Véronique J. Corniola created an original concept of French-style coaching, based on self-knowledge and self-improvement, the wish to communicate and the art of seduction. It is a type of “coaching” that you cannot find everywhere, but it is gradually expanding around the world.

1. Why did you create a school of seduction ?

My initiative was based upon observing our present society. We live in a universe of fear where people do not dare to act; men and women compromise their potentials,  theirfore  having difficulties in meeting new people, communicating, seducing and loving.
People keep waiting… and time passes!
Furthermore, my previous experiences within a matrimonial agency have allowed me to understand how NOT to behave. It is insufficient to establish a profile of an “ideal” person and promote places for encounters (leisure, sports, and vacations) to find your "soul mate»! My previous experiences have taught me that without preeliminary work on yourself, meeting someone is difficult.
Certainly, my clients had expectations, but the problem was that they were not themselves to complete these requirements!
I realized that men and women needed to become independent; not assisted … The goal is to become your “own master.”

2. Your role is to show your clients how to become hunters, or provide them with a “catch” ?

As men are concerned, I teach them how “to go hunting” again. They may be shy hunters, but they are hunters before anything else! And, if they do not know how to seduce, they will have less success in picking up a girl or woman.. By showing them how to be and how to do, I allow them to assume the fantasy of “the universal man”: "approach any girl that I like whatever the place wherever I am, at the very moment there is a contact". This is the main issue of men who come to my school, because a happy man is one who fulfills his needs, one who is not emotionally or sexually frustrated.
To approach another person a “man” must stimulate his own desires (it is not a coincidence if this word is among the “key words” in our School of seduction!). At the same time, he must cultivate his own curiosity in order to keep an open mind, which will make it easier for him to meet someone.  Any man must gain in maturity and overcome his prohibitions. Becoming “your own master” is defying socio-cultural taboos; work on prejudices and presumptions, learn to know yourself, to love yourself, and to understand the nature of men and women. It’s obvious: it is a program which transmits  the power of seduction to today’s men, enabling them to choose better their partner or their spouse.

3. Is the problem the same for women ?

A woman's motivations are: "how to keep the man who gives me pleasure?" and, possibly: "how to build a long lasting relationship?". In general, women wait for Prince Charming. In addition to this, she is not at the height of her own expectations. Often there are contradictions between dreams and reality, between Harrison Ford (The Adventurer of the Lost Ark) and, Michael Douglas (Wall Street), between nature and security… and, even more… she asks for fantasy! At this point, she could find her ideal man in James Bond…
But, it is necessary to admit that 007 is not an easy catch! In fact, a woman does not necessarily seek perfection. What really counts for her is to feel passionate by a man. Yet, a woman has to know how to inspire passion… which is a big asset for any couple!
Women must not forget that thanks’ to great Ladies such as Françoise Giroud, Gisèle Halimi and Ms. Simone Weil, today they have the choice of having children when they want, have adventures, divorces, and claim their sexual desires. (Cf : "The strength of the desire" of Willy Pasini)
Personally, I am trying, by my work, to make women aware of their strengths and encourage them to use their freedom. It is unacceptable to question today’s liberties. My own grandmother always told me that she would have dreamed of being my age at our time… Through my action within the school of seduction, I honor my grandmother… This by being a "female" rather than a "feminist»!

4. But, for women as well as for men, isn’t seduction innate?

Absolutely. It starts at a young age. It is sufficient to observe the smiles of babies and gestures of children. However, unfortunately, often due to an overly rigid education and/or an environment where emotions are never expressed, seduction power wanes away and becomes “dormant”. It’s because of this that today’s women and men evaluate instead of seducing. Their common attitude seems more like a recruitment than a moment of pleasure and seduction, not leaving much left for desire. For some seducing  comes naturally, like cooking… But the difference is in the way one seduces.
On this matter, I particularly want to specify that my goal is not to turn my clients into seducers but charming persons.

5. According to you, what is missing in today’s men and women in order, to be more attractive ?

Socially, they are lacking three fundamental qualities: charm, generosity, empathy. Each person focuses too much on him/herself, and, it’s a problem.  In general, they have few or no friends.and all of these “unhappy psychics” are overwhelming for their therapists! Especially for the last ten years, depression and cancer have become common conditions for many people, leading them to pessimism! The lack of knowing one’s shortcomings, overconsumption becomes a compensation for ordinary mortals. At the same time, the virtual invades our society, dehumanizing us little by little, leading us into the disturbing world of Adlous Huxley …
Individually; a difference can be noted between the genders: men essentially need to work on their fear of failure. Their main problem resides in breaking the ice with the unknown, whatever the place wherever they are. Spontaneous encounters are the best ones.
Men need to understand the psychology and functioning of a woman of the XXI century.
Finally, they should show more interest in a woman’s sexuality. On this matter, my best advice is: "stop talking or joking about sex all the time and practice more!" A man must assume his manhood. Even if today he is able to show his “feminine” side – which I do not have anything against – he must, nevertheless, emphasize his male side. These two factors need to be an average of 50/50. Showing his emotions is a positive thing, but, without forgetting the strengths of his male characteristics. This is the prize for seduction. A man with a lack of male instincts does not inspire to many women. In order to fully assume his relationship with any woman, he needs to put his act together: The School of seduction is here to help him!
Women, on the other hand, are seeking the Man with a big M... the one who puts fantasy into their relationship. They imagine him wearing seven league boots rather than slippers! Even if we hear them hum: "all is well Madam Marquise"… Even if they are liberated, they are no less fragile. As well as men, they have their own limitations. And, with their increased responsibilities, they need to be more masculine. Men and women need to “feed” their senses and their sensuality in order to blossom sexually.

6. In summary, what are the main principals for an “ideal seduction plan” ?

The program is divided into 3 phases:
1. Communicating better
2. Developing your sensuality
3. Getting to know and understanding your sexuality.
This is the "work plan" adopted by the School of Seduction whose main purpose is to improve one’s communication with… yourself and others! !

7. In practice, how does your practical training work ?

Act, act and still act! My training courses respect the following percentage: 20 % theory, and 80 % action.
After our psychologist does a personality profile, he/she will redefine the exact objectives of each client. We personalize a training course that will be carried out over 9 months, including modules with specific themes and a follow-up to assess the experiences (see our program on this website).

8. What do you work on specifically ?

We work on the essentials of communication: the voice, the glance, the body language, etc. It is a true personal questioning. It takes a lot of motivation and courage to take this step. When people give themselves the means to succeed, there is no reason it does not work. Only fools do not evolve!

9. Are there people who come to you with an exclusively professional objective ?

Yes. And in this case, it’s all about developing ones charisma Seduction is also about learning how to sell yourself, and, to become an affirmed speaker without languor and aggression.
In this case, our customers consist of: commercial actors, upcoming politicians, lawyers, and superiors… A non-exhaustive list is steadily increasing!
All of these people need to regain confidence in themselves by working on their strengths. For an actor, the objective is to increase his/her turnover; for politicians, it’s about establishing their power and gaining  popularity. Even in this context, the power to seduce opens the doors of life …
Again, the purpose of my training is to teach you how to be comfortable in every circumstance and to help you achieve the maximum empathy and adaptability.

10. On this matter, who do you think is the most charismatic politician ?

Spontaneously, only one name comes to mind: Bill Clinton!
In France, the politicians need to work on their look. Most of them don’t know how to give themselves an appropriate look that matches their level. However, those who appear to me as being very consistent with their appearance are: Nicolas Sarkozy and Bernard Kouchner; they display a reassuring professional aspect at the same time as they reflect their passion for their profession. Being warmhearted, they inspire empathy.
As women politicians are concerned: Michèle Alliot-Marie plays her game well…

11. What is required from your team members ?

It is simple! The therapist must be a good therapist. As the coaches are concerned, they must never judge. Their role is to be directive, fair play, and genuine. Also, they should have the ability and intelligence of bringing my clients to an optimal result in making them as attractive as possible.

12. What is your final word ?

Being able to give and receive, to love and be loved: that is the main motivation for people who come to me. My first objective is to reconcile men and women in their love lives. I consider my clients as birds in a cage to whom I have to show the path to liberty. A freedom achieved by action. An action through which we DARE (to act !)…

13. So, you show your clients their way to freedom ?

No, they learn by themselves how to regain their freedom.
