Empowering Leaders Through Philosophical Coaching

My approach blends the analytical rigour of "Logic, philosophy of science and of knowledge" (name of my Paris Sorbonne master degree) with empathy, genuine care, and insight. Whether through short, intensive sessions or longer, periodic engagements, every partnership is uniquely tailored to support my clients in navigating complex challenges and aligning with their values.

The following is a testimonial from a Parisian school principal with whom I had the privilege of working. We met every six weeks (outside of the Christmas holidays and the summer break) over Zoom for exactly two years—about 15 sessions in total, starting on October 27, 2022. It’s rare that my support extends for as long as two years. However, each person's path is different, and some benefit from a more gradual rhythm, allowing time to integrate new perspectives and insights into their professional lives. Today, as we celebrate the end of our work together, I’m thrilled to share her reflections.

"I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Lucie for her professional coaching support, which was both guiding and illuminating—full of integrity, wisdom, and practical insights that have truly benefited me in every way.

Lucie’s coaching approach is deeply pragmatic and rigorously grounded in the philosophy of science. Her method combines a search for concrete solutions with profound reflections, drawn from a wealth of general knowledge and extensive experience in human resources within the education sector. Over time, this blend of thoughtful analysis and practical solutions has provided invaluable support. The coaching we engaged in primarily focused on my professional positioning, addressing relational, operational, intellectual, and ethical dimensions. This shared journey of understanding and fine-tuning was both joyful and effective.

Lucie is a coach, philosopher, and facilitator with a remarkable scope of expertise. Her deep humanistic commitment, brimming with empathy and respect, positively bolstered my role as both an educator and a manager.

She enabled me to overcome numerous obstacles and resolve various challenges, restoring my enthusiasm in my dual roles as a specialist teacher and school principal. This coaching experience was truly ‘beautiful, good, and true’—in line with Plato’s cherished triad. Thank you, Lucie."

Working with dedicated leaders like this school principal reminds me of the profound impact thoughtful, philosophical coaching can have on the education sector and beyond. Each journey is unique, and it's always deeply humbling for me to support leaders in strengthening their roles and revitalising their passion for their work.
