Sylviane is one of the pioneers of coaching in Belgium – with more than 6,000 hours of coaching. She started by adopting a “coach attitude” while training executives (1994) and students at the university (University of Wales/ teaching Corporate Strategy). She, then, progressively implemented the coaching competencies with corporate teams and getting experience with teams in large and smaller organizations. In 2001, she pursued the basic and the professional coaching programs at Mozaik, Paris and Lille and, later with Alain Cardon. She also went through a pallet of programs on various tools, totaling more than 20 days of training per year: in NLP (she is Master-Practitioner), in Transactional Analysis (she followed classes until level 6), in Coaching across Cultures, MBTI, PCM, Team Coaching, Neuro-Leadership & Sciences, Belbin, and many others.

Her strong point is that she combines her management skills (at IBM, Procter & Gamble and smaller corporations), her knowledge of the corporate strategy, marketing, communication (that she was teaching at the university and broadly applying for public institutions, large multinationals and smaller businesses) and her skills in psychology and in interpersonal communications.

She started to coach executives on an individual basis in 2002 and continued coaching teams. Today, she works with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and other member of Executive Committees, mainly in larger corporations such as Engie, Levi’s, Schlumberger, Zoetis/Pfizer Animal Health, Danone, Chartis Europe, Solvay, RTL Television, Dupuis, National Bank of Belgium, Sony, Korn Ferry International, etc. Also for international institutions such as World Health Organization, World Food Program, European Commission, European Economic and Social Committee.
Sylviane is a Master Certified Coach by the ICF, the highest international recognized certification level for Coaching and a Senior Practitioner by the EMCC (Practitioner since 2011).

In 2010, she was Vice-President of the International Coach Federation (30 000 members in 140 countries) and part of the Global Board between 2008 and 2010. As former President of the Belgian chapter of the ICF, she is the organizer of the European Coaching Conference of 2006. Between 2014 and 2016, she has been one of the five members of the Regional Advisory Council of the ICF for the EMEA Region.

She is an international keynote speaker with experience in front of large audiences in: Belgium, Peru, Turkey, Abu Dhabi, USA, Morocco, South Africa and Russia.
