Ilse FRENCH
For 41 years of my life, I held the belief that “success” equates to happiness, ticking off accomplishments in every facet of my life. I had nothing left on my wish list but felt stuck with no clarity on what my values were or what I wanted from life.
Questioning my long-held beliefs about happiness and success was not easy. I realised that to make meaningful changes I would need to step outside of my comfort zone in all aspects of my life. I had to take risks and overcome limiting beliefs.
Today, I am my authentic self and I have created a meaningful and exciting life and career that I love.
I achieved what truly seemed impossible those days and will help you achieve the same.
Working with me is not just about theories and techniques, I draw on my personal life transformations, my professional experiences as an entrepreneur, my 15 years as a partner at PwC, my expertise as a certified coach, NLP Master practitioner, Wingwave coach and educator in leadership, disruptive innovation and market positioning. I bring a wealth of experience.
I understand, first-hand, what the corporate world can give you and what it can take away. I understand how daunting being an entrepreneur can be. I understand how hard it can be to enjoy true self-confidence, to embark on a journey of changing habits as I did by losing 110lbs of weight. Finding true purpose and life satisfaction has led me to the happiest place I’ve ever been in my life. As your coach you will benefit from all my life, professional and learning expertise.

How do you define success?
This simple question took me on an inward journey, forcing me to challenge my values, beliefs and the identity I had constructed. I was completely focused on prioritising work, rather than truly seeing the importance of leading a balanced life.
How was I measuring my life?
My answer to this was not a comfortable truth for me.
I needed to create a life measured in terms of happiness, purpose, fulfilment and the value I create for myself and others. At the time I wasn’t even sure this was possible; I had spent so long seeing life as work and missing out on the enjoyment of family time, exercise and hobbies. The road ahead stretched and challenged me and ultimately allowed me to achieve my impossible. I’m excited to help you achieve yours.
I draw on many years of experience and expertise in coaching, NLP, CBT, Wingwave coaching, personality profiling, psychology, hypnotherapy, leadership and entrepreneurship to help others achieve full life satisfaction. My experience as a childhood trauma therapist also gives me invaluable grounding for parents and carers seeking support with finding their purpose and achieving a work/life balance. I have more than 10 years’ experience working with families to help them obtain and maintain balance and understanding in their own lives, so they can be more fulfilled individuals and happier units.
