Executive & Team coaching

Talentizzy was born out of the belief that talent is build up and the observation that few people are able to accurately know their potential. As a matter of fact, they struggle to reach their potential and position themselves adequately in their professional environment. Moreover, organisations tend to confuse performance with potential and often miss out on possible talents because of unidentified nor unlocked potentials.

My ambition is twofold:

to offer individuals a space dedicated to talent growth. Talentizzy coaches individuals on their raod from potential to talent. It starts with the evaluation of the different facets of their professional potential, so that they can build and strengthen their talent, gain recognition and take action in the course of their professional life.

to enable organisations, through tailor-made support, to identify and develop individual and collective potential and to retain the talents of today and tomorrow.

Talentizzy brings together seasoned professionals who build flexible solutions for assessing potential and developing talent as close as possible to the needs of their clients.

Coming from diverse backgrounds, we have in common a taste for the development of people, a long practice of coaching (from 10 to 30 years), a curiosity that has led us to train in numerous tools and methods of intervention and finally a deep respect for our clients that has led us to adopt a collaborative way of working with them.

To avoid judgement bias (indeed, "if your only tool is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail"), we draw on a very wide range of internationally recognised psychometric tools and use a variety of techniques and coaching approaches. And because we believe that potential is not fixed and that talent is built up, our philosophy is to focus on people's development possibilities.

Supervision & training: for coaching practitioners, volunteers in associative sector, medical staff

I combine over 20 years corporate experience in the finance and communication areas, and a long-lasting personal work in the field of therapy, including psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and gestalt-therapy.

I am convinced that there is a high degree of intrication and thus interaction between our personal and professional lifes. A a result, I do have a systemic and psycho-analytical approach of the situations, while keeping a pragmatic view of my clients’ issues and their need for action.

Thus, when it's relevant in light with the problem, I do explore with my clients the personal, psycho-emotional dimensions of their life, and more generally I encourage them to get to a deeper knowledge of their own psychic functioning.

Lisbon, Portugal

Over the last 10 years, I have been working as a coach for:

• middle to large corporations willing to enhance their executives’ professional skills or to overcome complex situations;
• a large number of private clients, who at some point decided to question their life, either because of the loss of their job, a mid-life crisis, a post burn-out period, or any kind of personal and or professional breakdown, or because they want to clarify their ambitions, accelerate their career path.

I have also been involved since 2011 in the French association Force Femmes, that helps unemployed women over 45 years to find a job or start their business. Since 2016, I lead a seminar for volunteers, to bring them methodological tools and share my experience as a coach.

As a trainer and consultant in the field of public speaking, I am used to train different kind of people in different situations, such as:

• executives facing challenging, high-stakes circumstances (i.e. strategic presentations to bankers, investors, shareholders, board meetings, etc);
• students preparing oral exams, recruitment interviews;
• or any person or group of persons facing a situation where he/she will expose oneself through public speaking.

The context may be a one-to-one meeting, a small to medium-size audience (10 to 50 people) or a speech on stage in front of a large audience (100 people or more), with or without interaction with the public.

As a psychologist, I have an ecclectic approach, thanks to the mastery of multiple approaches and techniques which are only means for me, the essential being to understand the person who is unique.

Convinced that times of crisis can be transformed into opportunities for fulfilment, I accompany people affected by suffering at work in order to foster their resilience in the face of trauma so that they can cultivate optimism, hope and find meaning in their professionallife.

Istanbul, Turkey

Paris, France

My professional experience, between Turkey and France, is marked by more than 30 years of teaching and research at university, combined with more than 20 years of work in companies and individuals.

After a PhD thesis on "alienation at work" at Istanbul University, I continued my post-doctoral studies at the Social Psychology Laboratory and the Research Group in Economic Psychology at Paris-Descartes University.

Beyond the research and teaching I was passionate about, I wanted to bring my know-how to people who suffer in the world of work. I therefore turned to therapy and coaching.

During my second master's degree in Clinical and Pathological Psychology at the University of Vincennes- Saint Denis, I worked on professional coaching at the IFAS (French Institute of Anxiety and Stress, Paris).

Trained in several approaches (transactional analysis, psychodrama, behavioural-cognitive therapy, narrative therapy, solution orientation, logotherapy and coaching), I lead trainings on personal development in many banks and companies in Turkey. In addition, I conduct individual and group sessions.

After having taught organisational psychology, consumer behaviour, personal development of managers and economic psychology at Galatasaray University (Istanbul, Turkey) in the department of management for a long time, I retired in 2017. I continue my research in France, at the Institute for Management Research (IRG) of the University of Paris-Est.

I am the author of several books in Turkish on coaching, transactional analysis, assertiveness, bullying and several articles in Turkish and English more specifically on organisational justice and workplace bullying.
