Work and Lead
Through Nature’s Wisdom

Présence Authentique

Regenerative Leadership
Inspired by Nature,
Strengthened by Inner Work

At Présence Authentique, we believe that the Regenerative journey starts within. We specialise in the human component of the Regenerative approach. We also acknowledge with humility the immense wisdom of the natural world and remember where we come from. Nature holds powerful lessons about resilience, collaboration, and adaptation – all of which are crucial for today’s leaders and teams.

Our approach is rooted in three core principles:

  • Biological & Systemic Intelligence
    Learn from nature’s principles of balance, regeneration, and interdependence to guide leadership and team dynamics.

  •  Inner Development for Outer Impact
    Build self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and relational depth to cultivate authentic leadership and thriving organizational cultures.

  • Science & Experiential Learning
    We integrate the latest research on neuroscience, physiology, and psychology with hands-on practices to create lasting transformation.

We believe in creating workplaces that are fully human spaces where people can thrive, belong, and contribute meaningfully. Our mission is to help leaders develop self-leadership and intentional cultures that drive positive impact beyond the individual.

The journey of inner transformation for outer change is deep, brave, and incredibly rewarding – and we are here to guide you through it.

More about the founder
Agnès Candiotti, Ph.D

The core values guiding my work are Deep Presence, Heart-Centered Connection, Authenticity and Freedom. My mission is to create safe, experiential spaces where people can honor their full humanity, reconnect to their inner wisdom, and lead with clarity and courage.

I have facilitated 100+ workshops, indoors, outdoors or online.
I have given 200+ hours of individual coaching.

I grew up in the French countryside, spending most of my free time outdoors. Nature has always been my strongest source of nervous system regulation, inner stillness, and clarity. During my PhD, I spent months in primary rainforests, tuning into the rhythms and intelligence of the ecosystem. These experiences shaped the way I view the world, as a deeply interconnected system where every being plays a role.

As a biologist, I approach leadership and human dynamics systemically. Psychological safety, belonging, and contribution are not just workplace concepts – they are universal needs, deeply rooted in our nature as human primates. As a certified coach and professional facilitator, I integrate cutting-edge scientific insights, mindfulness, and relational intelligence to help leaders and teams navigate complexity with clarity, wisdom, and authenticity.
