When the client sets your day: managing on a shifted schedule
A team whose day is set by Paris, London or Bangalore is not living with an organisational constraint but with a decision constraint. The two are not treated the same way.
Different cultures. One way to lead together.
In Ébène or Port Louis, the same meeting can open in French, move to English and wrap up in Kreol. ABP Consulting trains managers and coaches leaders in Mauritius, in family-run groups as much as in the island's subsidiaries and service centres, starting from self-awareness: DISC and the Enneagram first, technique second.

Four areas that combine
Keep the full course, or hold on to just the modules that answer your managers' real sticking point — we turn them into a tailored programme.
Management
Managing in Mauritius means leading a team that changes language depending on the subject, inside an organisation where people rarely contradict their superior in a meeting.
6 courses
Sales
Selling in Mauritius means selling into a market where everyone knows everyone and the relationship comes before the transaction.
1 course
Communication and self-awareness
Understanding how you operate before trying to adjust how anyone else does, with DISC and the Enneagram.
3 courses
Seminars & team coaching
Team coaching does not deliver content: it works on a team's real situation — cohesion, how people work together, a shared vision.
1 course
The Buffet method
Build your programme one module at a time.
ABP builds programmes as modules rather than fixed courses. You choose the modules that match what your managers are actually struggling with, and we assemble them into one coherent programme. That is the Buffet method, and it travels from France to Mauritius unchanged.
- Modules combine across categories — a management programme can borrow a communication module.
- Groups stay small enough that every participant works on a real situation from their own team.
- Sessions run in person in Mauritius, live online, or at your own site — in Ébène, in Port Louis, or on a production floor.
Certifications
A certified founder, a team of trainers
Alain Palacios, founder and director of ABP Consulting, is certified in DISC, the Enneagram and professional coaching. He runs a good share of the sessions himself; the others are handed to the firm's trainers, on programmes built around those same tools.

Notes on managing in Mauritius
The yes that does not mean yes
Leaving a meeting with everyone's agreement is more often a bad sign than a good one. It is almost never bad faith: it is a problem of process.
Managing in three languages: what actually changes, and what has nothing to do with it
A Mauritian team routinely works in three languages without anyone having decided to. Most managers only notice the subject the day a clear decision produces nothing.
Frequently asked questions
What Mauritian companies ask us
What languages are ABP training and coaching delivered in?
French, English or Spanish. In Mauritius both of this site's languages are also delivery languages: a francophone group and an anglophone group from the same company take the same programme without it being rebuilt.
What does ABP Consulting do in Mauritius?
ABP Consulting is a French management-training and coaching firm working in Mauritius. It runs management, sales and communication training, facilitates team seminars, and provides one-to-one coaching for managers and business owners.
How long are ABP training courses?
One to three days depending on the course. Any course can also be split into half-days spread over several weeks, which usually suits managers who cannot leave their team for three consecutive days.
Where do sessions take place in Mauritius?
Anywhere on the island, and online. A session runs at your own premises — Ébène, Port Louis, the plateau towns, a production site, the coast — at a venue you book, or remotely. Rodrigues is handled online or as a grouped visit.
