  2. Choose what fits

    Individual sessions of 30 minutes or 1 hour, group sessions, team coaching, or the 8 to 12 week program. We plan around your needs and your schedule.

  3. Small wins, real change

Coaching

What is executive, resilience and wellness coaching?

Coaching is a partnership between you and me, as an individual or as a team.

I create a unique and safe environment where you can be seen and heard. With my coaching, you become aware of your strengths, behaviors, beliefs, values, assumptions, and purpose. This new knowledge opens doors and brings you new possibilities.

My coaching practice makes the most of neuroplasticity, the ability of the neural networks in your brain to change. In other words, you create new neural pathways by learning and practicing different ways of thinking and behaving. And there are so many ways for you to reach your goals.

Each small win gets you closer to your bigger goal, and each coaching session helps you gain self-confidence and self-awareness, increasing your wellness and resilience.

What we work on

Four areas, one goal: people who lead well and last.

Leadership

Knowing yourself is the most practical leadership skill you have. Leaders learn to sense stress earlier, prepare for hard conversations, and respond with intention instead of impulse.

Teams

Systemic Team Coaching tailored to your team’s unique dynamics. We bring hidden patterns into view, build trust and psychological safety, and help people choose different ways of working together.

Resilience and work-life balance

Resilience is not pushing through. Leaders learn to notice their stress, recover and restore, build healthy routines, and model that balance for the people around them.

Culture

What does your team feel when a colleague gets promoted? We look at culture honestly and shift it toward abundance, with practices leaders can use the same week.

Outcomes

What participants take back to work.

From the Executive, Resilience and Wellness Program and my one to one work with leaders.

  • Reconnection to their strengths, values and purpose, which reduces stress and symptoms of burnout.
  • Stress management skills and practical tools for a healthier daily routine.
  • More self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-confidence and resilience.
  • Better communication, self-compassion and compassion for others.
  • The ability to shift perspective and see challenges as chances to learn.

ICF study, 2022

Coaching increased performance by 43%, communication skills by 39% and productivity by 38%.

Work-life balance and self-confidence each rose by 34%.

A phenomenal partner

Sylvie was my coach for a couple of months where we focused on wellness and business development. Despite the short time, Sylvie helped me get connected to my strengths and learn to use them in situations where I felt stuck. She supported me in removing the noise as I was defining my brand and get to a definition that felt authentic, accurate, and impactful. In the process, she also helped me get back to balance between work and life and create a healthy routine that I want to follow. Sylvie is a phenomenal partner, who makes the process of achieving one’s goals feel effortless. Sylvie doesn’t solve your problems for you, rather with one conversation makes you confident that there is nothing you can’t achieve yourself. Sylvie makes it easy to tackle the challenges that scare you and make them feel like a walk in the park.

My story

In my previous life, before coaching, I was an executive for large international corporations in the fashion industry. I worked in Paris, France, and in New York, and traveled the world looking for ideas and suppliers. The job needed good communication skills, creativity, and initiative. I especially enjoyed working globally with people from different cultures. I had to adapt to their ways of working and found it fascinating.

My professional life and interests changed when I had my children. When they were diagnosed with ADHD, I looked for ways to help them learn differently. I read many books on neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and learning and the brain. I understood that we can learn using different parts of our brain, create new habits by developing new neural pathways, and so create lasting change. I could now see possibilities and opportunities. Learning became fun and holistic.

Years later, I remembered these lessons and used them to get through stressful times. After this chapter of my life, I was determined to learn the science behind it all.

What helped me become so resilient?

I asked myself: why was I resilient? What did I do right? What happened in my body and my mind? And most of all, how can I help others do the same?

Resilience and wellness became my passion and my purpose. I went back to school and earned a master’s degree and a PhD in Mind and Body Medicine, learning more about resilience and how it affects the mind and the body.

After all this personal experience and research, I know how to help you increase your resilience and live a healthier and more purposeful life.

Program

Executive, Resilience and Wellness Program

One focused hour per week, 8 to 12 weeks

This program helps leaders become more resilient in a sustainable way. You learn to notice and understand your stress, strengths, beliefs, values, behaviors, and life purpose, while developing communication skills, self-care practices, compassion, and a mindful mindset.

Resilience and Wellness Program

Why this program is a must in today’s world.

The COVID-19 pandemic showed how much the business world depends on its people. The Great Resignation pushed organizations to find new ways to attract and keep their employees.

What does research tell us about resilience and wellness at work?

Studies show that resilience can be taught, and that it changes how resilient people work. A study of 360 healthcare employees, mostly physicians and nurses, found positive links between engagement and performance, and between performance and resilience. In other words, resilient employees are more satisfied, more engaged, and perform better than non-resilient ones.

Another recent study tested a 5 week strengths-based coaching program with employees in the automotive industry. It found significant increases in self-awareness, self-efficacy, resilience and hope (self-measured), and in work engagement, goal attainment, well-being and performance (measured by supervisors).

A Gallup report (2021) found that 66% of U.S. workers feel disengaged, 51% stressed (46% in 2020), and 40% worried (34% in 2020). Disengagement is one of the three main symptoms of burnout, which according to a Forbes article rose from 43% before the pandemic to 52% in 2021. Yet only 30% of employees believe their workplace is a safe place to discuss mental health with their managers (McKinsey, 2021).

The 12 week program will

  • Help your employees and executives reconnect to their strengths, values, and purpose, which reduces stress and symptoms of burnout while increasing well-being.
  • Teach stress management skills, promote a healthier lifestyle, and give participants new tools for daily life. Develop self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-confidence, and resilience.
  • Focus on individual communication skills, self-compassion, and compassion. Research shows self-compassion protects against burnout and strengthens resilience. Participants also learn cognitive reappraisal: shifting perspective and seeing challenges as chances to learn.
  • Offer weekly one hour group coaching sessions with assessments, individual and group work, and references to recent peer reviewed research.

Be the change agent. Help your employees and executives reconnect, reduce burnout and build resilience at work.

Resilience Reimagined: Why Bouncing Back Is the Wrong Goal

Most leaders are taught that resilience means pushing through and bouncing back. This talk challenges that entirely, using neuroscience and coaching practice to offer a new definition that actually serves leaders and their teams.

What leaders leave with

  • A new definition of resilience rooted in neuroscience
  • The difference between recovery and restoration
  • Three shifts that change how teams perform
  • One powerful question to take back to their team
“What would it mean for the people around you if you modeled restoration instead of endurance?”

My talks and workshops turn the neuroscience of resilience and leadership into tools your audience can use right away. Every session is research grounded, practical and tailored to your audience, culture, and goals.

Schadenfreude vs. Mudita: The Two Emotions That Reveal Everything About Your Culture

What does your team feel when a colleague gets promoted? That one question reveals more about your culture than any survey. This talk uses neuroscience and two powerful concepts to help leaders see their culture clearly and shift it on purpose.

What leaders leave with

  • A new lens for reading their culture honestly
  • The neuroscience behind both emotions and their impact
  • Three practices to shift the culture toward abundance
  • One honest question that stays with them long after
“The next time someone around you succeeds, what do you want to feel? And what kind of leader do you need to be to feel it?”
