In 1985, André Politzer created Aptitude Internationale, a European-based consulting firm, which was basically conceived to bring new technologies to market, and to educate decision-makers about the various applications that were available to them and all potential ROI attached to these technology investments. This was so successful that the firm grew to four times its size during its first two years of existence. Since the firm’s primary focus was to help people in different leadership roles to recognize and conquer all those things that they considered “scary,” this might include a general inability to cope with new technology, via a fear of “exposure” through this increasingly wide-open medium.

 

Since the company opened up its doors, André continued to refine his coaching techniques, making them far more dynamic and structured. Helping leaders and entrepreneurs to cope with changes and transitions, was accomplished through individual consulting, and the overall procedure utilized in this assistance was systematically designed like a coaching session. By listening, and understanding and assessing the individual’s needs and potential, André was able to help them to both discover and embrace the potential they had, and to accept, for instance, the use of technology in helping their business grow. André moved to the US in 1989, and resided in various positions with corporate America. All the while, André still kept the Aptitude Internationale running, made it more international, and had eight consultants and coaches join him in his efforts. The firm gained a reputation as gurus of discovering and opening new markets for high-tech applications, by translating sophisticated applications to user experience.

 

Now, YourFocusPoint/Change Your World Coaching stands as a result of a clear source of inspiration to engage in building a solid coaching practice, and to assist top executives and professionals in coping with emerging trends, and all rapid changes of management methodologies and decision-making strategies. What is new today is André’s full dedication to the task, partnering with other coaches who complement him, and offering a solid spectrum of coaching services to professionals, small business owners and executives.
