Executive Coaching : my tool to support leaders
If being an entrepreneur or a business leader were a physical activity, endurance running would likely be the most accurate comparison. Preparation, stamina, and strategy — these are all part of a leader’s daily reality.
As such, many of the techniques I use to support executives are similar to those used by athletic coaches or mental performance trainers.
Executive coaching is a tool for growth — both personal and organizational.
Leaders don’t seek coaching only to solve problems, but also to anticipate them, manage them more effectively, and improve overall performance.
What are the goals of the leaders who work with me?
They are varied and numerous, often combining both soft skills and leadership abilities.
When you hold a managerial or executive position, the stakes are high — and your personal growth directly impacts your organization’s results.
By choosing to be coached, you send a strong message to your team: growth is essential, and it applies to everyone.
Working on your leadership means working on how you perceive the world and manage your emotional state. This emotional intelligence will impact your company — and just as significantly, your personal life, including relationships with your family and friends.
Finding the right work-life balance isn’t always easy. Coaching is a powerful tool to help you restore that equilibrium.
At the forefront
- Identify your opportunities and growth levers to better position yourself in both your professional and personal life. Strengthen your role as a manager and a leader.
- Move toward greater efficiency and fluidity. Build confidence, develop your leadership, and establish strong relationships.
- Become more receptive, lead with greater ease. Improve your communication skills and strengthen your relationships with your teams and all stakeholders — partners, shareholders, and more.
- Gain clarity on your goals and create a plan to achieve them. Take thoughtful, effective actions with ease. Make sound decisions and manage change effectively.
- Address the loneliness of leadership by being supported in a confidential and trusted coaching relationship.
Which means
- Managing your stress and strengthening your resilience.
- Asserting yourself and no longer fearing conflict — shifting from trying to please to simply being yourself.
- Releasing self-imposed pressure, and fully owning your decisions with confidence.
- Letting go of tension in your relationships with others.
- Moving away from a critical stance toward one that builds connection and fosters collaboration.
How can I support you as a coach for c-level executives?
Perspective
As a leader, you have a unique and global vision — but that perspective is also limited by your position. As an executive coach, I can tell you what you truly need to hear — even if you can’t see it or don’t want to. I offer objective, constructive insights and an external point of view.
Support in making better decisions
Conversation is one of the best ways to develop strategy and ideas. You need a sounding board. Executive coaching provides real support in this sense. I’m a trusted, neutral, and objective partner — never judgmental — here to help you test and refine your ideas.
Support through change
Like any good coach, I help leaders move forward. Past successes can be a major barrier to change, as there’s a tendency to repeat what worked before. The executive coaching I’ve provided for over 10 years — across a wide range of industries and company sizes — helps accelerate change and ensure long-term success.
A trusted ear
Executive loneliness, suppressed frustration, disappointment, and anger can cloud judgment and damage relationships. You too need a safe space to express yourself freely — even to vent.
Techniques to develop your full potential
To grow, you must continually develop your skills and step outside your comfort zone.
I provide tools, techniques, and methods such as RTT® Clinical Hypnotherapy, Havening®, MindsetMap Coaching, and the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) — all designed to challenge you to focus your time and energy on what truly matters, support your progress from present to future, and help you strengthen your leadership and personal mastery.

Two programs
tailored to your challenges
Personalities and reasons for seeking coaching vary widely, which is why the number and frequency of sessions differ from one executive to another. The duration depends on your goals, your needs, and the specific challenges you’re facing. I offer two practical programs designed to help you initiate the change you need.
Shift happens
To infinity and beyond
A 12-month program to support you in achieving your medium- and long-term strategic goals.
They testify
I arrived with my doubts and worries, but also with a great desire to move forward. Those anchors from the past – that couldn’t go on, I had to blow them away. With Anne Rigaud‑Walker, I felt listened to and trusted; the relationship suited me, the exchanges were rich and relevant. I needed competence and relational intelligence, which the ‘To Infinity & Beyond’ coaching brought me…
What results?
They are varied and numerous, often overlapping, and involve both soft skills and hard skills.
When you hold a managerial or leadership role, the stakes are high — and your personal growth directly influences your organization’s outcomes.
By choosing to work with a coach, you send a powerful message to your team: growth is essential — for everyone.
Working on your leadership means working on how you see the world and how you manage your emotional state. This emotional intelligence impacts your business — and just as significantly, your personal life, with your family and friends.
Finding a healthy work-life balance is not always easy. Coaching is a powerful tool to help restore that balance.
Our framework
in practical terms
Operational Sessions
Held via video or in person
In French or English (I work frequently with international executives on assignment)
Each session typically lasts one hour.
During these sessions, together we will:
-
State and clarify the reality of your situation. Take a step back, bring order to your past, present, and future. Identify harmful patterns and clear them. Open the door to self-reflection, help you ask the right questions — and find the answers.
-
Expand your awareness, revisit and understand your emotions. Access the energy of transformation, (re)connect with your inner resources to follow through and truly let go.
-
Explore new paths, tap into your own inner strengths. Transform and unlock the best version of yourself.
Tailored coaching options
Choose between a short-term program — Shift Happens, or a long-term journey — To Infinity & Beyond.
A range of techniques
To accelerate your progress, a variety of tools are used — aligned with your stage of development.
Some exercises are designed to help you explore more deeply, bringing valuable insights to the surface.
Others aim to promote change, encourage letting go, and unlock new abilities or skills aligned with who you truly are.
