Jenny’s Story
Jenny, a bubbly British woman in her 30s came to me one February morning.
She was a brillant lawyer from London, who followed her husband Paul after he was transferred to Paris for work.
After the excitement of living in « the glamourous city of lights » started to fade away, she began to realize that it wasn’t everything she had imagined.
Although she spoke French very well, she still felt there was something missing. She didn’t fully understand the French manners and habits. For instance, she had unintentionally neglicted to properly greet the baker : » Excuse me, I would like a baguette please… » and the baker replied « Here we say good morning first ! ».
We started with me listening to her confusion. We discussed ways for her to verbalize her frustration. This was the first step to establishing trust to allow her to feel more comfortable sharing her feelings and thoughts.
Step by step, she became more aware of her resources and was able to move forward with more confidence. My role was to provide support, while allowing her to have the freedom to make her own decisions.
A few months later, in October, I received a message from Jenny saying she signed a contract at a design agency in Paris.
Her coaching helped her realize her value and potential to go after a new career abroad.
About Me
I have always been passionate about travel stories and life beyond borders. By chance, I found myself in law school (in Lille, Paris and Belgium) where I studied European law.
For me, working wasn’t just a way to make money but an opportunity to expand my horizons. My international consulting experience (at L’Oréal and Axa) opened my eyes to new ways of thinking. I experienced first hand the difficulties of being an expatriate. I realized I wanted to help those in similar situations who had a desire to achieve their professional goals and face their fears head-on.
To learn the proper techniques, I made a decision to pursue an education in coaching (Paris VIII…). It was at this moment, 5 years ago, that my life had changed.
I truly believe that we are all capable of the best, and that with the right people who are willing to listen and help we can achieve our professional goals.
I consider myself as one of those people who can help you to succeed, right now !

Testimonials
" It helped me rediscover myself "
« I worked with Aurelie on how to improve the efficiency of a multicultural team composed of direct and indirect reports. Thanks to Aurelie’s coaching and personalized tools, I have learnt how to adapt my management style through the identification of people beliefs, values, bias and barriers (including mine) and through the analysis of the interactions with and between my different stakeholders. A better understanding of everyone realities and expectations helped me assert myself as a manager and create a lasting positive dynamic in my team. I would definitely recommend Aurelie to anyone seeking personal development coaching to help addressing intercultural challenges. »
« I had the chance to work with Aurelie during 6 months. She trained me very efficiently and drove me to very important positive changes. The results ? I’ve launched my activity as Digital Marketing Consultant, I started my blog from the scratch and got an Digital MBA paid from my previous firm. Aurelie has also strong skills in intercultural relationships, which is very important when your are an expat like me (I’m Italian). She really listens to your need and adapts her talk to it. To sum up, I strongly recommend to work with her.»
« When Aurélie told me about her coaching project, I took this opportunity to be one of her client. I have so many ideas that I would love to do but could not prioritize which one should come first and having difficulties how to make it happen, part of it is because I am a foreigner. Aurélie helped me how to identify them, gave me confident in my decision making process. And I found her ways professional and comforting. For sure I will never regret asking her as my coach! Thanks a lot Aurélie! »
