Approach

Real growth begins with self-awareness and clarity about what you want and why.
It’s about understanding and managing the feelings, thoughts and habits patterns that shape your results.
Together, we’ll work with your brain and emotions, not against them, to create lasting change.

I create a brain-friendly environment to encourage a solution-seeking mindset helping you channel the energy of ‘e-motions’ as a catalyst for change.
With this ‘growth mindset’, your brain starts forming new neural connections, gradually building new habits over time.
This brain continuous process of learning, growing and restructuring is known as neuroplasticity. It is your most powerful tool for lasting transformation.

I also use various coaching models and assessments as well as my business experience, operating at senior levels in organisations, to ground your work in business reality, ensuring that your strategies and actions translate into tangible results.

Principles and Tools

I’m here to help you unlock your potential and achieve your goals.
The first step is to create a positive and stimulating environment for your brain to relax, open up, think differently to find new solutions.
I also focus on building your self-awareness, giving you space and thinking time to recognise helpful and unhelpful emotions, beliefs, thought patterns, habits, and behaviours. You can only change what you are conscious of.
Then, you’ll tap into resources to define, try, and practice new solutions, form new habits and achieve more.

I use the latest cognitive and emotional intelligence insights, combined with proven coaching methodologies from team systemic dynamics, co-development and positive psychology strategies to drive success.
My approach also incorporates reliable profiling tools to enhance team synergy and individual effectiveness.
I also draw on my 30 years of senior-level business and coaching experience to support and stimulate you.

Engagement Structure & Style

  1. Chemistry session:
    We discuss your context, needs, challenges and objectives and if coaching is right for you at an individual and business level.
  2. The engagement:
    We discuss your coaching program in a ‘contracting’ session with clear and measurable objectives and outcomes to ensure clarity and accountability from the outset. 
  3. On-going review:
    We regularly track progress and make adjustments as needed, making sure the coaching works for you and the business.
  4. End of engagement session:
    We review your progress and agree your next steps for continued post-coaching growth.

My style is caring and empathetic to create a trusted partnership and empower you. It is also challenging and stimulating so you learn and grow in an accountable manner.

Partners

I am an independent executive, career coach and facilitator in leadership and culture, working with carefully selected partners who represent my values and convictions. I collaborate with renowned consultancies such as Scarlett & Grey, Heidrick Consulting and Coode Associates.
I also work regularly with the French Oxbridge equivalent HEC, Paris (first French business school) and l’Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau (first French engineering school) to support their students in finding the right job for them.

I want to give back and combine my professional skills with my values to positively impacting the community. That’s why I volunteered as a career change facilitator with L’AVARAP for 3 years, mentored with the Prince’s Trust Charity and provided pro bono coaching through the Centre for Entrepreneurs for over eight years.
During the COVID-19 pandemic and up to 2024, I also supported NHS staff and social workers through mental health and burnout coaching with the Project5 charity.
