Coaching has always been part of my life. For 30+ years in the Private Equity industry, and lately in the Media and Advertising business, I have learnt that what matters in success is above all the value of the transformation organisations go through, not who did it. I learnt that thoughtful influence trumps “lead from the front” decision making every time. I learnt that an effective leader who carries the team often leads from the back: building a vision and a consensus EVERYONE around knows is their OWN. I am honoured and humbled that so many of you around me describe me as a tranquil force, a safe mountain hut from which to summit or return in case of storm. I am passionate about helping others and especially those who think coaching might not be for them because of the cost or lack of time : students, parents, entrepreneurs. I sit and have sat (or chaired) on more than 20 Boards of Directors over the years and have learnt my own methods in transformation, from purposeful value creation to crisis management. I am also the entrepreneur’s coach having started and developed 3 of my own companies myself over the years. I know how it feels to be at the top, on your own. Whether you are a student, a parent, an entrepreneur, a leader, an executive, an organisation wanting to place coaching at the heart of your life or your teams, you will not find a more solid and enthusiastic ally to help you strive along the path YOU have chosen. My coaching practice is deeply grounded in the Co-Active Coaching principles as defined by CTI (Co-Active Training Institute) : combining “doing” with “being” in a place of receptivity and inner consciousness from which all of our actions should arise. I am extremely proud and honored to be a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC). As a proud ICF (International Coach Federation) Associate Certified Coach credential holder, I abide by the high standards of the profession and fully comply with the ICF Code of Ethics.
