Single-Session Consultation
A solution-focused coaching session via Zoom or an in-person coaching walk in Paris
“When you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” Rumi
Single-Session Consultation
Single session consultation is a focused, solution-oriented coaching appointment to address a specific issue or challenge in just one session. Unlike ongoing coaching engagements, which may span months, single session coaching aims for quick insights and tangible progress within a short period, making it ideal for clients seeking rapid clarity or decision-making on a particular matter. It can be held either on Zoom or in an in-person coaching walk in Paris.
A coaching walk: to get things moving
Got something going on right now? Do you like walking around Paris? Walking helps clear your head and clear your mind. So how about a walk in the company of a professional coach? How about an express coaching session while walking the streets of Paris to combine business with pleasure?
Have you ever been coached? Essentially, coaching is listening and questioning. No advice, no ready-made solutions. As for express coaching, it is focused on a specific objective or on a defined problem. Punctual, informal and engaging, it does not replace a multi-session coaching, but it can help you open up new perspectives.
The goal of this experience is to visit on foot a lovely neighbourhood of Paris while creating new insight regarding an issue of importance to you.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) said "Walking has something about it which animates and enlivens my ideas. I can hardly think while I am still; my body must be in motion to move my mind."

My Coaching Methodology
Systemic Palo Alto Coaching approach is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth, particularly for individuals navigating complex relational dynamics or organizational challenges.
-
Individuals are regarded as parts of larger systems, such as teams or organizations. The focus is on understanding the dynamic interactions within systems and how these interactions contribute to the issue at hand.
-
The Palo Alto approach places significant emphasis on communication patterns. Coach works with a client to identify and change unproductive communication habits.
-
This approach is practical and solution-focused. Coach helps a client experiment with new behaviors and perspectives to break unhelpful patterns.
-
The approach views challenges as part of normal human experiences within complex systems. The emphasis is on understanding and shifting these dynamics.
-
The coach and client work together as partners in the coaching process. The coach acts as a facilitator, helping the client explore different perspectives and discover solutions that fit their unique context.
Yury Li-Toroptsov
I’m a certified professional coach specializing in designing innovative, tailor-made coaching interventions for both institutional clients and individuals worldwide, including in France, where I have lived and worked for the past 25 years. As a life coach I work with clients who actively search for their place in life, to create an impact. Clients who navigate in two or more different worlds at once. They are multicultural, creative, ambitious, expat, fearless, unapologetically different who at times might feel they lost connection to their authentic self.
My business clients include well-known luxury brands, CAC 40 companies as well as small neighborhood businesses all striving to develop their talent through coaching.
I am also a professional visual artist. I place a high value on imagination and creativity in everything I do. Engaged in a deep reflection on image and imagination, I operate on a cusp of professional coaching, Jungian psychology and applied arts combining creative expression and systemic Palo Alto approach to deliver results.

“I had the pleasure of experiencing an exceptional life coaching session with Yury while strolling through the picturesque streets of Paris. From the moment we began our express session, it was evident that he possessed a deep understanding of human behavior and a genuine passion for helping others. Yury’s ability to create a warm and supportive environment allowed me to open up comfortably. Throughout the walk, he skillfully guided me through insightful reflections, asking thought-provoking questions that led to meaningful discoveries about myself and my goals. I cannot recommend Yury enough for his exceptional guidance and expertise in creating a transformative and unforgettable coaching experience in the heart of Paris.”

“Yury is a very good listener and the feedback is eye-opening.”
David
“Given that you’re reading this review and are considering doing it… think no further. Do it. I’ve done a lot of inner work / therapy / coaching, and yet Yury helped me uncover actionable insights on topics I felt stuck on for some time. Yury is a fantastic listener, thinker, and coach. I felt comfortable with him from the get go, and the walk was a very pleasant route which added to the experience.”
Jesse
“I’ve always been a bit skeptical about the life coach thing, but Yury is the real deal. The walk was beautiful, and somehow in one hour discussed more than I ever thought possible with a stranger. Afterwards, I sat in a park for about an hour contemplating life in the most positive way. If you’re even slightly considering this, do it.”
