COACHING EXPERIENCE

Marianne works with C-suite to mid-level leaders, many of whom manage multiple teams facing critical issues, and who may be divided geographically, and therefore require support with the transition of their own leadership style, support to affect their team’s performance, as well as support to effect change within the entire organisation.

COACHING STYLE AND APPROACH

Marianne draws from a wide range of styles and techniques in her coaching, including emotional intelligence and neurolinguistic techniques, strengths-based coaching, creativity, and art techniques. From these, she builds a tailored approach for her counterpart, picking the technique best suited to support them to reach their objectives, as well as assisting them to grow and build resilience. Serving the leader’s best interests, she dares to challenge with a pinch or irreverence when needed, always in a caring way.

BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

Having worked at Ajinomoto in Tokyo, then Andersen/Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers in Luxemburg, Marianne has led multi-cultural teams, and developed excellent critical and analytical skills. She worked for 10 years at the Central Bank of Luxemburg, holding key responsibilities in project management, audit, financial and operational risk management, as well as in large-scale crisis prevention.
