My experience
A rich and diversified cultural and professional background
I have 25 years’ experience of living and working in Belgium, my home country, and as an expat, in Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria on two occasions and Luxembourg, where I live at the moment.
Je suis diplômée d'un master en gestion et d'un master en philologie germanique. Avant de devenir entrepreneur, j’ai occupé diverses fonctions de gestion commerciale et administrative, de communication et le recrutement dans les ressources humaines et d’assistanat d’une direction générale. Avec le temps, je suis devenue une nomade moderne.
The trigger
De l'effet miroir est née une ambition
A coaching assignment for a woman (French, of African origin) in West Africa convinced me that it would be helpful to develop the intercultural skills of these young managers, who represent emerging potential for the company and are sometimes put at risk to guarantee the success of a project abroad. It seemed to me beneficial to do so before they set out on this path.
As I’ve been through a number of culture shocks myself , I am now able to better understand the challenges that this situation can throw up as a woman and an intercultural coach. In this respect, I believe I can help business leaders to create conditions that are conducive to the success of their international project through trust and authenticity.
My approach
Des valeurs humaines fortes au service de l'action
I am convinced that coaching provides the best possible support for managers aiming to develop on the international scene and to promote cultural diversity above and beyond prejudices.
It is, in my view, extremely important to build trust with my clients. Moreover, I am firmly convinced that taking proactive action and setting clear targets can change the life of an individual and the lives of those around them.
Coaching managers to help them adapt culturally to their new country and to the professional context gives them stability, fosters their motivation and guarantees that their foreign assignment will be more efficient.
My key values as a coach are diversity, sont la diversité, l’intégrité, le respect, l’autonomisation et la sincérité. Savoir prendre de la distance, être résiliente et cultiver l'humour revêtent également une grande importance à mes yeux.
A Modern Nomad
A positive mindset, open to the world and to other people
J'ai la grande chance d'avoir déjà pu concrétiser une partie de mes rêves de voyage qui m'ont permis de rencontrer des personnes formidables et de mieux me connaître en dehors de mon cadre de référence.
J'ai ainsi pu élargir ma vision du monde et relativiser mes croyances parfois limitantes. Je me suis découverte plus créative dans un espace non conventionnel où il m'était laissé une grande liberté d'action et je me suis aussi mieux acceptée comme une femme qui se construit de préférence dans l'adaptation à des changements forts.
Over the years, I have become a modern nomad. I am naturally spontaneous and positive. I like to inspire and encourage others so that they can build their own project, their own vision. The bright colors I like to wear reflect the impact that African culture has had on me as well as my passion for foreign cultures and interpersonal relations.
I am married with three children, je suis mariée et mère de trois enfants. Je leur suis reconnaissante du soutien, de l'amour et de leur confiance, ce qui m'a aussi permis de grandir personnellement et professionnellement.
