“I have been very fortunate to work with Sophie on highly challenging organizational and entrepreneurial projects requiring strategic thinking, inspiring leadership and operational excellence. She is an outstanding partner, who truly leads by example and excels in defining strategic orientations as well as ensuring their successful operational implementation. Besides, she is a stellar career coach, particularly for executives, and I recommend her beyond doubt to any seasoned professional facing a major transition.”

Marjolaine Blazy

Tech Innovation & Portfolio Director, BCG · Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Training Client

“I had the opportunity to work with Sophie as my career coach when I was looking to transition from the banking industry into technical leadership in fintech. Sophie helped me understand my purpose as a leader, and worked with me to refine my personal leadership style. She is an inspiring coach, full of good insights, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anybody that is looking to level up their leadership game by finding clarity, understanding and meaning.”

Alvaro Gonzalez

“I discovered myself, basically. The introspection I did during the weeks I worked with Sophie was both revealing and satisfying on a personal level. Step by step I discovered that some decisions I made throughout my personal life have a deeper explanation that what I thought and that values I thought I do not possess were in fact hidden in plain sight. This helped me a lot find balance and meaning not only in my professional activity, but also in my personal life.“

I met Sophie in a crucial moment of my career and I feel very fortunate about it. I was facing a second expatriation and an important career move and her excellence on navigating my coaching process (also through a deep personal process) was the key for me to take important and right decisions after our work together. She helped me to identify and tackle beliefs that that were impacting my confidence and leadership in negative ways. Her ability to work through hard themes by empowering courage and self trust is simply brilliant!

When I first heard Sophie give a Masterclass for my International MBA program at IE Business School, I knew there was a unique wisdom there and that she had a lot to offer, even though she did not explicitly offer or advertise her services as part of the talk. I sought her out at the end because I wanted to work on a career pivot from General Management Consulting into Strategic Business Management. The journey this began for me was completely unexpected. I did not foresee the level of introspection and "deep digging" we would need to get into in order to get to know the real me, first as an individual and then as a business executive. The time during sessions with Sophie coincided with the pandemic and after that, life got very difficult to say the least.

Business Strategy Manager · Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (USA)

I loved being coached by Sophie. A structured and flexible approach, adapted to my needs and expectations, listening and caring, stimulation and empowerment to make concrete commitments and build action plans both in the long and short terms! And such finesse in the understanding and adjustments of the guidance, and I know my level of requirements and sensitivity.
I loved the holistic and pragmatic approach. What are my values? How do I feed them daily? How does this awareness facilitate my decision making? I never would have thought that this work would help me find myself so much, to better align my personal and professional life with who I am. I put her advice into practice to experiment with new paths, establish evolution scenarios, all with the serenity of moving forward on my own path. Sophie also made me benefit from her broad network of contacts to help me with various topics. I really appreciated this “all in one” coaching, which unifies the professional and the personal. Nothing like starting off on the right foot. And the adventure continues! Next chapter: managing my energy!
