My name is Michaël Lallemand, though many people know me as Mika. I am the creator of the Être à sa place method and the author of the book of the same name.
My journey brings together two worlds: business, entrepreneurship and analytical thinking, alongside a personal exploration of intuition, self-awareness, emotions and awareness of the body.
Over time, these experiences have come together around a guiding principle: everything begins at the centre, moving from within into the way we choose and act.
This is the starting point of my work: helping you reconnect with yourself, clarify what matters and translate your choices into action.
Head – Heart – Body | Intuition – Awareness – Action
An engineer by training, I have spent more than 20 years working in complex, multicultural environments, including digital technology, data, CRM, agile ways of working and entrepreneurship.
I also spent 15 years as an entrepreneur in Southeast Asia. This experience brought me face to face with creating projects, navigating uncertainty, making decisions and continually adapting.
I learned to analyse, structure, decide and act. I also came to recognise the limits of relying mainly on rational thought and the need to stay in control.
Alongside this professional journey, another exploration was taking shape. I began paying closer attention to my feelings, emotions, intuition and bodily experience.
Gradually, I discovered how these dimensions could complement one another. Intuition and reason, the heart and the mind, reflection and action could work together.
The Être à sa place method grew from this meeting of professional experience and inner exploration.
Life led me to open my heart and learn to listen more closely.
To emotions. To silence. To the parts of ourselves we leave unspoken. To intuitions we overlook and aspirations that keep returning.
Listening in this way takes courage. It means making space for what we experience, including our fears, vulnerabilities and contradictions.
This exploration changed how I live, decide and act. It helped me see how intuition and reason could enter into a dialogue, each contributing something valuable.
Today, this quality of attention is central to my work: creating a space where you can reconnect with yourself, listen to your experience and develop your own capacity to choose.
We often seek change in our work, relationships, projects or circumstances. My experience has led me to pay attention to where that movement begins within us.
Pause. Observe. Feel. Listen.
Become aware of what matters to you, as well as what holds you back.
Then clarify, choose and act.
This movement from inner awareness to practical action is the thread running through the Être à sa place method.
My role is to create the conditions for you to return to your centre, listen to your inner compass and turn what becomes clearer into conscious choices and concrete steps.
The intention is to support greater autonomy in how you approach your life and projects.
My book Être à sa place grew out of this personal journey and an exploration of what can take us away from ourselves, and what can help us return.
Through six keys to awareness and more than 50 practical exercises, including meditations, I invite readers to explore intuition, self-acceptance, awareness, action, relationships and the heart of business.
Published in 2023 by Éditions Persée, the book laid the foundations of what gradually became the Être à sa place method.
Since then, sessions, workshops, conversations and my own experiences have continued to shape the approach.
The book is currently available in French only. There is no English edition.
Beyond my work, I love rugby, poetry, silence and orcas — magnificent reminders of the depth of the living world.
Today, I share the Être à sa place method with individuals, entrepreneurs, teams and organisations seeking greater clarity, coherence and meaning in their choices and actions.
There are three main ways to experience the approach:
A two-hour session to explore a specific situation or decision, reconnect with yourself and identify your next steps.
A day in a small group to experience the method through reflection, shared exploration and practical exercises.
Support over time to integrate the method into everyday life and develop greater autonomy in how you decide and act.

Life changes. We change. Our relationships, projects, aspirations and priorities evolve.
For me, Être à sa place means developing the capacity to return to your centre, again and again: listening to what is alive within you and responding consciously to the situations you encounter.
This is a path I continue to explore myself, and one I invite you to experience.
Return to your centre. Make conscious choices. Take action in alignment with who you are.
