supporting people and teams with growth and development through coaching and collective intelligence
British by birth, I have been living and working in France for over 25 years and it is my own experience as an expatriate, wife, mother, employee and entrepreneur that attracted me to coaching. Throughout my career I have been able to reinvent myself and adapt to my environment.
My activity is called "Design your Future" because I am deeply convinced that everyone can create and seize life and career opportunities.
Committed to supporting women and men at key moments in their career I work with my clients to create the resilience, visibility, motivation and commitment that enables them to make their best choices and build the career path that’s right for them.
I help managers and their teams to :
- develop a common purpose
- set clear and specific goals
- open up effective channels of communication
- grow, perform and achieve demanding and challenging tasks
- provide on-going feedback and learning opportunities
Through individual coaching, team coaching or collective intelligence approaches I help people to get to the heart of themselves and become actors in their own journey.
Career coaching is about stepping back and creating thinking time allowing you to choose your own direction, find opportunities, reveal your full potential and find your added value. Identifying your accomplishments and uncovering your values and your passions will help you reflect on what comes next, discover where the best opportunities lie and allow you to build the confidence and courage necessary to undertake the next step in your career – or why not even a change of direction. Obtain the keys to a successful resumé and Linkedin profile and increase the scope of your visibility.
Supporting women at all stages of their career development – newly qualified, maternity, management and leadership positions, international mobility - and encouraging companies to improve their gender diversity. Helping women overcome the inequalities with which they are confronted – bias, judgement, stereotypes, unequal pay – by developing a true vision of their value and competencies, their career path and the profession they are evolving in.
As an Erickson high performance team coach, I work with your team to identify clear purpose, goals and actions along with vision, mission and values. Encouraging creativity, flexibility and agility, together we optimise people’s strengths, create space for all points of view and value personal diversity. Recognising breakdowns and mistakes, continuous learning is valued and decision making frameworks are created to move the team forward towards their goals.
“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the end”
C. S. Lewis
Co-create with like-minded professionals and benefit from their experience and their advice. Co-development rests on the principles of collective intelligence – small groups of professionals come together with the objective of finding the answer to a challenge or an issue affecting their professional activity. By following a clearly defined process, the group – equipped with their experience, brings their questions, clarifications and answers to the challenge owner. During the sessions the group learns, grows and matures in harmony, develops leadership skills, deepens the thought process and develops their autonomy.
Whether it’s attracting, developing or retaining staff with the required skills to meet present and future business needs, coaching can benefit both the individual and the organization. Supporting top performers, creating positive work environments, accompanying talented individuals to exceed their goals – maximizing strengths, encouraging diversity, creativity and innovation. Add value to your corporate training programmes by incorporating a coaching element, support new managers with leadership coaching and give them the tools necessary to create an environment where their teams feel engaged and motivated.
“If there is a rare quality in life, it’s self-awareness. Self-awareness of the difference between you and your patterns and the impact of your patterns on those around you.” Tony Robbins.
Used in leadership, management, team building and coaching, the DiSC model helps you understand your preferred style of communication and the impact you have on your key stakeholders. Discover your strengths, your limitations and how you can leverage your style to strengthen your communication, increase your influence on others around you, overcome challenges, and increase the chances that others understand your ideas.
I offer a variety of face-to-face and online coaching, training and facilitation services that will help you develop your competencies, overcome challenges, and allow you to achieve your individual career and life goals. I cater to each of my client’s personal needs in order to unlock their full potential. Contact me to start your pro-active journey today.
Unlike training and consulting, coaching is a process that taps into your own resources. It unlocks your existing skills and potential, allows you to overcome barriers and move forward with what's important to you. Understand what you want, why it’s important, how you will get it and how you will know when you’ve got it. Teams work on their mission, vision and values allowing them to create cohesion and move effectively towards a common goal.
Using collective intelligence techniques to capitalize on the diversity of the group and working with groups or teams, workshop topics cover women’s career development, self-awareness, communication and behaviour, sustaining healthy teams and developing professional practices.
Improving soft skills, such as communication and empathy, which enable better team work and more progressive relationships within the organisation. Developing essential management skills, such as defining objectives, giving feedback, delegating, time management and public speaking.
