project Manager, Sustainable Habitat

Ways & Lore techniques and their regular practice have helped me to focus on the fundamentals in complex situations with greater clarity, and helped me to deal with stress in difficult situations. This was very important for me as an entrepreneur being active in different startups that involve a high degree of uncertainty.

Peter H.

Entrepreneur, Biotechnology sector

One year after the Flex Mind program, I had the chance to take the Transformational Mind program.
Complementary, it gave me the keys to develop a more precise feeling of my inner state and a real ability to be present to the multiplicity of external information.
After regular practice, a simple reminder in complex and uncertain situations allows me to regain a confidence without object, which has the effect of both lowering the level of tension but also of being more intelligible in the message, able to carry the adhesion and element of stability for those around you.
Very necessary in these times of change. The training continues. Thank you!

Mareva B.

Project Manager, Public Administration

In today’s society priority is given to deal with the outside world in which we live. But what about our inner world, our thoughts, and our mind? Are we forced to endure them or can we control them? Ways & Lore tells us with great clarity, and lots of practical exercises, how to understand the mechanisms of our mind through Focus practice. Obviously, each one of us has our own keys to access this and must work to observe his own mind and to discover the deep serenity present behind our superficial mental agitation. Even if we are told that meditation has one of its main roots in Buddhism, its teaching is completely secular. I strongly advise all those who wish to understand the function of their mind and who want to live authentically every moment of their life, to follow Ways & Lore training courses.

Frederic M.

Dental surgeon, Private sector

Very interesting training for those who want to practice meditation in the true sense of the word.

Essential theory and practice for understanding the mechanism of meditation and to practice it with confidence and conscience. Ways & Lore consultants take time to clearly describe the process and origins of meditation and transmit it through living inner individual experiences.

Aline Le P.

Private Nurse, Public hospital

I am now 56 years old, and I suffered a stroke in 2006. In order to better adapt to my disability, I followed the Meditation & Health training program moderated by Mr Laurent Dupeyrat, Ways & Lore Director of the Training Program, at the Bergonié Health Center in Bordeaux. There were three introductory three-month modules. I am particularly satisfied with the quality of the training and the method of work, including a gradual individual follow-up, and allowing personal progression. Already having some experience in the altered states of consciousness (hypnosis), I highly recommend this training because it provides independent and individual progress which can be supplemented by other programs. I practice every day and hope to follow this path as long as possible.
