Executive coach · Cross-cultural leadership

Lead with calm. Bridge cultures.

I work with executives and leadership teams who operate between several cultures — in Brussels, Paris and online — to decide with clarity, be heard and work as a team beyond misunderstandings.

What you are living

Does this sound familiar?

  1. You have just taken an international role and the codes still escape you.

  2. Your leadership team brings together five nationalities, and as many ways of saying no.

  3. You carry everything, and you are starting to feel it.

  4. Your messages are not received the way you meant them.

These are normal situations when you lead between several cultures. They can be worked on.

Three ways of working together

Every engagement is tailored, starting from a first conversation. Each proposal is by quote, and price guides are published.

Method

The approach in four phases

A clear framework, a sustainable pace, and respect for what each culture brings.

  1. Explore

    A 30-minute discovery call, then a scoping meeting, three-way if your organisation funds it.

  2. Clarify

    Observable goals, written and shared, drawing on the Compass and a 360° feedback if useful.

  3. Experiment

    90-minute sessions every two to three weeks, and concrete experiments between sessions.

  4. Anchor

    A review, an autonomy plan and a follow-up session three months later, to carry on without me.

About

Two cultures, one person

“I was born in Édéa, Cameroon, and grew up between Douala and Namur.”

For fifteen years, I led human resources teams between Brussels, Abidjan and Douala. Since 2016, I have worked with executives and teams operating between several cultures, to decide calmly and truly understand each other.
