A selection of feedback from executives and organisations we have worked with :

“Ariane listens well to ensure clear understanding, then her well timed questions trigger new thoughts and solutions I had not before fully considered.  Reading me well, her coaching style was at times serious and direct; at other times more light-hearted and fun.  This style got results for me, my career has moved forwards quicker as a result.”

Anne, Managing Director, Investment Bank

“Ariane is a skilled coach who, over our sessions, empowered me to pursue my aspirations by helping me to structure my time with strong goal orientation and strategic focus.  Her calm non-judgmental manner, ability to listen and extreme patience, built my confidence and provided me with the practical tools to achieve my objectives.”

Gloria, Head of Business Development, Asset Management Company

“I found the coaching engagement incredibly worthwhile. I came in a cynic and left bought into the value of coaching.  You highlighted my blind spots and called things out as you saw them.  I now have an awareness and understanding of how tone and body language can have such a huge impact on those around me.  You kept me on my toes & held me to account which was great. I remain energised about the behavioural changes we worked on.”

Charles, Partner, Consulting Firm

“Ariane is very experienced in financial sector and what is needed to lead in this field, she senses the challenges and difficulties that arise specifically when working in this area of business. She is a very enthusiastic and competent coach, and helped me understand which behaviours I needed to ‘loose’, as ‘what had got me here would not take me there’. She supported me in taking my leadership to another level, focusing on my strengths and flexing ‘under used behavioural muscles’.  She has a very structured approach which allowed me to understand my progression, while also being flexible and adapting to my evolving needs over the sessions.  I highly recommend her. She truly helped me develop my professional potential.”

David, Managing Partner & Portfolio Manager, Private Equity

“Ariane had a good grasp of my professional challenges as she has worked in finance for over two decades herself. Furthermore she quickly developed a good understanding of my personality. Her insight into both enabled her to work with me on a tailored plan to optimize my effectiveness. The fact that our sessions led to tangible follow up that I’m now incorporating daily was very valuable to me.”

Joost, Head of Global Distribution, Hedge Fund

“As a starting comment, I would like to say that having these sessions was very liberating for me.  Ariane did a good job with putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable with discussing difficult subjects candidly.  Frequently she added that extra little bit that made her coaching much more valuable than coaching I’d had in the past.  I thank her again for the time she spent with me, it has been a very good use of my time.”

Scott, Head of Exploration,  International Energy Company

“Ariane really helped me to step back and focus on the big picture, which made me feel more confident in my role.  She also allowed me to see and understand  what was integral part of my job.  This opened new avenues of development areas for me on what was not working at my best.  Where her coaching challenged me it allowed me to grow.”

Anne, Logistic Director Europe, International Luxury Company

“Our Executive Committee comprised of ‘old’ and ‘new’ members, including myself as their new Country CEO. I was replacing someone with a very different personality and ways of managing. The team had to find their new rhythm with me as well as shift their own ‘old habits’. Ariane designed and delivered a 2 day program where we worked to create a new dynamic together. This two-days workshop was beyond my own and the team’s collective expectations. It largely contributed to our ‘Codir’ now working very well together, in a fluid, transparent and fully aligned way, in a really positive atmosphere.”

Paula, Country CEO for an International Luxury Group
