Pref2Perf

What Pref2Perf does

Pref2Perf is a France-based professional training and coaching organization founded in 2014, headquartered in Garches, Île-de-France, and operating with approximately 7 employees. The company commercializes the ActionTypes® corporal diagnostic methodology — a proprietary approach co-developed over more than 25 years by national volleyball coaches Ralph Hippolyte and Bertrand Théraulaz that maps major muscular chains to the eight cognitive processes described by Carl Gustav Jung, producing a personality assessment without questionnaires and claiming equivalence to the MBTI framework. The offer spans four core service lines: Formation Professionnelle (customized multi-day training programs in management, communication, sales, stress, and motivation), Coaching Professionnel (individual development), Séminaires & Team Building (including a premium golf-based experience at Golf de Saint-Germain), and Accompagnement RSE (CSR strategy consulting using the licensed Fresque de la RSE® workshop). Sub-products NeuroPerf Gym® and associated "Libérations Corporelles, Émotionnelles & Mentales" (integrating EFT and NLP techniques) extend the diagnostic into ongoing performance practices.

The go-to-market is sales-led, direct, and focused on French enterprise accounts — with named customers spanning CAC40 and mid-market names such as EDF, Société Générale, Total, BPI, Crédit Immobilier de France, Laforet, NEOVIA, Louineau, Audencia, and UCPA. Programs are quote-based, typically structured as 1-5 day engagements for groups of 5-12 participants per trainer, and delivered on client premises (intra-company). The company holds Qualiopi certification (French national quality standard for training organizations) and is led by founder Sylvain Le Tellier with a small senior team including Karine Ribak (Quality & Communication / RSE referent) and Magali Chamaillé (Coaching referent). Scale signals include 700+ intervention days over 10 years of activity and 567 client-feedback responses collected since 2019, generating a 9.1/10 global satisfaction rating.
