WHEN MORE EFFORT ISN'T THE ANSWER
You’re used to making things happen. People rely on you, and you take that responsibility seriously.
But when everything needs your attention, it’s hard to step back. You spend more time responding than thinking ahead. And even after work, you’re still turning things over in your mind.
As your responsibilities grow, the approach that brought you this far may no longer be enough. You want to lead with greater clarity and impact — without losing your energy, enthusiasm, or sense of what matters.
You know how to work hard. The question is how to lead differently.
WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS URGENT
There's always something to deal with — and too little space to think about what matters most.
WHEN YOUR USUAL APPROACH ISN'T ENOUGH
You’re facing greater complexity, yet under pressure, it’s easy to fall back on the same habits.
WHEN SUCCESS TAKES TOO MUCH OUT OF YOU
You’re still delivering, but it's harder to switch off, recharge, and enjoy what you do.

LESS REACTING. MORE CHOICE. GREATER IMPACT.
Have the space to think before you respond. Get clear on what matters, see different ways forward, and make decisions you can stand behind — even when you don’t have all the answers.
Lead difficult conversations with greater composure. Give others room to contribute and take ownership. Make a difference without feeling you have to carry everything yourself.
Through our work, you gain perspective, challenge the habits that hold you back, and practise different ways of leading in the situations that matter to you.
TRANSFORM HOW YOU LEAD UNDER PRESSURE
The Self-Led P.O.W.E.R. Code™ brings together five Leadership Shifts to help you put these changes into practice, especially when the pressure rises.
FIVE SHIFTS. ONE JOURNEY.
From the way you respond in the moment to the impact you have on others, each shift focuses on a different part of how you lead.
PREPARE
From Autopilot to Awareness
Notice what happens when pressure rises, so you can pause and choose how to respond.
ORGANISE
From Busyness to Purpose
Get clear on what matters, so your priorities guide your decisions rather than everyone else's demands.
WIDEN
From Limitations to Unseen Possibilities
Question the assumptions keeping you stuck and discover options you hadn't considered.
ENERGISE
From Survival to Sustainable Energy
Recognise what drains and restores you, and build habits that support your energy and a healthier balance between work and life.
RISE
From Leading Yourself to Collective Impact
Help others grow in confidence and take ownership, so your impact extends beyond what you deliver yourself.

ABOUT ANTOINE
For more than 30 years, I worked in international business across Paris, New York, London, and Dublin, including nine years as a CFO and Board Member within AXA. I led teams through major transformations, restructuring, and complex decisions — and experienced the responsibility and pressure that come with leadership.
A two-year sabbatical opened up new perspectives on what mattered to me. Years later, burnout made me question how I was working and what success was costing me. Both experiences shaped the coach and mentor I am today.
I bring an understanding of business realities and a curiosity about the person behind the role. My approach combines space to reflect, questions that challenge familiar thinking, and practical ways to turn insight into action.
Together, we explore what matters to you, what gets in your way, and how you want to lead. We work with the situations you face, helping you make clearer choices, build confidence, and sustain your energy alongside your ambitions.
I’m a qualified Executive Coach and Mentor, and creator of the Self-Led P.O.W.E.R. Code™. I work with senior leaders and entrepreneurs in English and French.
HOW I CAN HELP
EXECUTIVE COACHING
Lead with clarity when the stakes are high.
A confidential thinking space to work through difficult decisions, strengthen your confidence, and develop how you lead — in a new role, through change, or when your usual approach no longer serves you.
BUSINESS MENTORING
Move your business forward with a clearer sense of direction.
A thinking partner who brings business experience, constructive challenge, and practical support. Get clear on your priorities, test your options, and turn decisions into action.
SPEAKING | WORKSHOPS
Communicate with confidence. Lead with greater impact.
Engaging talks and practical workshops on communication, presentation skills, and self-leadership. Help your people understand different communication styles, get their message across, and explore new ways of leading — with ideas and tools they can use in their everyday work.
WHY DOESN'T YOUR MESSAGE ALWAYS GET THROUGH?
Being clear doesn’t always mean being understood. Different people respond to different ways of communicating.
In this short extract from my award-winning talk, discover four communication styles through everyday examples — and how adapting your approach can help your message land.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
"Antoine is an insightful and highly effective coach who asks the right questions to help you think differently and find your own solutions. I always left our sessions with greater clarity, confidence and a practical way forward, and I would happily recommend him to others considering coaching."
V (Bundna) Jaswal
Programme Manager, LGIM
"Working with my coach helped me find my spark and passion for my role once again. The time and advice given to me was invaluable, and I’m a better person and leader for it. I chose to work with him as I knew he offered something different and a way of working different to my own. He broke me out of the norm and showed me new ways of thinking and a different approach to how I take on my role. Every session we had had a positive result.”
Alex Roberts
Principal Customer Engagement Manager at NHS Property Services Ltd
“Working with Antoine has already sparked a real transformation in me — and we’re only just getting started. His practical guidance helped me connect deeply with my values and life purpose, and for the first time, I feel like I’m not just thinking about change — I’m living it. It’s an amazing feeling, and I’m excited for what’s to come.”
