Leadership Coaching & Mentoring
A sparring partner to help you to reach success
Hélène creates a working space where people can be who they are, truly.
They feel safe, not judged, accepted and supported. Hélène is able to bring in the level of energy that is needed, from energizing, to soothing.
Mixing conventional and creative approaches is Hélène’s way of helping her clients build, consolidate their own path. People who have already worked with Hélène come out of the sessions, feeling ready for the next steps, whatever their challenges are.
Manager new to the role:
Often times, there are expectations (self built or expressed by management) to find ways to deal with the many challenges you face on your own. One can feel overwhelmed and lost. Having an external person by your side to support, guide, challenge, share experiences and explore ideas is very powerful.
Established leaders:
The life of a senior leader can be tough and sometimes lonely. It is not always easy to share doubts, questions with peers or even the boss.
Having someone, external and neutral, who can be a listener, challenger, sparring partner proves a tremendous asset to free up the mind and get back to full power.

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!"
