Marianne, what ignited your passion to become a Career Coach?
I used to work more than 10 years in finance with lots of interesting jobs and friendly colleagues.
Still, after a while, learning became marginal, inner politics drained my energy and my enthusiasm vanished.
I was missing... sparkle. I was missing... passion. I was missing... my greater purpose.
Meaningful to keep spending time and efforts as such? For many more years?
Obvious answers.
Yet, let's face it. We all know that it is not meaningful to go on with a job that only partially suits us, and we stay...
Our fears and doubts are so strong, we sometimes prefer to play small…
Until it ends as a shocking waste of amazing talents, slowly losing confidence and drowning into less than satisfying lives.
For me, changing career and embracing my true calling was nothing like a comfortable journey. I tried many things, from publishing dozens of folktales, organizing hundreds of birthday parties, creating educational games on literacy, performing every week as a storyteller, before even thinking about coaching as my true career.
And it took me a major life change, moving from Europe to Asia, to dare working fully as a passionate Coach!
Now, I’m glad I did!
Because… I love my work! I truly do.
All my coaching clients have been amazing people, absolutely amazing people…
They have reached results they did not even dare dreaming and we have built very strong, lasting relationships.
They all arrived worried, sometimes completely lost and clueless on what to change, where to go, how to lighten the heavy burden.
Working with them, seeing them leaving enthusiastic, empowered, confident to move forward and much beyond their expectations… is so rewarding!
In the course of my coaching career, I have found most fulfillment helping clients find their true purpose and what legacy they want to leave behind. This ignited my passion to become a career coach. Nothing gives me more joy then to see my clients discover their Inner Brilliance, dispel their self limiting beliefs and have the courage to pursue their dream. Very often this takes self acceptance, self discovery, heightened awareness and the bravery to live life in their own terms.
I am passionate to partner with my clients to co-create their journey to pursue their career in ways that they didn't imagine was possible.
It had been such a great privilege for me to contribute in transforming each of these lives.
Do your clients have to go through a painful journey, as you did?
No! I wished I had the courage and humility long ago to ask for more help and ease my way with a coach.
It took me an awful long time and I made so many mistakes that I could write several books.
Yes, I did learn a lot on the way but the hard way!
In contrast, when my clients come for career coaching, magic happens…
At the second or third session, they realize through coaching that they already have been carrying a much greater purpose for long. Once I help them clarify it, they feel empowered to give sense to their work and take means to find a raving job, leading to more meaningful jobs later on.
The main differences between me - struggling to bloom - and my clients looking for their Sublime Career:

The main differences between me - struggling to bloom - and my clients looking for their Sublime Career:
- TIME - Instead of all the years that took me, my coaching clients find their Sublime Careers in months!
- EFFECTIVENESS - Instead of all the trial & errors I went through, my coaching clients get help discovering their focus easily and then take actions, leading to obvious results!
- CONFIDENCE - Instead of all the stress I experienced, my coaching clients receive appreciation, support and inspiration. They get the motivation and feel enthusiastic to move forward, building their own Sublime Career!
Who are your coaching clients?
Executive with several years of working experience. Most of them have lived in different countries, which helps them to feel comfortable taking limited risks and questioning their habits to accept different ways of doing.
All of them have strong values they do not want to compromise and a strong desire to find THE job that really suits them best.
They have a delightful sense of humor, talk straight and appreciate nuances.
On a recent project, we coached and helped more than 300 graduates transition from academics to the workplace. The feedback from the participants had been phenomenal, very fulfilling and meaningful. This career coaching project had been instrumental in producing clients who were more confident, resourceful, responsible and with new found drive to take on any challenges.

What make you different from other Coaches?
Do you work with everyone?
We think that everyone has a true calling, though not everyone is ready to embrace it yet.
Nor is everyone meant to find it through Sublime Careers. Which is fine!
Coaching requires adjustments.
Hence we do not work with people who knows everything on everything.
Our clients are coming to get challenged, as it is the most efficient way to move to the next step.
Coaching requires commitment.
Hence we do not work with people complaining and not willing to move.
Our clients are ready to take actions, dedicated to commit until they get results.
Coaching requires investment.
Hence we do not work with people wanting everything free in two hours.
If you are struggling to survive, trying to find your true calling and fighting for money at the same time will cause enormous stress for no results.
Our clients are investing in themselves, both financially and timely. We make it as affordable as possible and as quick as can be.
Still, if you pull a plant: you do not grow it faster; you just destroy it.
True reflection unfolds with maturity, peace and time.

What does Sublime Careers offer?
3 packages depending on where you are in your journey:
- Express, if you are nearly at destination
you just want to make sure the interviews go extremely well and prefer it with a professional who will spot exactly what to adjust to wow the interviewer - Relay, if you are somewhere on the way, not knowing exactly where
you started searching already, with no major impact and you are at the edge of losing faith
you want to find support, know where you are heading for and get help to open new doors - Exploration, if you intend to start your journey
you know what you do not want, have a blur idea of what you wish and you are not really sure on how to get there
you mostly want to get clarity, find that true calling and define the action steps to build this Sublime Career awaiting you
Marianne, is it really working?
Yes! Let’s be absolutely transparent: All our senior leaders clients have found jobs. The quickest landed his in 6 weeks, the longest time needed was 18 months. The typical duration is about 9 to 12 months.
And when our clients are working in the job they love, to serve the purpose that makes sense to them, earning the money that suits them, there is just no word to transcribe the joy and gratitude they feel.
Being enthusiastic to go to work, being proud of your achievements, knowing what a difference you make, translates into a sense of accomplishment, an enormous courage to face any obstacle and such an inner peace to enjoy the beauty of life.
That achievement is so obvious that your beloved ones notice it and that you attract the right people around you, you get more interesting opportunities and you keep performing at your highest level of expertise.
