What mistake do you make over and over again?
Over-commit on impulse.
I was running from a pack of wolves. Interestingly they got close and ended up being puppies.
I am at an open air jazz concert at sunset.
In conversations where I discover how words are used in all sorts of interesting ways.
I love being an observer and watching my family interact and hanging out. That’s an image that really brings me happiness!
I work with people, helping them become a better version of themselves.
I put a lot of focus on young people who today are learning about themselves as teenagers and tomorrow will be the generation that leads us.
My aim is to guide them through their challenges of growth and uncertainty while preparing them for tomorrow’s challenges.
To have followed my gut on many occasions, both in my personal and professional decisions.
In my early days as a coach, I was not entirely clear about my terms and conditions on cancellation policy and payment. I found myself failing to see my own value. This has been a constant learning curve for me.
I think more than being an entrepreneur, I see myself as an “inspirateure.” I use this french word as the one in English doesn’t move me enough. I find myself moving people from within, so they can then lead themselves forward.
A woman who genuinely inspires me is my own mother. She is not someone I wish to be exactly, because I am my own self, but still, I see so many traits in her that I feel I can benefit from. Also, her hustling has always awed me.
I worked on commission and did cold call door sales for an internet provider.
A love/hate relationship, I would say.
Playing the guitar.
I love to make up games for parties.
I would like to have more round table conversations around youth mental health, and involve them as speakers on the subject.
My writing. It’s where I reacquaint with myself and can give expression to my authentic self.
Listen more carefully to what is not being said in the conversation.
