Coaching for leadership transitions

For people stepping into leadership, taking on more responsibility or navigating change at work.

 

Together, we make sense of what's happening at work, in your role, your team and your relationships - so you can make good decisions and have the conversations you've been avoiding.

Based in Paris. Working internationally in English, German and French.

Coaching

Sometimes you don't need another opinion from friends or family.

You need someone who isn't part of the situation. Someone who listens without telling you what to do, asks the right questions and helps you see things from a different perspective.

Many of my clients are reflective, ambitious professionals. They don't need more information, they need someone who understands their reality of leadership and organisational life and who can help them make sense of what they're experiencing.

My role is to help you understand what's really going on, so you can decide what to do next with confidence.

 

Together, we look at the people, relationships, expectations and patterns shaping your situation. Once those become clearer, making decisions and having difficult conversations becomes much easier.

Thank you very, very much for your professional coaching support. I was really moved by the way you work with people. You were able to clearly work out my challenges from my vague explanations and not let me lose sight of them during the sessions. I really appreciated your sense of humour which did not mean that you lost a certain seriousness when working on the topics. The main thing I take away from working with you is to appreciate what I have already achieved. I realise that it's okay to sometimes simply relax and not have to give 120% all the time.  Every time I walk past my mirror, I have to smile because I can't help but think of our shared appreciation phrase ;)

about me

About me

Before becoming an executive coach, I spent more than 11 years working in international organisations across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

I led international projects and programmes and worked closely with executives, multicultural teams, public institutions and partners from different backgrounds. Over time, I realised that what fascinated me most was not only delivering projects, but understanding why some organisations collaborate effectively while others struggle despite having talented people.

Today, I coach leaders who are stepping into new roles, taking on more responsibility or working through difficult situations at work. My role is to help people understand what's really happening, challenge assumptions, see what they might be missing and decide what to do next.

I trained as a certified executive coach at Henley Business School and hold accreditations recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Association for Coaching (AC), and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC).

Originally from Kazakhstan, I grew up in Germany, spent one year in the USA and have lived in Paris for the past ten years. Living and working across different countries, cultures and languages has taught me to stay curious, ask better questions and see situations from different perspectives.
