About JCL Coaching
Life puzzles, life balance and leadership at the center of sustainable, unique and diverse human relationships and a sustainable society.
My name is Jean-Charles Languilaire and I am a work-life coach and educator. My interest in personal and human development as well as leadership with a focus on life balance is linked to the roles I have as a coach & consultant, researcher and business economist educator.

Balancing the puzzle of life: My philosophy, methodology and vision with JCL Coaching
As a researcher, coach, and educator, I see life as a puzzle consisting of many pieces that need to harmonize with each other. In other words, many of us, including myself, strive for a perfect life, where we balance all our responsibilities and tasks in our daily lives. I do not believe that there is a universal definition of a perfect life that we can achieve through personal development. Instead, I believe that each of us, every day and week, create our own lives. At every moment of life, we work with this puzzle and experience life's challenges as an ongoing process. Sometimes the pieces fit together, sometimes they do not, and then we need to adjust and reshape to make the whole thing work.
Their view on life balance without solely starting from work and family as puzzle pieces.
Their life balance needs as a combination of integrating and segmenting puzzle pieces.
Their strategies for a harmonious life puzzle beyond traditional time/place planning and management.
Their view on leadership and themselves as leaders as a resource to define, implement, and maintain strategies for a harmonious life puzzle.
With the support of my background above, I take well-being, life balance & life puzzle to the next level for both individuals and organizations. I see organizations and individuals as a whole and therefore transfer all my knowledge, understanding, and values to JCL Coaching. JCL Coaching enables, empowers, and prepares individuals for better well-being aligned with UN goal 3. JCL Coaching supports organizations to develop and perform sustainably aligned with UN goal 8.
My co-active methodology is about increasing your awareness so that the puzzle of life can flow naturally towards success. Co-active is a methodology where, with the help of various tools, supports changes in people's lives, where you and your inner resources are at the center. Co-active is about creating a relationship, access, and connection (Co) with your inner resources. Co-active is also about creating a connection with your inner resources through reflection and interaction with your coach. It's about BEING here and now. In addition, Co-active assumes the ability to take action, to think ahead and be active by making decisions to evolve on your journey forward. It's about DOING. Finally, co-active connects BEING and DOING (-) so that the person you are aligns with your actions.
With the help of co-active methodology in all my services, I want to help you and your organization discover who you are in this life process, what you love and appreciate, and learn to breathe through life's challenges. With the help of co-active methodology, I am here to support you in being yourself, loving, and breathing through life's puzzle.
Together, we can find the flow in your harmonious life puzzle in terms of life balance and leadership. Let's start this journey together so that you:
- can easily BE yourself in your life puzzle
