You Are It | Welcome

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:25:00 +0200

Hi, I'm Laurent Vuibert, and this is a reading of the book, You Are It, for your listening and your experience. It is free. There are thirteen parts, and they follow the order of the book.

You Are It! is available on Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/0e4HbUUF. The whole reading is on my podcast, Laurent Vuibert, and the text is on my Substack: laurentvuibert.substack.com. I'm looking forward to hearing and reading your comments and discoveries at laurent@authenticchoices.co

You Are It | 01 Opening

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:24:00 +0200

This piece is about introducing You Are It and what this is really about. In a nutshell, these introductions are content as well. They are an invitation to start to reflect on what we get ourselves into.

In this part: Grounding, The Journey Ahead, A Call to Step Beyond.

You Are It | 02 Acknowledgement and Recognition

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:23:00 +0200

First, I highly recommend you read this section of another kind, the acknowledgement and recognition. We begin by appreciating and recognising the influences and inspirations which have sort of fertilised the ecosystem of thoughts and discoveries of the author. They are ecosystemic by nature, host to and co-creator of this journey.

You Are It | 03 Why and How

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:22:00 +0200

The why and how. This here is a bit of reflection or sharing about why I took the time, much more than I thought I would, to put together some ideas and some recordings and drawings, done with very human time and human conversations, to share with you.

In this part: Why This Essay; Why Me, Why Now; How to Read This Essay; How I Deal with Stories and Live Sessions.

You Are It | 04 The Landscape

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:21:00 +0200

We begin by setting the context. Here I share that the maps we inherit no longer match the territory we face. That leaders are not broken systems requiring repair, but expressions of larger patterns seeking recognition. This section prepares the philosophical ground. It names the quiet revolution already underway in how we understand development, leadership, and change. If you have felt that something fundamental is shifting in how we live and work together, this section will give you language for that sensing.

You Are It | 05 An Orientation

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:20:00 +0200

Before entering the dimensions themselves, we pause. Yes, we pause. I introduce the three clusters that organise the model: Foundation, Range, and Field. I speak of gravity and time, not as abstract concepts but as living forces that shape every moment of our existence. This is the compass reading before the walk. Here you will also encounter the relational principle that underlies all the work: transformation happens between us, not inside isolated individuals. If you carry only one idea from this essay, let it be this one.

You Are It | 06 Dimension 1: Biography as Geology

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:19:00 +0200

This is the first dimension. We descend into the ground beneath our feet: the accumulated layers of lived experience, family inheritance, cultural imprint, ancestral memory. Biography is not the past. It is the living foundation of every choice we make today. In this section, you will recognise how patterns laid down decades or generations ago continue to organise your responses, your relationships, your sense of what is possible. The invitation is not to escape this ground but to inhabit it more consciously.

You Are It | 07 Dimension 2: Atmosphere as Consciousness

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:18:00 +0200

We rise from earth into air. This dimension explores vertical development: the altitudes of meaning-making from which we perceive and act. Under pressure, awareness contracts. Supported and resourced, it expands. Higher is not better, but range matters. Here you will find a way to understand why the same person can show wisdom in one context and collapse into old patterns in another. The atmosphere we breathe shapes everything we can see.

You Are It | 08 Dimension 3: Weather as Context

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:17:00 +0200

Now we enter the most intimate and fleeting dimension: the weather of immediate experience. This is not mood or emotion alone, but the total climate of body, mind, and energy in any given moment. It is both input and output, shaped by what we consume and practice, shaping in turn how we perceive reality. If you have ever wondered why some days the world appears hostile and others welcoming, though nothing external has changed, this section will illuminate that mystery.

You Are It | 09 Dimension 4: Wind as the Hypothetical

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:16:00 +0200

The wind carries what has not yet happened and might never happen: dreams, fears, unchosen paths, futures not yet formed. This dimension honours the field of possibility that surrounds every life. We live in constant dialogue with what did not occur and what could still come. The hypothetical is not fantasy. It is a force as real as biography, continuously shaping our choices, whether we are attending to it or not.

You Are It | 10 Dimension 5: The Molten Core as Present Moment

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:15:00 +0200

At the centre of everything, and including everything, lies the present moment. This is the generative fire from which all dimensions arise and to which all return. Presence is not a technique to master but a recognition to allow. Here the essay reaches its still point. If the other dimensions describe the territory, this one names the only place from which any of it can ever be lived.

You Are It | 11 Dimension 6: Nested Fields of Belonging

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:14:00 +0200

We widen again. From the nucleus of presence, we trace the orbital territories that surround and interpenetrate our existence: self, other, family, team, organisation, culture, society, planet. These are not passive backdrops but active gravitational fields, each exerting pull, each offering meaning and demanding energy. To live consciously within these nested systems is to recognise that no choice is ever private. Every action ripples outward and returns.

You Are It | 12 Integration as Love

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:13:00 +0200

The dimensions do not exist in isolation. They breathe together, influence one another, compose a single living intelligence. This final section names that intelligence as love: not sentiment, but the unconditional way life gives life to life. Integration is not a destination but a rhythm, a pulse, a continuous dance. Here the model dissolves into what it has always pointed toward: the recognition that you are not outside life, learning to navigate it. You are life, awakening through your particular form.

You Are It | 13 Conclusion

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 16:12:00 +0200

Finally, here we are. It's been a short but, I hope, useful exploration. I hope you had the opportunity to slow down and experience what this means for yourself, and how it can maybe invite you to experience your experience differently, or more deeply, or with some subtlety. Hopefully, it will invite you to bring it with you, to think about it when you see yourself making choices and experience the consequence of those choices in the way you live your life and therefore build your world.

The power Coaching supervision -2mn or less

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0200

Hello, I'm Laurent, and today I'd like to discuss the importance of coaching supervision in just two minutes. Coaching supervision, as I've experienced it both as a supervisor and a supervisee, is a collaborative environment established between supervisors and supervisees.

This nurturing space allows for personal regeneration, encouraging us to rediscover ourselves, deeply reflect on our understanding, and tap into the spiritual aspects of our identity. It's a space devoid of goals or achievements, focused solely on contemplation of our experiences as a coach and our growth within this role.

Coaching supervision helps us heighten our awareness, not necessarily in a deliberate way, but rather by freeing our intentionality and expanding our capacity to connect with the individuals we coach. This connection is not limited to coaching sessions but also extends to the energetic relationship we share with our clients as we invite them into the coaching conversation.

By engaging with the systemic dimension of the conversation, we can remain present and attentive to each detail. Coaching supervision has been an immensely enriching experience for me, as I've gained valuable insights and wisdom from the expertise and life experiences of my own supervisors.

I hope you too can benefit from coaching supervision. If this topic intrigues you, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Regenerate response

Emotional Triggers and their message

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0200

Today, I'd like to discuss triggers in under two minutes. Triggers are external stimuli that interact with our beliefs and ideas about ourselves, sending us into an emotional overdrive or an amplified version of ourselves. This often leads to accelerated heartbeats, a chain of thoughts, and behaviours seemingly provoked by a single event. Triggers often cause us to lose the capacity to connect and control ourselves.

It's important to note that triggers are not instantaneous; they often build up over time. The moments leading up to the triggering event can be separated by hours or even days. During this period, our beliefs and ideas are subtly challenged, gradually intensifying until a tipping point is reached, causing an emotional outburst, which we label as a trigger.

In coaching sessions with clients, individually and in teams, we learn to recognize these signs and trace them back to the origin of the trigger. This helps us understand when we allow ourselves to become vulnerable and how we can regain control.

Thank you for listening.

Introducing to short insights for vertical growth

Laurent Vuibert — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0200

Hi,

I want to introduce you to a collection of past videos, audio recordings, and podcasts where I share the insights and perspectives I've gathered over the years about the world. I aim to demystify and provide alternative viewpoints on various topics that can be applied to your daily life.

As an experienced coach, I firmly believe in the power of personal and collective development to impact society positively. I think the more we understand and pay attention to our feelings, perceptions, and surroundings, the better we can connect with others and the world around us, ultimately leading to a more intentional and fulfilling life experience.

In these recordings, I offer a personal touch and strive for simplicity to help you easily incorporate these insights into your life. I believe that when we approach life from a place of comfort and mental well-being, we can truly enjoy our experiences and contribute positively to the world around us.

I hope you find these recordings useful, and I'm eager to engage in conversations with you through comments, feedback, or sharing your own insights. While I cannot guarantee that you will find these discussions enjoyable or pertinent to your life, it is my sincere hope that they resonate with you in some way.

Thank you for listening, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

A meta view on Personal Development Ecosystem

Laurent Vuibert — Sun, 31 Oct 2021 08:00:00 +0100

In this introductory episode, we ask some questions and explore some meta-views on what is a leadership or personal development ecosystem.

What is the benefit for us? to society at large?

Who are we when we address the notion of a development ecosystem?

How does it relate to larger life questions and our relationship to the planet?

I simply wanted to share initial perspectives and views on the topic. if it speaks to you, resonate in one way or another let me know and we'll expand, clarify, adjust, further explore these questions which I believe is at the root of leadership at a larger scale.
