Professional background
Sophie spent the first part of her corporate career in an international context, rolling out HR policies, supporting individuals and teams in their development and transformation projects, and helping to instill new management and leadership cultures.
She chose to pursue her mission of supporting people and organizations by becoming an executive coach. She helps leaders discover their personal (and sometimes unexplored) resources and challenges them to draw even more on their authentic leadership to inspire their teams and ecosystems.
Coaching expertise
Sophie’s coaching approach is rooted in her initial training at the Académie du Coaching, where she now teaches. As a result, she is always questioning and enriching her practice. She takes care to ensure that each coaching session is a unique process, co-constructed with the coachee. Trained in the Systems-based Approach and Gestalt, Sophie helps her coachees to understand their challenges within the larger context of their particular ecosystem – and with regard to the « mind-body-spirit » dimensions of the person. Her coachees appreciate her honest approach to relationships and her boldness and creativity in coaching.
