What I do as a Coach

I help people overcome work challenges and unlock their full potential. How? Through regular meetings over a 6 to 8 month period, I’ll lead you on a thought-provoking self-reflection journey.

Together, we’ll aim to expose and understand your inner working processes and habits. We’ll uncover insights, and set growth-oriented goals.

With over 10 years of experience in talent management and certification from the International Coaching Federation, my coaching empowers you to overcome obstacles.

Areas you might want to address with me could be:

Clearing out daily stagnation or distractions to make room for strategic thinking

Navigating sensitive situations with emotional intelligence

Clarifying professional motivators and next steps

Overcoming stressors such as a professional setback, performance anxiety or imposter syndrome

Embracing change and uncertainty with confidence

I work directly with individuals and also collaborate with organizations to help team members address feedback they’ve received, and support colleagues in their growth. My clientele spans professional services, from senior partners to new associates, and diverse roles like lab directors, managers and entrepreneurs.

Wherever you stand in your career journey, I’m here for you.

Who I am

After earning a B.A. in Political Science at McGill University and law degrees from the University of Ottawa and Université de Montréal, I started my career as a litigator at McCarthy Tétrault, a top Canadian law firm. I specialised in class actions and medical malpractice.

In 2013, I assumed the role of Professional Resources Director at McCarthy Tétrault. I concentrated on nurturing the professional growth of lawyers and law students and led a myriad of projects related to talent progression and retention. I also led the student recruitment process in Quebec as well as performance evaluations.

In 2021, I became a Professional Development Manager at McKinsey & Company where I was responsible for people initiatives for the Montreal office. I coached consultants across all levels on a variety of topics such as promotions, imposter syndrome, feedback absorption, stress management, leaves, and transitions. A champion of transparency and clarity, I conducted 360 feedbacks to help folks understand the impact of their behaviour and set goals to change. I also led the maternity leave program for Canada and coached women on off-boarding and reintegration. As a team coach, I assisted colleagues in kicking-off client engagements and realigning during challenges.

At McKinsey, I also co-chaired the Canadian EDI Learning and Skill Building pillar and spearheaded initiatives for the Montreal women’s network and mental health chapter. I co-facilitated week-long training sessions for 150+ participants, delving into emotional intelligence, difficult conversations and personal values.

Based in Montréal with my husband and daughter, I’m fluent in both French and English. A dedicated hiker, I’ve trekked 400+ kms in France. Quebec’s winters find me skiing every weekend: I’m a certified ski coach and instructor. Off the slopes, I’m either browsing at the local library, running & stretching, or hosting dinner parties.
