The Regenerative Journey starts Within:

Unleash Human
and Organizational potential

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:

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

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

  • 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.

About

Who do we help?

SME Leaders & Managers

Entrepreneurs, team leads, and decision-makers navigating pressure, complexity, and people-first leadership.
We help them shift from reactive stress to grounded clarity by learning how to hold steady presence, sense what matters, and act with integrity even under fire.

“Our client Natalie was an anxious manager. She became more resilient as she learnt to ground herself in the present moment and to trust her abilities”.

Corporate & Startup Teams

For teams where speed, silos, or friction have quietly drained motivation—Our approach reintroduces human rhythm.
It gives coworkers tools to rebuild trust, hear one another again, and take aligned action without extra meetings or pressure to perform.

“During an online seminar, employees from the government  of Quebec learnt how to give human-centered feedback and how to turn a mistake into a learning opportunity”. 

Peer Leadership Groups

Groups of decision-makers, founders, or coaches who want depth, but are done with over-structuring.
We give them a shared field where reflection sharpens, relational awareness grows, and assumptions get revealed without judgment.

”During a leadership workshop, Green Management School students discovered how to  notice and check their assumptions. They implemented this skill in their professional interactions”.

Common Challenges We Help Solve

  • Fragile trust and low openness in team relationships

  • Leadership roles changing faster than the heart can follow

  • Carrying too much responsibility and running on empty

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.”

Trained in field biology, Agnès grew up observing ecosystems closely. This sensitive and systemic way of seeing became her compass : everything that is truly sustainable is also deeply interconnected, regenerative, and adaptive. Today, she brings this wisdom of the living world into the workplace, as a reality to be reintegrated into our organizations. Each team becomes a full-fledged ecosystem and each individual, a vital part of a moving collective intelligence.

To foster this kind of leadership, Agnès works at the intersection of lived experience, shared awareness, and embodied change. This path led her to introduce pioneering approaches in France such as Authentic Relating, Circling, and Integral practices that awaken, through direct experience, a different kind of intelligence that is relational, emotional and collective.
