Benoit Forest was a key support to introduce changes during my organizational coaching mission with the management committee. He is a very committed human resources director, with a focus on both people and a strong understanding of the business needs of the company, a combination of rare skills. Looking forward new challenges to share.

A few words come to mind when I think of Benoit: empathy, composure, and positivity. I had the pleasure of working with Benoit through the Big Bloom collective and worked with him on several hackathons. Benoit is a very accomplished coach and facilitator who has a knack for rapidly building a positive environment within a team while keeping everyone is motivated and focused. His strong communication skills and calm and caring demeanor allow him to build rapport with participants in record time. It’s been a pleasure working with Benoit in the past. I hope to cross his professional path again in the future.

I worked with Benoit for a number of years and for the last three years we worked closely to help the company evolve and become more agile. Benoit was not just an HR Director but more of a free thinker who helped shape the journey of transition for the company and its people. His strong understanding for the value of innovations helped overcome many barriers in setting up innovation challenges and engaging the employees. Benoit also understood how important is for the management to communicate at all levels and he led a number of initiatives to make such communication seamless and effective. For me personally, working with Benoit was always rewarding given his creativeness and caring personality. I have appreciated his thoughtful comments and suggestions which helped me be more efficient in a multi-cultural environment.

C’était un réel plaisir de travailler avec Benoit, un coach inspirant et motivant qui nous a permis de dépasser nos limites et remporter un des hackathons solidaires organisés par Big Bloom. Une très belle expérience que je recommande fortement!

Uncertain times demand, more than information and clarity, boldness. And taken into account that an organization is people working together, management in charge of these issues must have the skills, capabilities and attitude not only to make things happen but make people know and understand for finally adopting Benoit is a skilled professional, covering the different fields of the human resources area, from recruitment and engagement to benefits and compensation. A thorough manager, approaching in a very discerning way the core of the human capital, starting whit his own team. As a leader, prudent, self effaced but toughs as well and always highlighting the fact that there is only a way things are meant to be done as: a team. The organization that will have the chance to have him on board can expect great things. He is brilliant, curious and avid for new knowledge. Working with him had a real impact on me in terms of achieving beyond.

J’ai travaillé 5 ans avec Benoit au sein de la cellule Habitat Résidentiel de Bouygues Bâtiment Île de France. C’est un RH impliqué et proche des équipes qui me permettais d’avoir à n’importe quel moment un œil différent du mien sur les femmes et les hommes de mon unité, me permettant d’affiner un suivi et une formation personnalisés à chacun. Benoit m’a réellement apporté un « plus » et conforté ou aiguillé dans certaines prises de décision. Un réel atout dans une organisation/direction.

Benoit est un garçon talentueux qui a appris à mettre son savoir, son intuition et son charisme au service des autres. C’est une chance pour nous d’être écoutés, pris en charge puis responsabilisés pour adopter les petits riens qui font les grandes différences. Merci

Coach très bienveillant et performant !

Superbe expérience d’incubation avec Benoit. Benoit est un coach plein d’énergie communicative ! Merci

J’ai pu apprécier le savoir-être et les savoir-faire de Benoit lors d’un Hackaton Biobloom. Il fait preuve d’une empathie naturelle accompagnée d’une intelligence et d’une intuition incroyables. Emuler l’intelligence collective et sortir le meilleur (et au-delà) d’un groupe fait partie de ces grands talents.

Dans le cadre d’un hackaton organisé par BIG BLOOM commandité par LEVENEMENT sur le thème de l’inclusion, notre équipe a eu la chance d’être coachée par Benoit. Ce fut une expérience inoubliable faisant appel à l’intelligence collective. Benoit a géré avec brio & bienveillance les échanges, valorisé les idées de chacun, fédéré une équipe autour d’un projet fort qui a été le gagnant ! Bravo et encore milles mercis Benoit, tu as fait de nos différences une grande richesse !

Benoit was our team’s coach for the Big Bloom Hackathon for good in aid of Reclaim. As such, he had the challenging task of getting 5 people from hugely different professional backgrounds come up with an innovative solution to Reclaim’s substantial challenge (getting businesses to take action to foster a social mobility in the UK). all in just a few hours! He did so brilliantly, gently guiding us through the process with insightful questions, timely nudges, and appropriate thinking and decision making tools, always keeping a smile on and making sure team members truly listened to each other. Thanks to Benoit, our team produced a solution that we were all proud of, which was not a given at the outset!
