Our philosophy is based on the Enso circle
Enso Circle symbolizes presence, imperfection, and the endless path of mastery.
Like the Enso, real leadership isn’t linear.
It isn’t polished.
It demands presence — and the courage to move ahead.
It’s not about reaching perfection.
It’s about returning, again and again, to what is essential.
CEOcircle+ is built on this principle.
Not the performance that exhausts, but the inner performance that sustains — clarity, steadiness, intention.
You come here to realign, to sharpen your inner edge, and to lead your next chapter from the inside out.
This is the path of leaders who stay at the top not by pushing harder, but by strengthening the place where true performance begins.
Driven with passion
Welcome to the heart of innovation and leadership at CEOcircle+. Our team is composed of distinguished professionals who are not only pioneers in their fields but also passionate advocates for transformative leadership.

Our Strategic Partnership with Blue Lynx strengthens a key dimension of CEOcircle+:
the ability to perform at the highest level without losing one’s center.
Blue Lynx has developed a unique method inspired by Olympic and top performance sports coaching where they bring elite athletic precision to the world of senior leadership.
Their work with elite athletes, on ski slopes, global circuits, and in extreme conditions, has been translated into a powerful method for top executives navigating pressure, complexity, and change.
This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about accessing your natural clarity, expanding your leadership posture, and activating inner precision when it matters most.
Their key promises:
• Refocus your mind in under 10 seconds
• Expand your presence without tension
• Hold your ground when everything speeds up
A rare opportunity to explore how champions think, breathe, and perform and bring that same clarity into your own leadership.

Blue Lynx Sport Director and Co-Founder
Laurent Buttafoghi
Laurent is one of those men of the field who don’t theorize performance — they embody it, and excel at the highest operational level.
His track record speaks for itself: 30 years at the top of elite sport. 4 Olympic Games. 26 World Cup victories. 3 Olympic medals.
He has coached some of the biggest names in French skiing and far beyond — sailing, boxing, rugby, para-sport — and continues to contribute to French sport on a global scale.
Blue Lynx CEO and Co-Founder
Fabien Roussel
Fabien is one of those visionaries forged by extreme performance — the kind who confront the impossible in order to create new paths.
His life odyssey speaks for itself: 30 years of severe asthma, thousands of attacks, and a near-death experience.
He has continuously evolved alongside the elite of the extreme world — fighter pilots, military special operations, industry captains, spiritual masters — ultimately becoming a trusted private advisor to some of them.
