After studying science (mathematics and physics in preparatory classes, then philosophy of science and knowledge), Octave turned to psychology and cognitive science, and became interested in research in 3 areas in particular: creativity, education and therapy.

Interested in the processes of personal development and self-liberation, he also trained in contemporary tools of “brief therapies” and coaching such as Neuro-linguistic Programming and Ericksonian Hypnosis, both of which he is a certified Master Practitioner by the Society of NLP.

After training as an actor, he discovered many Russian and American techniques (among others: Constantin Stanislavski, Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Lee Strasberg, Eric Morris…) and it is the Meisner technique that particularly attracted his attention, beyond the unexpected sincerity that it confers on the actor, by its healthy, playful and simple side.

Noticing from the start the links with his previous fields of study, he also realized the variety of its approaches in the world. He then created the Paris Meisner Studio to bring qualified teachers to Paris, in order to continue training in the right way while exploring complementary aspects of this technique, its history and evolution.

In his quest to perfect the understanding of the Meisner technique for himself and other students, he set up a novel system of research and development first called Meisner & systemic coaching, before becoming the First Principles Acting approach.

In parallel to his teaching and directing activities, Octave continues to train in various related fields to enrich this research, having begun, among others, a 5 year Gestalt therapy curriculum at EPG, a certified trainer qualification and a training in Brad Blanton’s Radical Honesty tools (derived from Gestalt therapy and Ericksonian hypnosis, and aligned with the development of the Meisner technique’s viewpoint work).

He also practices traditional meditation techniques and Buddhist systems of mind body connection, especially Vipassana.

In 2022, Octave produced and co-directed with Guillaume Caramelle the school’s first short film, C’est pas le Pérou!, a comedy written by Aurélien Laplace. The film is available on OCS, CanalPlay and Amazon Prime.

During COVID, he took time to reflect on his research and current activities, refining the procedures and methods he had developed while working with many collaborators, freelancers, and full-time employees.

He delved into the field of productivity and trained in different approaches and programs related to PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) and content creation: including Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain, Ali Abdaal’s Part–Time Youtuber Academy, and Nat Eliason’s Effortless Output in Roam.

Using his background in SMMA, Anthony Robbins’ programs, and his work with Virtual Assistant companies, he reorganised his essential SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and evaluation protocols into a complete, all-in-one system for himself and for other schools or entrepreneurs.

Seeing how these methods helped others move towards their long-term visions, he created a new brand : LazyBusy: productive and free.

The LazyBusy Suites brings together all these systems, courses, and tools into a structure that can be taught, duplicated, and applied immediately by entrepreneurs, creators, artists, and content makers who want to free themselves from the constant pressure of managing complex projects.

It is now offered, at the smallest launch price, to people of all levels and experience, helping them move quickly toward a rewarding and meaningful path: turning their visions into reality.
