"We both share a love of mountains,
hence the name Annapurna"

Our Story

ABOUT US /

We first met as part of the ADLER Professional Coaching Certificate Program in Toronto. We bonded over our experience working with global companies and shared stories about moving across continents and learning how to adapt and thrive in various cultures. Through working together, we discovered we shared the same passion and commitment to helping individuals and organizations become future-ready.

Having grown up in France and Lebanon respectively, mountains represent the values of challenge, resilience, partnership and open-mindedness we both learned at a young age. Mountains are also a perfect metaphor for the journey of life which includes peaks, pitfalls and challenges.

Found in Nepal, the name of the Annapurna Mountain refers to “the giver of nourishment” (Anna) and “full, complete” (Purna).
We believe this is a good description of coaching , and as coaches we see our role in helping you nurture the awareness of your true self in order to help you achieve the goals that will bring you a sense of self fullfilment. Together, we have combined our rich corporate and industry experience, our ability to serve clients in various languages, our sense of empathy and the belief in the notion of endless possibilities to help individuals and organizations alike realize their true potential in this ever changing world of work.

Whether you are at the start of your transformation journey or almost at the peak, you can trust us to be your partners in climb to help you reach new summits.

at Annapurna Coaching

Originally from France, I’ve always had a strong desire to connect with people. In fact, I built my entire career around that principle – working as an executive, a leader, a consultant, mentor and coach in various countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, China and now in Toronto, Canada.

With over 20 years of experience in the technology, financial services and not-for-profit sectors, I pride myself on my ability to work with individuals and teams looking to embrace change and find success in their personal and professional lives. I understand and know the various challenges that people face in large or small, centralized or autonomous, bureaucratic or dynamic, listed or private owned organizations.

Through coaching, consulting and training, I help my clients create alternative viewpoints and tap into their strengths in order to move towards their desired change. My hands-on industry experience is an asset when working with organizations and their leaders to navigate challenges such as intercultural management, entrepreneurship, business development, organizational transformation, transition, innovation and step-change visioning.

I value courage, commitment and integrity and believe that open-mindedness, creativity and positivity are the keys to success in any transformation journey. Particularly passionate about working on change, transformation, development and intercultural management, my mission is to help you break through barriers and achieve higher levels of fulfilment and authenticity.

In addition to my Canadian coaching credentials, I completed the certificate in Intercultural Studies from the University of British Columbia, as well as the initiative for women executive program at the Rotman School, University of Toronto. I am also a member of the ICF, AAGEF and co-founder of the TFBN in Toronto, and a consultant in organization and Business Development.

My services are available in English, French, and Spanish.
