Organisation & Team Growth facilitator
I empower individuals and teams to reach their full potential through personalized coaching and dynamic team-building experiences that foster collaboration, creativity, and lasting growth.
About Hélène
With over 20 years of experience as a senior leader in global organizations, I have had the privilege of guiding complex transformations in challenging environments. I have worked across various industries and lived in five countries. My career journey has ranged from starting as a salesperson on the phone to leading a team of 300 people located across multiple regions. Along the way, I have designed and streamlined processes, delivered training and workshops, and successfully built organizations fostering growth, collaboration, and success.
Throughout my journey, I have learned invaluable lessons about self-awareness, human relationships, and the importance of staying true to oneself. I have faced jobs I loved and those I didn’t enjoy as much, roles where I thrived and others where I struggled—but I continued to grow through it all. I have worked with and for people I admired, and at times with some I didn’t connect with, navigating corporate politics while maintaining my integrity.
Becoming a leader, I have learned that I thrive in environments where I can take charge, drive change, and advocate for what I believe is right—whether that means leading transformations or building strong, healthy teams. The most rewarding aspect of this journey has been watching others grow and helping them become the leaders they are today.
My experience spans many cultures, as I have lived and worked in Denmark, France, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, and the UK. Coming from both a French and Danish background, this diverse experience has enriched my understanding of people, organizations, and leadership, deepening my self-awareness and enabling me to better support others in reaching their full potential.
Looking back, my passion lies in empowering others. I am committed to supporting you every step of the way, drawing from my leadership experience and deep understanding of what it takes to succeed professionally and personally.
Whether you are leading a team, guiding an organization through change, or pursuing personal growth, I am by your side to help unlock potential and drive lasting success for both individuals and teams.

Testimonials
"Even before we started our mentoring, I always admired the way you were speaking in meeting. For me it was the perfect balance between reasoning and emotion, with wisdom and conviction, in a way that would make me proud and happy to be part of that team and willing to give my very best to succeed together with everyone being in that room.
During our mentoring, every session helped me see things from different perspective, it opened my eyes and helped me dealing better with challenging situation in the office and in life."
Bianca, Senior HR Advisor, Czech Republic
"The fact that I chose you as my mentor was one of the best thing that I did. I felt always your commitment and involvement. You always make me feel secure to talk and to share the struggles that I had and see for advice. Your knowledge and examples, the challenges that you made me think about, create an area for me to grow and develop. Having you as my mentor, developed me, made changes inside me visible as a result of all learnings that you provided. I feel that I am more confident, more mature in some thinking and more secure in the way how I speak up."
Gabriela, Global Process Lead, Czech Republic
"I was introduced to Hélène, after actively looking for a coach for guidance in my next career move as well as for navigating challenges at work and life in general. Our virtual sessions were ideal to fit my schedule. Hélène's warm approach, reflected in her way of asking probing questions and reflecting back our conversation, made it very easy top open up and connect. I left each session excited and energised with a new perspective to explore. Our conversations shaped and positively influenced a number of life choices I made as a result. Whilst we never met, I always felt that Hélène had my back, so I would highly recommend her sessions to anyone who is looking for a trusted mentor or coach."
Catherine, Manager, UK
"I started with the mentoring with Helene while having a rough time at work. I reached out to Helene for advice as I used to work for her in previous roles and always saw her as a role model when it comes to Leadership and being a strong women in business.
During our mentoring-sessions I realized that it's not only about my job; I mainly have to work on myself. She showed me through different tools and exercises how I can work on myself and re-focus my view of life.
I really appreciate my sessions with Helene and always feel energized and motivated afterwards!"
