Say a few words about yourself
Born in France and raised in both France and the US, I have always evolved in a bicultural and bilingual environment. I studied business in Paris -where I got a Masters in Business Management at ESCP Europe - and worked several years in the media and advertising industry in Paris and New York. During all those years, I was always a coach for my friends and family, for my colleagues and even for my bosses. So I finally decided to listen to my inner self and realize my potential
as a professional coach.
I enrolled in the Coaching Certificate at New York University (NYU) , where I was taught what coaching really is and how it differs from other disciplines that people often confuse it with (therapy, consulting, training and mentoring). There, I acquired the necessary skills and competencies to become a professional coach. Meanwhile, I also applied and trained for an accreditation with the International Coach Federation (ICF) which I obtained, thus making me Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
Both these trainings taught me how to listen for my clients' real potential and help them use their best resources to find their true vocation and pursue it. The most important learning for me was that a coach is a facilitator, not an advisor: I help my clients find their own solutions and goals and I empower them to act upon them; I do not tell them what I think they should do because who am I to do so ?
