G8AN?
"The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you."
-Carl Jung-
“G8AN” (G-eight-AN) came about after I got tired of explaining how to pronounce my name as a teenager. Although I don't really care about that anymore, that solution has always stuck: a perfect example of how my creative and solution-oriented brain has been working for years.
Gaetan Dehaese, on the other hand, is the official name. Nice to meet you.
I have worked for many years in the creative sector and media. In this dynamic industry, where the pressure is high and there is a constant expectation to be innovative and creative, I have developed my professional skills and discovered my passion for helping and coaching others.
As I made my way in the creative industry, I not only used my expertise to successfully complete projects, but also to guide people in dealing with stressful deadlines and the high workload. I strongly believed in the importance of creating a supportive environment and providing effective coping strategies. My role went beyond just delivering creative output; it was about helping others grow, prosper and reach their full potential.
During this period I also discovered the power of creative thinking through associations, and noticed that fostering a flexible and innovative mindset not only improved creative outcomes, but also helped to find new perspectives and solve challenges. This experience reinforced my belief that creativity and coaching can go hand in hand to promote personal growth and well-being.
However, my dedication to my job and high expectations eventually took their toll. I experienced two burnouts, which forced me to embark on an intensive quest for recovery. This personal journey has given me deeper insights into the importance of self-care, balance and personal growth. It fueled my passion to help others deal with stress and burnout. My own experience is partly at the heart of my passion as a stress and burnout coach.
With my creative and solution-oriented mind, I am able to design a unique tailor-made trajectory for each and to use a personalized approach. I strongly believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where people have the space to discover themselves, grow and strengthen their resilience.
I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your path to wellness and personal growth.
