Today, more than ever, many people are loosing their bearings, feeling lost, searching for meaning in their lives and work, are in distress and at risk of burn-out. This phenomenon can be compared to a person running out of breath and strength, who can no longer swim and risks drowning in the water. I chose the name "Aquamarine" because this color and gemstone represent me the most. I myself have been lost in this ocean and still have a lot to learn, as we all do throughout our lives.
AQUAMARINE: CALMING, SOOTHING AND PURIFYING
Aquamarine evokes the purity of crystalline waters, the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. It is calming, soothing and purifying, and inspires truth, trust and letting go. In ancient times, aquamarine was considered the treasure of mermaids and was used by sailors as a talisman of luck, fearlessness and protection. It was also seen as a stone of eternal youth and happiness. Today, it protects all those who travel by, on or near water, and opens the channels for clear, sincere communication.

Elevating Individual and Team Well-being through Mapping, Tracking, and Measurement
The Rickter Scale is a world-renowned toolbox for improving individual well-being and organizational workforce alignement. As a Rickter Scale practitioner, I take advantage of its digital dashboard to help individuals connect with positive thoughts, feelings, and emotions to enable them to experience maximum well-being and unlock their full potential. Based on the principles of Coherent Life Transformation, it is designed to identify desired outcomes, monitor progress and track personal impact by taking account of a wide range of factors that contribute to an individual's well-being.
Since its launch in 1993, the Rickter Scale has supported 6000 organizations in 23 countries and interacted with 1.5 million individuals. This innovative method revolves around measuring authentic personal achievements, by navigating from a stuck state to embracing accountability, and facilitating strategic intention for a renewed sense of purpose.
