Be Like An Apple Tree
You are not apart from nature, you are a part of it.
Work should feel natural
I'm Olivier Egli. I work with individuals and leaders that are ready to do work that is fulfilling and true to their nature.
It's common to think that feeling unfulfilled in your career or business is a result of personal shortcomings. So, you'll start looking into getting an advanced degree or taking some random course to enhance a skill. It's always the same story.
But it's not your actions that have to change, it's what inspires them. Does the work that you do right now come from a place that’s natural to you? Or is your work based on external concepts that feel forced and unnatural to you?
In nature, there is a clear intention for every action- the expression of its own nature. Natural entities don't concern themselves with unnatural tasks; an apple tree simply bears apples because it’s an apple tree.
What is your true nature?

Frequently Asked Questions
Because it's an apple tree! :)
That's its true nature. An apple tree would never naturally try to produce pears or oranges; that goes against everything it is.
People, on the other hand, often bend themselves out of shape trying to be anything but who they truly are.
So, be like an apple tree.

I spent over twenty years as a top creative executive in advertising, guiding major projects and leading teams for various corporations. Despite the success, I felt lost and disconnected because the work I was doing went against everything I stood for. I sank into a deep depression. There had to be more than the soul-sucking, empty work I. was doing. But what? I was terrified of leaving an extremely comfortable situation, but it was either my work or my life. Guess what I chose?
During my journey, I discovered I wasn’t alone; many people were grappling with a similar challenge. With the help of colleagues and data from various industries, I found a common issue among working professionals: we were doing work that went against our true self.
Inspired by nature, neuroscience, and thought leadership, I created a new approach to work and turned it into an educational business. Since then, I’ve been helping individuals and business owners transform their work lives.
No. I'm not a coach. I'm a business guide. The only "coach" we need is our inner truth.
In-person sessions are possible and price varies depending on location and availability. Email me to discuss.
I require an intro call because I want to make sure you choose the right workshop for your needs. They really do help in getting to know each other a little before we work together.

Here’s an excerpt:
"We often use the word "work" lightly to describe the final stage of execution, where the fruit is formed and sold to the world. However, it's crucial to recognize the intricate polarities behind this process and understand how deeply they are intertwined in producing that fruit. Your work will never feel meaningful to you unless it stems from this intricate inner core of life, where the Feminine and Masculine energies dance together in harmony, nurturing your passion until it is ripe for giving and taking."
