French term or phrase: à me rapprocher de ma cohérence
Contexte (the person talking has just been on the hot seat):

En moins d’une heure, j’ai accumulé une matière première énorme pour mon business, dix-sept pages de notes, des enregistrements à réécouter, un plan d’action à mettre en œuvre… Je sais que lors de notre prochaine réunion, mes alliés voudront que je leur raconte ce qui s’est passé suite à leurs conseils. Ce soutien m’aide à avancer et à me rapprocher de ma cohérence…

Merci Beaucoup,

Barbara

to become more coherent


Explanation:
Furthermore, the conversation was activating a more intimate connection between us, which – I think – allowed for information to flow more easily and for thinking to become more coherent, even as differences were raised.

Given these conditions, Harris (2008), suggests that such groups will, overtime, become more coherent and create sets of behaviours and practices which allow them to solve problems and generate ideas, We can strengthen the capacity of our hearts to become more coherent and work in this way.

We’ve distilled this experience into ten principles, which guide us in how we work with people and organisations to become more coherent and unlock their true potential.
