“When I decided to take up the executive coach session with you, I had expected that you will provide me with the tools to be a good and inspiring leader. I very soon realized (and was a bit disappointed) that there are no such magic tools. I had to find my own ways and my own leadership style.

The biggest value from the coaching with Christophe is: I feel more confident in myself, which helps me to do my jobs more effective and importantly I feel less stressed and happier. I learn to accept non-perfection.”

CEO,
PwC, Vietnam

“Christophe has been a solid and reliable partner to our R&D team for almost 2 years. R&D is critical to our business. The leadership team started this journey on a sceptic and doubtful note, yet ended it in a very different space, co-created together: more cohesive and focused.

Christophe’s hyper vigilance, attention to detail, care and utmost professionalism earned him the trust from this very passionate and highly demanding team.”

Chief People Officer, East-West Seed, Thailand
