Arnaud Rioche | Sparring Partner

Consultant

Sparring Partner

I help Leaders, Managers and Entrepreneurs to clarify their vision, and to become aware of the real issues that are not necessarily expressed by the teams or visible from the inside. My approach is based on the establishment of a mutual trust, benevolence, and the search for the truth of the situation through the contribution of an external viewpoint

Let's talk

Why I could be your partner of trust

Transparency

A Sparring Partners relationship will be most successful if it is conducted in a transparent manner. The mutual trust is therefore a key element of success and must be established from Day One

Kindness

Sparring Partner should not be judgmental. The facts must be looked at with kindness and calm. It is necessary to challenge, but with a view to finding the right solution, as a team and with serenity

An external look

Being outside the organization allows you to remain neutral, dispassionate and to keep the necessary height to see the issues as they really are. And to consider solutions that really work
