Organization Philosophy
Club Agilité Émotionelle is a non-profit organization founded by professionals with a shared mission: to help individuals and families build emotional awareness and develop fulfilling, connected relationships. By normalizing emotional learning and practicing relationship skills within real-life interactions, we aim to foster healthier individuals, stronger families, and more connected communities.
Our Approach
We believe that emotional agility is the antidote to emotional dysregulation and relational distress.
Emotional agility is the ability to:
Experience emotions
Make sense of them
Respond in healthy, flexible, and relationally attuned ways
When individuals develop emotional agility, they are better able to form safe, resilient, and meaningful connections.
Our Model
We developed the Relational Emotional Agility Model (REAM) and the Emotional Agility Workout Program (Parent & Child Edition) drawing from research in:
Attachment theory
Emotional intelligence
Developmental psychology
Relational and relational-developmental systems theories
Evidence-based practices such as Emotion Coaching
Our work is grounded in one core principle:
Emotional agility is not learned in isolation—it is co-constructed through everyday emotional experiences within relationships.
The Relational Emotional Agility Model (REAM) Framework
The REAM organizes emotional development into four core developmental tasks:
These stages align with key phases of child development—infancy/toddlerhood, preschool, middle childhood, and adolescence—and reflect how emotional skills are progressively built through consistent relational support and practice. To operationalize this model, we developed the Emotional Agility Workout Program (Parent & Child Edition), in which parent practices are integral to facilitating children’s emotional growth. At the same time, the program supports parents in developing healthier meta-emotional perspectives by guiding them to become effective emotion coaches for their children.
What Makes Our Program Unique?
Dyadic, not individual: Skills are practiced within real relationships
Developmentally grounded: Aligned with how children grow
Research-informed: Integrates leading psychological frameworks
Practical and experiential: Focused on everyday emotional moments
Our Vision
We envision a community where:
Emotions are understood, not avoided
Relationships are safe, responsive, and resilient
Individuals are equipped to navigate life with emotional adaptability & maturity
By building emotional agility together, we build stronger relationships—and healthier communities.
