“When you get the most out of yourself and learn how to put your best foot forward, that’s when I’m at my happiest!”
Deeper understanding of self and some great, practical time-management unlocks. I’ve gained deeper clarity on my career path and made strides on personal/professional balance. I feel more confidence and conviction in my journey. Hélène was incredibly approachable and patient, a great listener, and always able to pivot to zero-in on what was most relevant. I appreciated her asking if she could hold me accountable.

I now have a placement acquired during this coaching journey and have found steadiness in my life as a result. I feel more grounded in the midst of chaos, calmer, and confident in my role. I appreciate using strategic thinking and having clarity on process setup. I’ll always remember, “Let’s take one ball at a time.” Hélène's calming and grounded presence was much appreciated and needed.

Knowing I had my 1:1 sessions with Hélène every 2-weeks helped me to structure my week more effectively knowing I could save my concerns / challenges I had for that time. It has helped me save time, improve customer satisfaction, and boost my confidence in leading.
