Welcome
Whatever brings you here, you’ve made a start.
Hi, I’m Lucie and my mission is to get you to clearly see and fully use your potential. I help people grow and achieve their goals.
I am really happy you are here. This means you show up and that’s a great start.
I help professionals get better at recognising their strengths and believing in how good they are - and use this to achieve their ambitions.
Why work with me?
Throughout my career as a senior leader and manager in education and the third sector, I have managed many large teams and have worked with hundreds of talented people. Yet way too often, they either didn’t know how good they were or refused to believe it.
In fact, many were sure they were not good enough to grab great opportunities thrown at them: promotion, their next big role, new professional challenges, bigger teams to manage, leadership responsibilities…
I decided I wanted to do something about this: I hate seeing talent going to waste and people ignoring or turning down opportunities, giving up on their big goals and dreams simply because they tell themselves they’re ‘not there yet’.
I have been there myself - I know how it feels! I grew up with lots of ‘musts’ and expectations on who and how I should be… and it took me a while to realise I let all those voices and other people’s views limit me. I took jobs way below my capabilities (i.e. cleaning and shop assistant jobs - with a master’s degree, 5 years of full time teaching experience and speaking four languages) or jobs I didn’t enjoy - I was worried that I wasn’t good enough, and each time I got a new job I suffered a horrible impostor syndrome. Are they going to find me out?
It took me a while to learn who I was, who I wanted to be and actually show up and put my skills to a good use. I learnt that I am incredibly resilient and have a lot to offer and now there’s almost no looking back.
I am an educator, so of course I believe everyone can learn. I will work with you to help you decide what approach works best for you and how to get where you want to be. It won’t always be easy but it’s definitely going to be worth the effort and energy.

I took inspiration for my artic fox coaching business from this super cute animal as it’s one of the most resilient mammals on the planet - able to adapt to living in harsh environments and surviving very frigid temperatures. I have been so impressed by its agility and adaptability.
I read an article about a female arctic fox that walked from Norway to Canada (over 3,500 km) at a fastest recorded movement rate, completely stunning researchers (and me). I don’t think that for one second this arctic fox thought: Oh no, I am not good enough/strong enough/ready… Do you?
This speaks of strengths and resilience, which I want for all my coaching clients.
