“Not only have I received accreditation, but also experienced the course’s rich hands-on learning and coaching practice. Super immersive course in all things coaching, transformation, and new ways of working. Recommended to anyone working on transformation initiatives. ”
Director, Design & Digital, EBRD“Un regard percant qui presse le devenir de l'autre et le laisse advenir; des questionnaires puissants, sans réponse sur le moment, qui nourissent encore longtemps notre pratique; une conscience de la diversité d'expression qui ouvre la porte à l'expressivité singulière de chacun. ”
French & Drama Teacher“L’enseignement de Lise m’a ouvert les portes de la connaissance de soi et de la transformation! Avec de la régularité, de la discipline mais aussi de la pratique ludique et éclairante, la formation de School of change apporte des clés incontournables pour explorer le coaching sous toutes ses facettes. En adoptant une vision positive et objective de moi-même, j’ai également fait un bond pour incarner les qualités indispensables de coach. C’est en cela que la formation proposée par Lise est transformante et parfaitement Holistique et je la recommande de tout mon cœur!”
Director, S&P Ratings“Lise has the rare combination of great professionalism and humanness which manifests itself in very empathic albeit demanding conversations which really make you grow. She masters the whole repertoire of roles as coach, mentor, teacher, role model, neutral listener, and critical questioner and always encouraged me to reflect on my needs to evolve and learn rather than imposing a one size fits all approach. I can't think of better support to embrace and finesse coaching skills. ”
