Hi, I’m Sophie
I help global professionals navigate career and leadership transitions – with clarity, confidence, and without losing themselves.
The higher you go, the harder the human parts get.
I work with people who are figuring out what’s next – and want clarity and confidence as they move through it:
a move, a stretch role, a step back, or a moment when the old version of success doesn’t quite fit anymore.
I’ve led Human Resources strategy, teams, and operations across the EU, UK, and US. I’ve supported multiple international acquisitions as an HR executive and guided hundreds of performance reviews for some of the world’s brightest, most mission-driven professionals. So I understand how hard it can be to navigate change when the stakes are high and the path isn’t obvious.
Now, as an independent coach and consultant, I help global leaders navigate complexity with clarity, compassion, and the confidence to grow without losing themselves.
How I Help
I offer tailored coaching for global professionals navigating moments of change — the kind that don’t come with a clear playbook. Whether you’re moving countries, redefining your role, or trying to lead well when the stakes are high, I help you find clarity, confidence, and a way forward that actually fits who you are.
Career & Leadership Transitions
You might be stepping into leadership, stepping out of it, changing direction, or quietly asking yourself, “Is this still what I want?”
I work with people who are in that in-between space – helping you get clear on what matters now, make sense of your options, and move forward with confidence, not just momentum.
This is for you if you’re navigating a pivot, rethinking success, or trying to decide what’s next without losing yourself in the process.
International Relocation Coaching
Changing countries changes more than your postcode. New cultures, new expectations, new ways of working — and often, a shift in how you see yourself.
I help you navigate the professional and personal impact of international moves, so you can adapt, lead, and grow in your new environment without losing yourself in the process.
Performance & Leadership Challenges
When performance gets messy – with your team, your peers, or yourself – I help you cut through the noise. That might mean navigating a tough feedback conversation, dealing with underperformance, rebuilding trust, or questioning your own impact as a leader when the stakes are high. Together, we work on how you lead, communicate, and make decisions when it matters most.
“In just two sessions, [Sophie] helped me find the confidence and clarity to make a decision I don’t think I would have taken without her support. […] She brought in perspectives I hadn’t yet seen.”
