" I have had an extremely positive and productive coaching experience with Eva who helped me determine a clearer path towards the achievement of my personal goals and particularly my desired career. I thought of talking to Eva at a time when my job was becoming a chore and I was looking for ways in which to do something more meaningful and appropriate for my skills and personality. But we rarely are aware of what is meaningful to us and what are those right environments where we would truly bloom. And I think coaching with Eva is perfect in that very direction- determining precisely what is right for you as individual, which of your skills you would really want to develop and make use of, and getting to the essence of your real priorities. With Eva's help, I managed to find the appropriate arguments to quit a toxic job, to have the courage to study and take a position in a field that gives me incredible energy and entices me the way a job really should. Eve's unique approach doesn't just provide a structure to know yourself better - it ensures that all your important future decisions are built on an awareness of your personality traits, your strengths, but also the things that you are passionate about and really drive you. This has already proven extremely helpful in a few job interviews I have had in getting my current job, as well as building relationships with my friends and work colleagues. Eva has incredibly efficient tools to guide you in a journey of self-discovery and can bring just the right arguments to help you see things from a completely different perspective. Thanks to her, I gained the confidence to make major changes in my life that I'm truly proud of!"

"...after being let go of my job... I am now working 100% on my entrepreneurial project. I have never felt that good and confident about myself professionally which is a really good feeling. With the benefit of the hindsight, being fired from my previous job is probably the best thing that happened as it was not the right place for me (although it was painful medicine). When you and I started to work together, I highlighted personal development s one area where I was weak and I am pleased to say that I have been able to read a lot, meet, network with lots of interesting people, study, become aware of mindfulness and to finally let go of my daily worries of "not making it in life". I also agreed to accept my situation, be satisfied with what I have and to let go, stop worrying about the future and stop comparing myself to others. This has freed my mind from a lot os negative thoughts and garbage. Now I am giving my entrepreneurial project a real chance without worrying about the uncertainty. If it doesn't work out, I am confident that I will find something else worthwhile. You accompanied me in the beginning of this process and gave me great tools and guidance which helped me tremendously to get back on my feet. So, Thank You! Really."

"our time at INSEAD was not just an important moment of transition for my partner as an MBA student but for me as well as I began to transition from graduate study to the working world. Eva provided me with a structure to approach this difficult transition by helping me evaluate my career and family goals. She always had a variety of helpful tools at her disposal - exercises, written material and though experiments. But I personally found her probing and provocative questioning to be the most useful tool for wrapping my mind around this period of change. Many INSEAD student and their partners spend a year living under a big question mark - or many big question marks. Coaching gave me a sense of empowerment in facing those uncertainties and provided me with positive ways to deal with some of my own mental habits that might have been holding me back. If you want to reevaluate your goals or are expecting to effect change in the near future, Eva's coaching is an excellent investment - and a true adventure with yourself."

" I can better lead people now- after taking some time on my own and having this in mind makes my life easier and more fun!
I often say that Eva turned me into an introvert...
I worked with Eva after my first career setback last year. I was ready to get into a new job but first I wanted to better understand what happened and find a way not to repeat the same mistake. Eva challenged my thinking and forced me to see myself as I am, not as I'd wish to be. Indeed I am an introvert... Thanks to Eva, I now learned to work and lead as an introvert. Believe me this is more efficient, less stress and more fun than pretending I am an extravert...
Eva is also a joy to work with. She is nice, funny and honest! I enjoyed every minute I spent with her."

"I am very satisfied with my coaching experience. Eva is a high performing coach and helped me in many ways. She has a very pragmatic approach and at the same time is very encouraging and challenging. She has also a very good understanding of our organizations, its culture and specificity which helps a lot. She is very accommodating and never short of her time: she makes herself available in between sessions if needed and provides ample reading and reflecting materials which I found particularly useful."

" I did the career coaching program, as I was questioning whether I was in the right career for me and I wanted to make the most of any career path I would decide to follow. Career coaching allowed me to do a very deep self assessment and identify clearly what I was looking for in a career and how I would reconcile that with my values, motivators, life expectations, etc. Eva, by always having the appropriate questions and innovative suggestions, opened my eyes, helped me think differently sometimes and take a different perspective when needed. Coaching is not only about thinking, but it is about going deeper in your thoughts and feelings, being proactive in your life and taking the necessary actions to implement any plan you make to reach your goals. I strongly feel that coaching can take you to places you would not have visited by yourself and therefore make you grow as an individual.
I must say that since I started coaching, I feel I have much better tools to continue my reflection about my career. This is a life journey that will require patience, introspection, proactivity and sometimes flexibility. However, I know much better now what I want and how I can bring it to my life. Coaching gave me a very solid base with the valuable self-assessment Eva helped me to perform and it gave me the courage to take any action I may need to take to reach my goal. I am thankful for our paths to have crossed each other... Thanks!"
