From overcoming personal adversity to becoming an influential leadership coach, this is Cécile’s journey.

How I Got Here

Cécile’s story begins at 6 years old when she first experienced the power of performance and connection through dance and theatre. At 21, her life took a dramatic turn when a serious event left her disfigured and 45% disabled. Losing confidence and her sense of self, Cécile didn’t just recover—she transformed, becoming an embodiment of resilience, which she later shared in her TEDx Talk on Resilience, "Bouncing Forward."

In 2013, Cécile’s involvement with Toastmasters International helped reignite her passion for personal growth. Her journey to the European stage and winning accolades like Best Speaker in Switzerland were pivotal in rediscovering her voice and leadership potential.

My Mission: Make it happen

Today, Cécile helps leaders and change-makers cultivate their capacity to influence, impact, and inspire through authentic connection and presence. Her approach blends mental fitness, resilience, and conflict management, empowering leaders to navigate challenges with confidence and clarity. Whether guiding executives or teams, Cécile is dedicated to fostering leadership that drives positive change.

As a Positive Intelligence Coach, an Insight Discovery Practitioner, and with advanced training in the TKI for conflict management, Cécile’s expertise extends beyond communication skills—enabling leaders to master mental resilience, authentic leadership, and interpersonal excellence.
