A journey from engineering to the human element, guided by the quest for meaning and transformation
I am Daniel Zahnd, a guide in human and relational transformation.
For over 20 years, I have been helping individuals and groups function better together, clarify their communication, and create healthier, more effective, and more aligned working (and living) environments.
My career began in the technical field: after graduating in microtechnology from EPFL, I initially worked as a development engineer, then, after postgraduate studies in logistics, as a project manager in complex technological environments. For two decades, I coordinated multidisciplinary teams and led major projects with rigor, method... and a passion for continuous improvement.
But gradually, it was the human dimension that challenged me. I undertook a career change motivated by the desire to support people rather than develop machines. Training in benevolent management (MBA type) opened new perspectives for me, and I then completed this journey with a certification as an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) coach, both classic and New Code, leading toward a new form of programming: that of thought patterns, emotions, and relationships.
My support is based on three pillars: respect, communication, and systemics. Developed here.
I do not give ready-made solutions: I help you find them within yourself... sustainably.
French is my native language, and I am nearly bilingual in English, allowing me to provide services in both languages.
Depending on the challenges, I integrate tools drawn from non-violent communication, mediation, collective intelligence, systemic coaching, practice analysis, and professional co-development.
My role: to create the conditions for people to regain confidence in themselves, in others, and in their future.
