Welcome! My seemingly French name masks my English roots, yet my accent and unmistakable British humor usually give me away. Raised in Switzerland, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a coach and educator.

My childhood in Africa ignited a deep fascination and intuitive understanding of intercultural dynamics, enriching my empathy and broadening my worldview, qualities I infuse into my work.

Decades of experience as both a coach and educator have centered around the power of collective learning. This role has emphasized the importance of discovering and integrating new perspectives and skills. My extensive work with clients from the Middle East and insights into various cultures have deepened my understanding of diverse viewpoints.

With a blend of decades in banking and extensive coaching and teaching experience, I offer a rich mix of empathy, knowledge, and experience in every interaction. My commitment to lifelong learning, especially in philosophy, coaching, and psychology, enables me to incorporate innovative approaches into my work..

Professional Background

My professional journey began with a deep passion for history and geography, followed by studies in English Literature, Education, and Geography. These early interests laid the foundation for my comprehensive understanding of various cultures and worldviews.

In the finance sector, I gained insights into human behavior and economic dynamics, while also deepening my consulting skills as I trained to become a Business Economist. These experiences enrich my grasp of operational processes and strategic planning, knowledge that I now purposefully integrate into my work.

These diverse experiences led me to my true calling: As a coach and educator, I leverage my knowledge to support individuals on their personal and professional paths. My work is a synthesis of exploring cultures, applying humanistic principles, and fostering individual growth.
