Testimonials
I could get some distance from the day-to-day and look at my current work situation from 30,000 feet. That has enabled me to find:
Some emotional distance with my work: I am able to catch my emotions but now work quickly around them by accepting them and moving forward.
Some harmony between the two sides of my professional life as a strategist and as a choreographer so I could understand that I am one and bring both sides on each single project no matter if it is on the dance floor or in the boardroom. This has allowed me to feel a bit more at peace, and remove the internal tension I was not even aware I was carrying.
A clearer picture of who I am as a professional, what role I play within the organization, and my responsibilities, especially as I am transitioning as a leader.
Some confidence to be a leader by following my intuition and also embracing my own style of leadership: collaborative, human and empathetic yet with some quality standards.

In a world full of coaches, I feel lucky I’ve found Virginie, who was one of the very few to get to the core meaning of what I do and was able to help strengthen my vision with kindness and humanity. Very rare. Very valuable.

With Virginie, I’ve been able to recognize this undertone, which I didn’t have, to increase and decipher influence patterns. I recommend Virginie to anyone going through acquisitions or mergers, or a change of boss. I gained self-confidence, but also, I learned how to never become an unkind leader
Shweta, 42, May 23
Through my time working with Virginie, I’ve grown more confident in my abilities, not ony as a team leader and mentor, but also in my transition into senior leadership.
Amy, 44, 2022
Virginie is truly experienced and is able to decipher the power dynamics at work. It is always helpful to get Virginie’s perspective to, first, understand better what is at stake, and also take what is happening in a less personal way.

Ms Coulloudon is an excellent coach, who provides insightful feedback, guidance, recommendations and tips, and in particular for my purpose, especially skilled and talented in communications and media work. In my case, I was able to improve my virtual presence and to successfully perform in an online event. She has superb listening skills, remarkable communication skills, patience, compassion and empathy. She takes an innovative approach, is experienced in several fields and organizations, including at the executive and senior levels, cross-cultural and language skills. I highly recommend her as a coach!
Ruth, Vienna, 2020
It has been two years of coaching on and off that helped tremendously break my own glass ceiling and reclaim a sense of agency in my professional and personal life, helping me reconcile multiple roles and lives in one person and one identity.
Beth, 42, NYC. 2022
This was a game-changer. I understood some points about my work and myself while talking and it helped a lot to highlight those. I now have a path to follow to improve. Thank you very much!

Virginie always brings a different insight and she gives it in such a positive way. She understands how things function in big companies and how to swim through everything you might go through in a day

Virgine has the amazing gift of looking at a situation and peeling back the layers to get to the core of it. She brings fresh perspective and amazing suggestions on how to move a situation forward. As a Coach, she is very calming, perceptive, and so wise. She is truly a professional who in just a few moments can help you shift your perspective, talk through a difficult situation, and remind you what you are capable of. Such a blessing in my life.
Tim, 46, London, 2023
Virginie was amazing. And I don’t use that word lightly like a yelp review. I use that word in that I was fully amazed by her insight, her expertise, her compassion and empathy, as well as her approach ability. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that she brings to the table. Her journalist background makes her uniquely qualified to be helping employees of the Times. But it’s her real human sensibility that sees people not just for the workers that they are but for the complete human beings that working allows them to be
Ben, NYC, (June 23)
Wow, quite tickled by my coaching experience today! I went in thinking I wanted to talk about one general problem, but this coach helped me pull out the specifics of it and then connect it to a way more resonant theme I have been struggling to tackle. So appreciative of this coaching, and optimistic about putting some new strategies into practice
Natalia, 43, San Francisco. (June 23)
I often feel that the professional anxieties have and the ones that i come to our sessions with are often a lot of noise that obscure the bigger picture, but after talking to you, you help me STAY GROUNDED and able to tune out the superfluous.
Aaron, 46, London, 2022
We focused on moving past a negative workplace experience, focusing on my project vision and personal narrative.
Natalia, 37, Tallinn, 2021
I did receive a lot of great feedback about my fears of my job transition and how to maintain some of the things I liked about my last job that I thought I would miss when moving to a new job. Virginie gives me indispensable keys in my role. Her analysis is exceptional. She understands the issues I’m going through, offers great support and helps me to evolve. Thank you!
