How you feel

« I don’t recognise him anymore.
He used to be interested in so many things.
Today… I no longer know what drives him. »

I hear that a lot. Not always in exactly the same words.
Sometimes it’s school. Sometimes it’s a retreat. Sometimes it’s a weariness we can’t quite put our finger on.

What you see

Grades are slipping. Homework isn’t getting done. Motivation seems to have vanished.

How you fell

Feeling like you no longer know how to help. Offering solutions that just don’t seem to land. .

What they’re experiencing

« I’m doing what’s expected of me. But where am I in all of this? »

The real problem

It's not a question
of motivation.
It’s a question of finding your compass.

The solutions we usually turn to

Tutoring. Study methods. Organisation. Pressure.

Solutions that address the branches — not the roots.

What’s really happening:

Your teen is becoming someone — but they don’t yet know who.

Without an inner compass, every effort remains fragile.

The root of the problem

«They don’t know who they are yet, —
so they don’t know why
they would do anything. »

ODYSSEUS™ helps your teen discover who they are —
so they can choose the direction they want their life to take.

What you’ll see over 90 days

A visible transformation

By the end of the journey, your teen:

01

Can explain who they are

Their strengths, what drives them, how they function — without struggling to find the words.

02

Makes decisions without waiting for others’ approval

They choose. They own their choices. They move forward.

03

Has a direction of their own

Even if it isn’t perfect. It’s theirs.

04

Sees comparison differently

They no longer try to be like everyone else. They focus on being true to themselves.

05

Takes action even without certainty

They start. They test. They adjust. They’ve developed an explorer’s mindset.

06

Learn to work with the way they function

Once they understand how they function, school can become a useful tool again. This shift in perspective is what helps build lasting engagement with learning.

What I’ve noticed

The teenagers I work with often regain, within a few weeks, what their parents describe as the desire to move forward.

What if he refuses?

The teenager is never forced to speak. The journey always begins with what they are ready to explore.

The method

Three steps. A journey.

From the inside out — then towards your direction.
90 days: the time it takes for a new way of seeing yourself to take root in everyday life.

I

Days 1 — 30

Exploring yourself

Who am I, really? Their strengths. What drives them. How they fonctionne — without the filter of other people’s gaze. You can’t chart your course until you know your own vessel.

II

Days 31 — 60

Choosing yourself

What really matters to me? Their core values. What they won’t compromise on. What gives them energy when no one is watching. Choosing yourself means beginning to live on your own terms.

III

Days 61 — 90

Finding your direction

Where am I going — and how do I move forward? A direction built on what they’ve discovered and chosen. Imperfect. Adaptable. But their own.

The navigator's toolkit

What they receive

The map

Given to them at the start. Blank. They fill it in as the journey unfolds. Five territories to explore, in their own way.

N

The compass

Three simple questions they can use at any time. To know whether they’re navigating their own course — or simply being carried along.

The logbook

A navigation journal. Three questions. Five minutes. Every week — to learn how to read themselves.

The myth of Odysseus

The myth of Odysseus, told before certain sessions. Each story reflects the stage of the journey the teen is going through.

🧬

Teen SERUM® Profile

A behavioural analysis that helps your teen understand how they naturally function — and helps you, as a parent, understand them better: how they make decisions, how they recharge, and how they interact with others.

🧭

7 sessions + 6 navigation check-ins

Individual coaching over 90 days. Your teen never goes more than seven days without contact — helping them stay on course.

A question every parent asks

Will my teen
agree to take part?

ODYSSEUS™ isn’t presented as a programme they have to follow.
It's a journey they choose to embark upon.

That’s exactly what the first meeting is for:
if your teen doesn’t connect with the approach,
the journey doesn’t start.

Who guides
your teen

My name is Ludovic Bourdon. For several years, I’ve been supporting teens and their parents around one central question: how can a young person find their own direction in a world that offers them a thousand different paths?

ODYSSEUS™ grew out of this question — and from the realisation that a lack of motivation is rarely about not having the right method. More often, it comes from not yet knowing who you are.

Approach

A journey of self-discovery — not traditional coaching

Method

Action-oriented identity exploration

Engagement

Maximum of 8 teens at a time

Get in touch

There’s no commitment.

« If your life were truly your own,

what would you do differently? »

It’s a question every teen will have to ask themselves one day.
ODYSSEUS™ gives them some space — and 90 days — to start responding.
