A doubt about a decision, a latent conflict within a team, a difficult conversation we postpone. These moments, all managers experience them. And often, they face them alone.\n\nHello, my name is Loïc. I was trained as a tax specialist and became a Chief Financial Officer. I worked notably within the Vinci Group and had the opportunity to take on demanding responsibilities, in particular while working abroad in Congo-Brazzaville. I have always enjoyed responsibility. But there, I also discovered a reality that is rarely discussed: managerial isolation. When you have to decide, when you have to arbitrate, when you have to manage human tensions, there is not always a neutral space to talk about it freely, without judgment and in real time.\n\nIt was in these moments of doubt that VIKL was born. A simple question was on my mind: how can we turn a personal difficulty into an opportunity for others? And above all, how can we help managers become the best version of themselves?\n\nVIKL is a companion in your pocket for managers. An app designed as a neutral, confidential space where you can take a step back, clarify a situation and improve your way of managing. We stand for a strong belief: leadership is built through everyday interactions, and especially through the art of feedback. Good feedback can transform a relationship, a team, a trajectory.\n\nWith VIKL, we want to democratize leadership. Because anyone can be a leader. Because anyone can improve. Because anyone can learn to better interact with others. Our ambition is simple: to bring together a community of managers, of pioneers, of future leaders. So if this vision speaks to you, become VIKL.\n","fr-FR",null,"Nx-gtC--9XCoObARcUzwD2B6_KneEzBvRYrYkp83Nd8",1784554217020]
