Accompanying the development of the professional identity of entrepreneur, inclusion of life balance[L’accompagnement du développement de l’identité professionnelle de créateur d’entreprise, prise en compte de l’équilibre de vie]

First, the following work presents a professional identity, which is built with wide characteristics of the entrepreneur. Based on the interviews conducted, this professional identity description gives a good account of what is at stake in the professional identity change made by the entrepreneur (in his debut), supported by the training and the coaching of these same business creators. Furthermore the study points out the organizing concepts implemented by coaches when accompanying. Secondly, the study shows that the environment close to the new contractor plays an important role in its reasoning and its entrepreneurial success. But in the same movement, the entrepreneurial project tends to absorb all the availability of the entrepreneur. The management of this critical voltage is not taken into account in institutionally training and support systems observed. It is considered on time, according to the sensitivity of the guide and the changing circumstances. Accompanying often have few tools to work there (the technician of the business plan or the person sharing their creative experience, are not necessarily those with the tools on the life orientation or the management of family relationships example). The concept of life balance management seems therefore a key concept to be integrated. Third, the study highlights organizing concepts for managing life balance related to entrepreneurship. It identifies key areas / situations involved relatively still to life balance of the contractor. From these situations and organizing concepts identified a competency framework to be acquired to deal with these situations was built. Corresponding training methods have been suggested. Fourth, a training system as a reflexive course was conducted experimentally with a group of apprentices volunteer engineers. A first feedback is cleared. Overall, these are 6 English creators, 15 French creators, and 7 teachers (English 4 and 3 French) were interviewed. Cultural differences do not appear to induce significant variations on both sides of the English Channel on the issues and what is its object. As against the study gives no indication on how best to provide these approaches based on cultural differences.
