What is coaching?

Individual coaching is a process of supporting a person with the aim of developing his or her potential and achieving full professional and personal fulfillment. 

The coach does not hold the solutions... by listening and asking questions, he helps the client to take the necessary step aside to see his situation from another angle and find the solutions that are right for him.

As a CNA member, you receive 1 free coaching session per year.

Co-construction and support, 2 key words in her career path

After graduating in Economics and Marketing, then in Urban Project Management at Ponts et Chaussées, she began her career in deadline management for the construction of high-speed rail lines and freeways: "Getting all the trades to agree on a schedule was very formative, and I have used this project management and co-construction skill in all the positions I have subsequently held".

She then turned her attention to regional economic development, with the mission of federating a region's economic players to attract companies and talent. Arriving in Nantes in 2013, she became Deputy Director of the Nantes Saint Nazaire Economic Development Agency, assisting companies with their development projects. 

A burn-out in 2017 prompted her to reconsider her career path and her choices, and she became a coach (trained by Alain Cardon MCC, training validated ACSTH by the ICF) and collective intelligence facilitator (trained by Thomas Emmanuel Gérard), supporting individuals and teams in their professional and personal development. "When you're going round in circles on a subject, when you feel you're slipping ... you save so much energy and time by calling in a coach! It helps you gain perspective, make the right choices and implement the necessary changes." 

She joined the alumni team in September 2021, as coach and head of the Centrale Nantes alumni department.

2 unique details  

he's also a yoga teacher: "my burn-out made me realize the importance of listening to my body on a daily basis, and yoga helped me so much in this process that I wanted to pass it on to others".

Another interesting detail: she spent 6 years abroad, so she speaks English and Spanish, and "I have a great appetite for exchanging ideas with international people". International alumni you're welcome!
