1. What qualifies you as a Coach/Trainer?
My practical experience in the areas of marketing, communication, and sustainability as well as years of learning in bachelor’s, master’s and other further training courses. I have also completed a one-year training course as a transformation consultant.
2. What measurable results have you achieved together with your clients and what sets you apart?
Many of my coachees have been able to find a new job that suits them and represents the same values. What they have all learned is how to communicate even better – what they really want and what is important to them. I have helped others to start their own business and they have received a start-up grant!
3. What do you find most fulfilling about your job?
The varied and diverse people that I am able to accompany. I really appreciate their trust and the fact that we can spend a few weeks together on an equal footing. I love it when I can contribute my experiences and perspectives and we develop strategies for the coachees that will bring them something in the long term, namely the change that they have long been hoping for.
4. What do your clients say about you?
I’ll give you a few examples here :):
“Coaching with Cécile was great! Not only did she help me to put my ideas into practice but also offered me a wide range of supporting materials. I especially appreciate gaining more financial clarity and finding a good structure for my job application process.”
“Cécile is incredible to work with! She has a way of making you feel so seen and so heard. Every session I’ve had with her has been incredible! I appreciated the engagement she made in me and our coaching sessions. She is a role model and an inspiring example of how to persevere through any challenge. I am thankful for the many hours she spent building up my future professional path.”
5. What drives you and what is your favorite task as a coach/trainer?
Supporting people, listening to them and working together to develop possible strategies to bring about change.
6. What are you most proud of when you think about your career?
I started my own business straight after my Master’s in sustainability and it has worked well to this day and continues to bring me a lot of joy and the variety I was hoping for.
8. What is the best way for you to switch off?
The best way for me to switch off is without screens, on long walks, with or without music. However, I get the best ideas when a lot is going on around me: like at concerts, in a museum, or on a plane/train.
9. What are the possibilities of individual coaching – and where do you possibly reach your limits?
Coaching should always be individual; in my opinion, this is the only way coaching can be successful. I don’t want to run through a pre-designed program from A to Z, but rather listen at each meeting to what is on the agenda today and what needs the person has anyway. That has worked well for me since then.
10. How do you recognize a good coach?
Authenticity and a humorous manner build trust and give me the feeling that I can be who I am.
11. In your own words: What does a coach do?
Accompany a person over a certain period of time and towards a previously defined goal. That sounds very stiff. In other words: Be there, understand, inspire, encourage and initiate change.
