What you are looking for is already in you. Chasing, forcing and performing are how we lose the connection to it. Reconnect, and the outside follows.
Sébastien Roger is a speaker, facilitator and coach exploring what it means to be fully alive.
I'm Sébastien Roger, a speaker, facilitator and coach. I help people stop chasing and reconnect with what lights them up, so the work that is theirs can finally move. I was an engineer for thirteen years before I became an actor, a filmmaker and a musician. I speak twelve languages, I have given four TEDx talks, and I live in Barcelona.
I was born in France to an Argentine mother. As a child we moved, and nobody at my new school knew me. I had a very lonely childhood, and I spent years looking for a place to belong.
I looked for it in many lives. I was an engineer for thirteen years. Then an actor, a language teacher, a filmmaker, a musician. I picked up the guitar at twenty and was on stage with a gypsy jazz band two months later. I made a documentary about music played in a circle, and it premiered at festivals around the world. I hitchhiked through dozens of countries and learned twelve languages on the way. Every reinvention was a way to be understood.
Then came a hard stretch, and a surrender. And I found what the whole journey had been pointing to: what I was looking for was already inside me. The day I let myself listen to myself, the truth was there.
That is the work I do now, on stages and one to one. I help people stop chasing and reconnect with what is true for them. I don't teach anything I'm not practising, and I can only offer the transformation I have lived.
Over twelve years I have given four TEDx talks, led workshops for hundreds at Mindvalley, and run circles, retreats and men's groups. Today I live in Barcelona, in El Born, where I host gatherings and work with people one to one.
Most of us aren't short on ambition. We're short on aliveness.
The kind of aliveness you can feel in a room before anyone says a word. I call it the spark, and I can see it in the eyes.
Hustle, forcing, "more, and for what", proving. A big vision that isn't moving. Results without the inside are wind.
Settling, saying yes to what shrinks you, performing. A career that doesn't value you. A life that works on paper and feels empty.
Your yeses, the energy that rises, truth bumps. Then say it, live it, publish it. What comes back is the spark.
I'm working hard and the results don't match.
I know what I don't want, but not what I want.
I want to let go of the pressure to find the result.
You discredit what you already have and know. The facts usually say otherwise.
You stop forcing and start noticing. The state moves first, then the yeses appear, then one small real step. Usually within about ten days.
Clients name the change in hours or days, not months. "Profound transformation in 3 hours." "4 days gave me more than most coaches in 6 months."
I don't only coach the state, I practise it. I see the root, and I help you feel it.
The ideas, the vision and the next step come from there. I work the inside first, and the outside follows.
You dare to say the thing you've been holding on to. It was always there. I don't put it in anyone; I make it safe to let it out.
You give it air and follow it: play, desire, courage.
It becomes will, values and expression in the world.
At both ends: rest and letting go, and the soil for the next spark. A new spark comes from the same place.
A session about every 10 days, and a short check-in every 2 to 3 days in between.
Get into the right state and start taking action. From fear to fullness: a calm nervous system, self-worth, saying no.
With space and confidence, create the real, bigger vision. Take steps toward it, and adjust them.
Keep expanding without pressure. A lighter rhythm, still someone in your corner.
I help you feel what already draws you, and take the first small real step toward it.
Interactive, embodied talks and workshops on connection: take the armour off, so we can see each other.
Connection without the noise. No alcohol, no loud music, shoes off at the door, eye contact, a little music, play.
Take off the armour so we can see each other, and let ourselves be seen. Every era had a different surface topic. Underneath, the same move: something held back comes out, in front of other people, and the room becomes one group.

Forcing is the symptom, not the cause.
You cannot burn out by being yourself. You burn out pretending or hiding.
I'm not here to fix you. We change the state, and the state changes what you can see.
You always know what to say. You think what you want to say isn't good enough.
Say yes to what grows the flame and no to what shrinks it.
Some growth happens under the soil. It is still growth.

Sébastien Roger is a French-Argentinian speaker, facilitator and coach. His work starts from one idea: what you are looking for is already in you, and chasing, forcing and performing are how we lose the connection to it.
He spent thirteen years as an engineer before following his own spark into acting, music and film. He toured with bands of 10 to 20 musicians, directed an award-winning feature-length documentary, and learned 12 languages while hitchhiking through dozens of countries.
For over a decade he has worked on stages and in transformational spaces: four TEDx talks, workshops for hundreds at Mindvalley, corporate conferences such as RE/MAX, retreats and men's groups. His sessions are embodied and playful, built on circles, eye contact and the voice. People leave having said something true, and knowing their next step.
Our next speaker was an engineer for thirteen years. Then he became an actor, a filmmaker and a musician, and learned to speak twelve languages along the way. He has given four TEDx talks, led workshops for hundreds at Mindvalley, and run circles from Lisbon to Barcelona. Tonight he is here to remind us of something we already know. Please welcome Sébastien Roger.
