Certified Leadership Development and Executive Coach
Hey, I'm Izzy
A French Leadership Development and Executive Coach currently based in NYC, USA, but my reach extends far beyond. Beyond my role as a coach, I am an Early Childhood Educator, a meditation facilitator, a yoga instructor and an improv artist.
​
Before my New York adventure began a decade ago, I served as a Daycare Director in France. Upon relocating to the bustling streets of the Big Apple with my husband, I chose to embark on a coaching journey. This decision aimed to refine my listening skills and elevate my leadership expertise.
​
Today, my focus centers on working with employees in startups, solo entrepreneurs, school directors, and their teams. I thrive on curiosity, constantly seeking to broaden my field of practice and explore new work environments. Now, my clientele includes major players in diverse industries such as pharmaceutical companies, banks, universities, and healthcare companies.
​
In addition to my coaching endeavors, I am actively involved as part of the faculty in a Doula Training Center. Here, I play the role of a Leadership Coach, guiding students through their professional and personal transformations as they transition into the roles of Doulas and entrepreneurs.

Creativity is intelligence having fun
Albert Einstein
Creativity is a fascinating journey into an expansive space where possibilities unfold without limits. I picture it as a dynamic arena beyond conventional thinking, sparking boldness, seizing opportunities, and radiating novelty, openness, positivity, and persistence. In my role as your Leadership Development and Executive Coach, I view creativity as a potent catalyst for transformation.
Creativity as A Personal Compass for Coaching Excellence
When tapping into my creative mindset, it's not just about experimentation; it involves a deliberate process of trying, failing, learning, growing, choosing, succeeding, connecting, inventing, and creating. Creativity, for me, is the heartbeat of my coaching philosophy. It propels leaders beyond limits, fostering a culture of innovation, resilience, and unwavering leadership excellence.
​
Inspiration for Transformation
Creativity inspires fresh perspectives, encouraging bold decision-making and cultivating an environment where leaders can adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
​
Unlocking Untapped Potential
For me, creativity is the key to unlocking untapped potential, empowering individuals and teams to explore uncharted territories, question assumptions, and discover innovative solutions.
​
Fostering Collaboration
In the realm of creativity, collaboration thrives. The most impactful solutions emerge when diverse perspectives come together, enriching the coaching journey with varied insights and approaches.
​
Fueling Continuous Learning
Creativity is an ever-flowing source of learning, encouraging a mindset of experimentation and embracing both success and failure as valuable learning experiences.
​
Elevating Leadership Presence
Leaders who embrace creativity exude a distinct and authentic leadership presence. It enhances communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, setting the stage for leaders to inspire and motivate those around them.
Reflecting on my experiences as a daycare director, where I've witnessed the remarkable creativity of children—effortlessly exploring beyond the confines of conventional thinking, engaging in experimentation, observation, failure, success, and continuous learning—I'm reminded of the invaluable lessons we can glean from their fearlessness. As we delve into the coaching journey, let's not forget the way we used to function as children and strive to reconnect with that innate fearlessness in exploring ideas and the world around us.
While the thrill of creativity may wane in adulthood, it never truly vanishes; it merely awaits rediscovery. Personally, I firmly believe that everyone possesses the innate power of creativity—it just requires a gentle reminder.

Echoing the wisdom of Nancy J.

Let's delve into your reality and embark on an educational journey to imagine possibilities that extend far beyond what you currently perceive. Together, let's make creativity the driving force behind your transformative leadership journey—a journey that resonates personally and professionally.
