“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage” (Anaïs Nin)

Christel effortlessly bridges the gap between strategy and human behaviour and growth, through personal coaching and group endeavours. By tapping into your core, she helps you connect with your team, organisation, and goal. Modern leadership fosters people’s belief in their potential and encourages them to experiment, backed by know-how, strategic insight, and compassionate guidance.

Christel facilitates change trajectories within organisations, fostering connection with their mission, society, and each other. She does this through personalised interactions or in small groups, through conversations, outdoor experiences, and creative therapy or coaching.

Through her role as an executive in the social sector, Christel grasped the true value of authentic leadership. Her time as a travel guide sharpened her abilities in strategic thinking, taking the lead, quality control, group guidance, strategic change management, crisis management, HR… In all her endeavours, she helps people grow, broadens perspectives, and encourages experiential learning.
