Since I started my company, coaching has allowed me to reflect more, think deeper and enabled me to keep on challenging myself. I want to share some of those things with you, hoping that they will resonate with you or help you do things differently when needed: - It is okay to try new things and let them go if it doesn't work for you - Until a year ago, I was in that phase of helping everyone that reached out, every time they asked for help, even if it took all my energy from

Hi guys, boy, has it been a while since my last post! We have been in lockdown for a while here in Sydney, NSW and I feel like the weeks just go by so fast... It has been over 3 months now maybe even 4... BUT I am quite happy to have worked on my growth mindset! My work is 100% online and I am able to manage my days how I want. I am also able to study what I want, when I want may it be coaching programs or languages. Last year, during the Wbecs Summit, I attended a chat with

Hi guys, well I thought I would write a post about what I've been seeing lately as I think you might relate without even realising. In the last month I've been having conversations with 90% of my clients feeling: - Exhausted - Lack of motivation / focus - Mentally charged - Work load being crazy - Looking for something to drive energy back to them I honestly want to check in with you and see how YOU are feeling. Are you experiencing similar things? - Waking-up tired ? - Rolli

Hi everyone, good afternoon, it has been a while eh? I have moved flats, been confined in Sydney for 2 months and got busy...Aren't we all? I wanted to share some cool news though. I was contacted not long ago by another Gallup peer coach, Francisco Reyes, who runs his own Coach podcast on Spotify and Apple. I wanted to share it with you so you get a gist of : - What it is to work with me, - What is going on at the moment in the coaching space with the coachees across the glo

Last night I couldn't go to sleep without writing this article to then realise that today is my birth mom's 71st birthday, funny how things happen for a reason, without you realising it. This story could take a bit longer but I have decided to put in on paper instead of a video. After randomly looking at photos lately, I feel so at peace with my story and it is also my biggest "WHY" for joining Fitted to work as a Mentor. I thought that by sharing it with you, you could also

I will start this post by explaining why I became a Strengths Career Coach, I love a good story. I have always liked making people aware of their strengths and I would do that by listening to them, talk about what they peers, colleagues, managers say about them, ask powerful questions to get that "aha moment". I have always loved it. The background to this is "education in France" primary school, secondary school, high school, you name it. It has always struck me how: From a

I had discussions over the years with different leaders trying to adapt to a new leadership roles. If you are in the same shoes or have been, I wonder if you will also realise that you are having the same issues. I have heard statements like: - I wanted to keep the same management style as the predecessor - I wanted to adapt to the team and lost myself - Peers are pressuring me to be a tougher leader but it's not me - I wonder if I was made to be a leader and lead a team A fe

Wow, its already been a year. Gosh...I can barely believe it as I write those words down. I really wondered a year ago, what today would be like, feel like and if I would have had the strengths to push my company where I wanted it to be: Job accomplished! For starters, screw the pandemic, starting a business is tough whatever period we are in but doing it in a new country, with no network, in a middle of a massive grief, was really hard BUT I tapped on my strengths and got cr

I have always been a believer that when people know more about their strengths they thrive faster because they know what they do well. We have all heard from some teachers or anyone that was not too wise, what we do not do well instead of what we are actually doing really well. Isn't it nice sometimes to focus on the opposite to feel better? Focus on the positives ! I have always liked to spot people's strengths and what they did well. I wanted to have an international framew

When you think about your job search, creating opportunities for yourself, moving forward... I'm sure it sounds like a daunting task and man, I'm not going to lie, for an entrepreneur it is the same. That daunting task of creating something new for yourself... so how do you get that done? what are the steps? what should you do? I am a true believer that you don't achieve anything without a bit of " elbow grease" you know. There are many ways to create opportunities and that c

When I launched my career coaching business, I heard many coaches, entrepreneurs, saying how this was a bit of a lonely journey. I have to say that I didn't mind it at all but probably because my husband is working from home, so setting-up my business at home was pretty good. I did wonder how else I could learn from others and grow a network? - I attended a lot of webinars and networked with other coaches that attended the same webinars afterwards - I increased my hours of pe

My story In 2016, Bart and I decided that by the end of the year, we would have left the UK for a new adventure. He got a job offer and in October 2016, we moved to Singapore. We were young and craved a new experience more than anything else, so we barely researched the market and went on our way. While packing, I researched anything online related to my own country, in Singapore, to see who I could get in touch with ASAP. I looked-up the French Chamber of Commerce in Singapo

I texted my mom yesterday afternoon (in the middle of the night for her) to tell her that I had passed the exam for my ACC certification from ICF and was finally certified. I was as excited as exhausted. She answered right away and told me something that stuck with me "wow well done darling, you started the year in tears and ended it in an amazing way". 2020 has been such a tough year for everyone, at many levels and our stories are different and linked at the same time: we h

I don't know about you but I usually take about 3 weeks off in the summer to go back to Europe. Due to covid, it won't be possible, we actually can't even leave Australia at all (I want to settle it down with all my friends asking me when I am coming back this year haha sorry guys)! After a move to a new country, building my business from scratch, expanding my network, thanks to webinars etc it has been so busy that I didn't even realise I needed a break. It feels like we are

When I am asked what my clients' main pain points are in their career, I see various ones, but the ones that often come back are: I left my job but don't know how to explain it during an interview I don't know how to sell myself as I don't know my strengths I don't know how to make my resume / experience stand out I keep moving countries due to my partner, I look like a job hopper, how can I sell myself and still prove that I'm committed? How do I create a simple but believa

Courage, Respect, Generosity & Resilience have always been some of my main values. I never really realised it until I looked back at my life to find them and told myself my own story again. I was born in Minas Gerais, Brazil and grew up in France. When I finished high school, I did a year-long exchange and aspired to go to Australia but instead, I was sent to California for a year, to learn English. I loved my experience in the US and would do it all over again if I could. I

You have finally made it to the hard step, catch someone's attention for a job interview. Was it your resume? your pitch? who knows but congrats! This is always great to know you've been noticed. Unfortunately, sometimes, the hardest part is getting a call for a 2nd round. How can you impress your interviewer? There are times when you put pressure on yourself to find the next role, you get interviews but you don't really want the job... other times when you also wish to chang

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Karen, I just relocated to XYZ English speaking country, unfortunately I won't be able to work because I don't speak English... I don't know what to do, I never worked in English, I can't stay at home 24/7" Do you recognise yourself in the above statement? Do you feel this has been/is you? Do you still wonder how you can improve your level of English? I will start with a short story. When I was 18 years old and fluent in English after liv

Today, yesterday, last week and even tomorrow, are starting to look the same as we have been confined for a month or so. It is not always easy to cope with the idea of not being able to go out as much as we did but we are all in this together and we are saving lives by staying at home. Are you feeling a bit negative some days because of everything you see on social media, on the news, stressing over your family, friends, loved ones getting sick ? How about making your day a

Do you often want to get some things done either for yourself personally or professionally but you actually never get time to do them? It's done to prioritising what you actually want to get done right? If you have to chose between taking a bath, watch a tv Serie on Netflix or doing admin, we know which one gets at the bottom of that To Do list. I thought I could give you ideas of things I've started to do during the confinement, or told my friends to do (not everyday...) to
