“When I met Corinne, I was Head of Group Credit risk Consolidation Systems for BNP Paribas, based in Brussels. This Corporate Department, I created from scratch 6 years before, was expected to move to Paris. The context was highly sensitive due to some future uncertainties, both for the activity itself and for the team. I asked Corinne to help me with the preparation of the move, the identification of threats and mitigators, and the roadmap elaboration.
Corinne’s seniority and positive approach were key in that context. I must say I was regularly losing my temper, had difficulties to overcome all the obstacles, especially aggressive human behaviors.
Corinne was of a great help for all my team, acting as a coach for numerous members. And so, she did with me. I learnt how to calm down, and how more powerful and efficient I was when in that mood. I learnt how effective coaching could be, especially when occurring in the process.
Thanks to my new self-control and my improved communication skills, we reached a successful outcome on this transformation project, allowing most of the team members to find a new position. The handover was smooth, and the transition period lasted 6 months, within the agreed schedule.
Since then, I regularly experiment the power of a step back attitude and positive communication, both in my professional and personal life.
Corinne has a great talent to empower the people she coaches, not only help them to understand how to improve but make them feel their transformation step by step from the inside.”
