Your next professional step starts here
Are you looking for a change?
You are a company founder, a CXO, or a manager. You have experience and you reached a significant position.
Yet, something is not right, you are asking yourself questions: You like what you do, but not the way you work or the people you have to work with. You feel prevented in your aspirations.
You want to grow within your company, to change jobs or projects, perhaps even your profession or career, start a new business or be your own employer. Maybe you have that confused urge for change, but you cannot exactly say what the reason or the goal are.
You are looking for help to decide your future, based on who you really are, and free your energy to act on your decisions in the real life.
I am your personal advisor, your trusted partner to manage your career development.
Together, let’s build your personal strategy for professional change, and develop your own path of action.
Services: Tailor-made support for you
My approach
We develop joint dynamics where I help you reach the goals that we identified together. Our first exploratory meeting allows me to understand your curent situation and expectations. Together, we decide the type of help or support you need and I will provide.
My approach is highly flexible and depends on your current situation and needs. However, we often deal with the following aspects.

Implement a job-search campaign
We work to build a strategy for a new career plan or implement a job search campaign: Learn to use job search tools , build your own communication tools, learn how top take control of the interview process, benefit from my own global professional network, etc.
How it Works
Depending on your needs, we can work in different manners:
- Face-to-face or videoconference work sessions
- On-the-job support for yourself and/or your team
- Assistance in finding a new job, through a pre-decided program and a series of modules.
Depending on each client, I also carry out personality tests such as MBTI or TMS with the help of certified practitioners. The results make it possible to evaluate real personal aspirations, far from any predefined path.
More than a consultant,More than just a coach
