Coaching for personal and professional development
“Develop your potential, achieve your dreams!”
The purpose of coaching
Coaching is an approach to personal development which is tailored to each individual or group, the purpose of which is to improve skills and performance. Based on ethical rigor, a deep responsibility and an enlightened path to action, coaching is a tool which liberates each person’s potential. It is like discovering a deeply buried jewel.
- Leading your life according to your own choices.
- Feeling fulfilled in the present moment.
- Finding that essential balance between dreams and reality.
Coaching is a dance between attentive listening and profound self-reflection, where each stage of the process helps you to define your goals. Every practical step guides you closer to discovering your strengths and expanding your potential.
This approach is like finding a kindly guide on a mountain path. Coaching will help you discover answers to the thousands of questions scattered across your consciousness, in aspects as varied as :
- Personal development
- Improving performance
- Organization and time management
- Dealing with stress
- Career development
- Communication and relationships
- Goals and objectives
- Decision-making
This inner voyage and personal growth is best achieved with the expert assistance of a coach, whose skills and expertise will assist you on this path. A coach serves as the lighthouse to guide you towards the shores of your true potential.
My role as a personal and professional development coach
My primary objective is to support you in finding your well-being once again. Thanks to my diplomas and certifications and many years’ experience in psychology, sophrology and coaching, I am able to bring a varied skillset to the work of accompanying you on the path of action when you feel that you are ready to welcome change into your life.
When a flower does not bloom, one changes the environment, not the flower.
Together we will seek those resources hidden deep within you – resources which will enable you to return to the true path of your life. A coach serves as the driver to help you start writing your own story, the one you will write for yourself.
- Every one of us has a talent or a skill which needs to be cultivated, much like a plant needs sunlight.
- Success stems from self-esteem and is nourished through self-confidence and self motivation.
- Taking the first step by starting coaching is the spark that leads to change.
The role of a good personal and professional development coach is multi-dimensional. Beyond just the coach’s practical skills, a good coach needs thoughtfulness and these gifts:
- Active listening – someone who is capable of hearing not only the words but also the underlying emotions and the meaning in the silences;
- Knowing how to ask the right questions, and knowing the right questions to ask, but also when to take a step back and explore new perspectives;
- Empathy: how to build an authentic connection and a safe space where both parties can open their hearts and minds;
- Motivation: the ability to spark and support the client’s motivation at the same time they help the client develop their faith in their own potential;
- Mentorship: helping the client identify their options and make responsible choices;
- Planning: working with the client to develop a clear and actionable plan, a map leading to your objectives.
As a coaching expert practicing near Annecy, France, I love to help, guide, and inspire my clients.

My coaching technique
In the world of coaching (whether we are speaking of personal or professional coaching), each person’s path is unique. If the basic techniques appear to be the same, each coach brings their own style to the work, woven of their experience, their sensibilities and their intuition. This is the framework I use to conduct my coaching sessions:
I practice active listening, looking out for not only the words used but also the silences, the hesitations, in order to understand each chapter of your personal history.
Together we will draw the map of your personal voyage, selecting clear destinations and designating the summits to be reached, taking into account your heart’s rhythm.
We will together discuss the challenges to be faced, based on your values, your priorities, and your overall situation in order to reveal the strengths that lie hidden within you.
Finally, we will outline the steps necessary in order to achieve your goals, like a sailor who uses the stars to set his course.
I choose to work primarily with open-ended questions as a means of inviting you to explore the secret gardens of your consciousness. By using this method you will learn to find the answers within you and reveal truths that are sometimes hidden. My approach is based on helping you to accept responsibility and autonomy while ensuring that each step taken is within your power to achieve at the place you find yourself, within the context of a kind and safe relationship.

Testimonials
Before I met Nur, I lacked self-confidence and didn’t know how to deal with stress during my exams. She helped me work on myself, giving me exercises and small tasks to complete. As time went by, I could feel the progress, and I owe it all to her!
I was going through a period where everything was piling up and I couldn’t cope on my own. I came to you on a recommendation, and from the very first session I left with a smile on my face. Every session after that has brought me immense well-being!
As soon as you make contact with Nur, the process of relaxation and stress reduction begins. She creates such a comfortable, soothing environment, she listens so attentively, and she asks the right questions, that even problems thought to be immense and unsolvable are magically reduced.
