TOGETHER, LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I’m fortunate to be surrounded by amazing women. They are the reason I do what I do. Here’s what they have to say about the work we’ve done together:
“ I started a coaching process at a major turning point in my career. I was curious about an approach like the one Martine had to offer, but at the same time I was very skeptical. However, I was ready to commit to the exercise and take it seriously. Three months later, I can confirm that I have been transformed. I’ve grown, understood and experienced. All thanks to Martine’s kind and compassionate guidance. If you’re at a defining moment in your life and career, I highly recommend her coaching. 2023 will be exactly as I hoped.”

“When I started the coaching program with Martine, I asked her to help me figure out the right professional role for me. I’ve always had a deep desire to develop new skills and the feeling that the label of “lawyer” wasn’t enough for me. Twelve weeks later, Martine gave me the most beautiful gift: she helped me realize that it’s not a question of a title or a role being made for us but rather of being aligned with our mission… and it’s this mission that I have discovered, and that I embody and love today. Thank you, Martine, for accepting this challenge and especially for doing it with so much empathy, attentiveness, trust and openness.”

“Martine’s approach provides a good balance between concrete actions and effective inner peace exercises. This allowed me to reconnect with myself and refocus. It also helped me reassert my needs and aspirations. I can now adjust my trajectory in a clear and assertive way. Martine guided me towards a mindset that commands the best and gives me a lot of confidence. I’ve learned to identify the strengths that I want to leverage more to make sure that I grow in a stimulating way, aligned with my needs. I’m proud to have succeeded in establishing an action plan that I’m really comfortable with and confident in. I gave myself the gift of quality time with myself, guided by an attentive, responsive and very compassionate woman.”

“Martine helped me to grieve and find closure after the end of a long-term relationship, so that I could focus my energy and thoughts on my personal growth. Her global, gentle, enlightened, and reassuring approach produces results from the very first session and goes way beyond the coaching process . . . it’s part of a lifestyle to be adopted.”

“Lately, I’d been feeling confused about my role as a manager and my motivation had been waning. Being a passionate person by nature, I felt a need to identify and understand the cause of this lack of motivation, realign myself with my mission and givea fresh boost to my career. That’s when I met Martine Rochon and began a coaching process with her. Each session was a journey to the depths of myself, allowing my mission to emerge. It grounded me in a state of being and a mindset that has helped me assert and merge together the woman and manager I now want to be. I highly recommend Martine’s services to anyone who wants to find and redefine themselves. It’s a beautiful and priceless gift to give yourself!”

Her highly personalized coaching approach led me to understand my needs and set myself achievable goals. Doing this helped me to restore the balance I so craved as a woman and as a mother, while remaining focused on changing my career.”

“Martine is instinctive and asks the right questions—the ones you don’t always expect! In the course of our meetings, she guided me towards myself, towards my desires, through my fears and my doubts. She helped me implement my plan of action and I felt supported and cared for. I’ve achieved concrete results that have impacted both my professional and personal life. I’m grateful to have crossed her path.”

“I reached out to Martine at a time when I felt that my natural value, creativity and leadership were getting mired and buried by everyday worklife, like in a closed box. Step by step, I started to open the box, to once again understand the impact I can have on a team, and to choose concrete actions to implement them. Although she never made me conscious of it, I think that Martine was being very patient with me when answering my constant questions, the most frequent of which was undoubtedly “yes, but how?” And for each question, she responded with a simple but powerful tool. What I found in my coaching with Martine was a balance between the overall mission of my career and the acquisition of new thought processes for putting it into action. Now the box is open. And I always have a supportive ally I can call on to brighten up darker days.”

“For a long time, I endured my anxiety, thinking it was just an intrinsic part of who I was and that all I could do was simply learn to live with it. After years of chaos, my life had become unbearable. I finally decided to face my demons head-on and win the battle. Martine helped me slow down and sort out the chaos in my head. She had me become aware of my existence and clearly identify my strengths. She showed me how to get my bearings and rebuild my sense of purpose. I loved her gentle, non-intrusive approach. Instead of dwelling on my missteps or regrets, we focused on my acquired strengths, true values and the unfulfilled dreams that were just waiting to come back to life. Together, we built a future version of me. Martine held my hand every step of the way. I can say today without a shadow of a doubt that I’ve won my battle. The future is full of unknowns, but now I’m equipped to handle whatever comes my way.”
