Serenity through authenticity
PROFESSIONAL COACH
David Vandepontseele
ABOUT ME
After nearly 15 years working in demanding international environments as a trilingual negotiator, I experienced burnout firsthand.
That experience became a turning point and led me to rethink what truly mattered — both professionally and personally.
Today, as an ICF-certified coach, I support individuals recovering from burnout or mental exhaustion in rebuilding a healthier, more aligned and sustainable professional life.
👉 Helping people create meaningful change through coaching, Ikigai and neuroscience-based approaches.
Do you recognize yourself in one of these situations?
Return to work without falling back into burnout
You have been on leave for several months. Part of you feels guilty… while another part still doubts your ability to “go back into the field.”
Together, we take a step back to understand the root causes of your burnout and build sustainable habits to support your return and prevent relapse.
Reorient your professional path
After burnout, going back to “how things were before” is often no longer an option. You feel the need for change, but you’re not sure which direction to take.
I help you clarify your aspirations, needs, and priorities so you can move forward with greater clarity and peace of mind.
Set healthy boundaries without guilt
Saying “no” feels difficult, whether at work or in your personal life. You tend to adapt… sometimes at your own expense.
I provide you with practical tools to assert yourself with clarity, set healthy boundaries, and stay aligned with who you truly are.
Build a career aligned with your values
You want to turn this experience into an opportunity and create a professional path that truly makes sense to you.
Through Ikigai, we identify together a direction where you can thrive and build long-term fulfillment.

CUSTOMER's VOICE
David truly and naturally embodies the role of a coach. His questions were incredibly insightful, and the points he highlighted were spot on.
I leave this session with a great deal of clarity. I also see all the potential that lies ahead, especially in allowing myself to negotiate and explore possibilities without feeling confined, neither for myself nor for others.
