I work with leaders who refuse superficial solutions.
In a world where everyone seeks the magic formula, I defend an uncomfortable truth: transforming an organization requires courage, time, and deep work on what truly matters.
Recurring conflicts, disengagement—these aren't process problems. They're symptoms of unaddressed human dynamics. I intervene where conventional approaches reach their limits.
Concretely, I guide you to:
-
Diagnose and resolve systemic dysfunctions that silently sabotage your performance.
-
Transform communication patterns and blind spots that keep your teams stuck in inefficiency.
-
Develop leadership capabilities that create a culture of sustainable collaboration.
-
Build solid organizational foundations: culture, strategic leadership, and high-performing collaboration systems.
-
Achieve measurable results that last, because we work on root causes, not just symptoms.
Meet Stéphanie
Behind every organizational dysfunction are human beings who deserve better.
Growing up amid heartbreaking family disputes, I promised myself I would become a peacemaker. But when I entered the workforce, those same patterns followed me. I struggled with conflict management, and I often didn't feel safe.
My Professional Journey
My clinical training in psychology and social work, combined with my experience in varied contexts—public, private, nonprofit—allows me to work effectively where other approaches remain superficial. I don't simply train leaders—I guide them in developing capabilities that durably transform their impact.
I do this work because I've lived with the cost of unaddressed tensions. And because I know that behind every organizational dysfunction are human beings who deserve better.
The organizations I work with don't seek ease. They seek truth, depth, and results that last. If that's you, let's talk.

Thank you very much, Stéphanie, for your presentations at the Étinc’elle's workshops at the YWCA. Your workshop was super interesting and relevant for a program like this, which invites women to work on themselves to increase their self-esteem and personal confidence. For these women, it can sometimes be difficult to recognize their unique strengths through their difficult experiences, but you have been able to support women in this process positively and respectfully. From the beginning, I felt that the women were comfortable in your presence. They also showed their trust by opening up to you and sharing their experiences with the group. They were able to learn to recognize their strengths and the progress they have made so far. It’s a very meaningful accomplishment! Thank you for your involvement with these women. It really makes a difference in their lives!

She gave a conference on the theme of diversity at work that was highly appreciated by the organizers (IMPACT) for the Bank of New York (BNY) and the company's employees. Thank you very much, Stéphanie for the open-mindedness, professionalism and charisma you have shown!
