About Athena

I help executives at a turning point (pivot, sale, desire for change, loss of meaning) to gain clarity and make decisions, without navigating alone.
5 times an entrepreneur, I know the intensity of these milestones.

You lead a company. And for a few months, a question has been looping in your mind, one you don't dare ask anyone around you.
Should I sell? Pivot? Stop everything and start something new? Continue, but differently? You've built, held on, persevered. And today you feel a chapter is ending, without knowing which one is beginning.

This isn't a performance issue. Your business is running, or has been running. It's a clarity and decision-making issue, and that's precisely what you can't solve alone, nor with your executive committee, nor with your spouse who doesn't always have the right perspective.

I am a certified coach, specializing in career changes and entrepreneurship, and I have been an entrepreneur 5 times. I have created, developed, sometimes sold, sometimes closed.

I know the weight of making a decision that impacts the company, the teams, and your own life.
I'm not here to teach you how to manage or perform better; others do that very well.
I'm here to help you see clearly what's truly at stake for you, and to make a decision.

Specifically, I can help you when:
- You are considering selling or transferring your company, and you don't know what comes 'after'.
- You feel that the current project no longer reflects who you are, but stopping seems impossible or terrifying.
- You want to pivot, to launch something else, but you lack perspective to choose between the options.
- You've succeeded, on paper, yet something feels wrong, and you don't know who to talk to.

MY METHOD:

One-on-one, in-person sessions. We start with your situation, untangle what stems from fear, fatigue, or a real misalignment. We explore the options, even those you don't yet dare to voice. And we move forward. Towards a new chapter.

  • ETRE VIVRE AGIR
    Facilitator in Ecological Transition, Sylvotherapy, and Guided Meditation
    January 2020 - Today (6 years and 7 months)
    France
    Etre Vivre Agir (To Be Live Act) is the alliance of ecology and well-being, two interconnected values. How can we respect the earth if we don't respect ourselves? And vice versa. The current situation of the planet ecologically and ethically, as well as our consumption and life habits (consume, discard, destroy, repeat) lead to two major needs: the search for meaning on one hand, and harmony with our environment on the other. I try to address this by facilitating and organizing transformative retreats, training, and events that help people live and act more in coherence with themselves, and with environmental and climate challenges. "Etre, Vivre, Agir", or EVA, these workshops combine: physical activities (like yoga and meditation), interactive courses on global ecology, creative workshops with personal development tools, career transition tools, and sharing sessions. We share moments of reconnection and boost in nature in a restorative setting. Their goal is to trigger action, and to release individual and collective potential. The workshops are for both individuals and companies who wish to raise awareness and unite their teams around these topics.
