ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Niall speaks with Yannick Jacob, an existential coach, philosopher, and educator with over 15 years of coaching experience.
Yannick helps people explore the deeper philosophical questions behind everyday life. His approach blends existential philosophy with practical coaching to develop what he calls “existential resilience.”
In this conversation, they explore:
— How big existential questions are always at work beneath the surface of our lives
— How building “existential resilience” helps us face life’s inevitable challenges
— Why avoiding depth and complexity may feel comfortable but leaves us unprepared
— The value of coaching as a space to courageously face yourself
— How presence is something AI can never truly replicate in coaching relationships
And more.
