From Self-Doubt to Strategic Clarity

When I began this coaching journey with Laurence Maire, my primary goal was to prepare myself to secure a corporate strategy role within the next two years. Looking back, I can confidently say that this coaching experience has been a pivotal moment in my professional development.

From the very first sessions, Laurence created a space of trust and openness that allowed me to reflect deeply and grow. Her guidance helped me gain clarity on my aspirations, better understand my personality traits, and build a concrete and actionable roadmap. One of the most significant outcomes of our work together was a noticeable improvement in my self-esteem. Through personality assessments and targeted discussions, I was able to identify key development areas and acquire tools to strengthen my professional presence.

We also focused on personal branding, where Laurence supported me in enhancing my CV and crafting a stronger, more aligned professional image. She provided insightful networking strategies and shared valuable resources, including connections with headhunting firms relevant to my field.

The journey wasn’t without its challenges. Some personality test results were tough to process at first, and I had to confront my own reluctance—rooted in imposter syndrome—about exploring opportunities beyond my current company. However, facing these challenges with Laurence’s support helped me uncover hidden values and realign my priorities with more authenticity and purpose.

Today, I leave this coaching program with a clearer vision of where I’m headed, greater confidence in my abilities, and a solid action plan: expanding my LinkedIn network, identifying companies with strong strategic focus, refining my pitch, and continuing to develop my emotional and interpersonal skills.

I am truly grateful to you Laurence for exceeding my expectations. your consistency, active listening, transparency, and ability to foster a warm yet productive coaching atmosphere made this experience not only effective but transformative.
