With more than 80% of my clients being women professionals, I have developed a strong expertise in all issues related to women's empowerment in work and life.

Why working with Success Lab?

By working with me, you will benefit from my combined experience as a headhunter, internal HR professional and coach, as well as my passion for discovering and developing talent.

For me, people are not a resource, they are at the heart of everything.

Since 2009, I have been working in the banking and asset management industry, in portfolio management, headhunting and talent acquisition. I have lived in France, Luxembourg and Switzerland, and I have worked in-house for organizations such as Societe Generale, UBS, Vontobel, and as a headhunter for international asset management firms.

With more than a decade of experience interviewing thousands of international candidates and advising hundreds of executives from diverse backgrounds and locations on hiring the talent they need, I can provide you with concrete and actionable guidance.

Business Coaching & Advisory, is a transformational experience, but to achieve an impactful result, it is key to draw on an experienced and seasoned professional, expert in the field you wish to tackle. My business background is a critical asset as nothing can replace real life experience of workplace dynamics to truly understand the realities of life within the corporate world.

My sole objective is to help you better articulate and execute your vision as a candidate or as a leader. Throughout this journey, I will be your sparring partner and cheerleader whose only agenda is to help you achieve your goals.

Working together is all about you, your goals, your vision for your career and your team, and how you find your own solutions to get there with integrity and authenticity.

I had the pleasure of working with Céline during a pivotal period in my professional life. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me discover my purpose and anchor myself in my core values. With her support, I was able to develop a robust strategy that navigated my transition seamlessly.

Céline's exceptional listening skills, availability, and personalized approach truly set her apart. She tailored her coaching to meet my specific needs, ensuring that I felt supported and understood every step of the way. I highly recommend Céline to anyone seeking a transformative coaching experience.

Céline's support has made a significant impact on both my personal and professional growth.

Rui, Luxury, Zürich

Celine is an exceptional listener, making every conversation flow naturally with her empathy and genuine care. Her ability to ask insightful questions encourages you to think from new perspectives, making our dialogues both enjoyable and enlightening. Moreover, she combines this empathy with a practical approach that makes her coaching sessions truly effective. I enjoyed our sessions very much.

Lina Z., Banking, Zürich

Céline is a pleasure to work with, her positive personality and service delivered with a big smile makes you feel confortable when faced with challenging interview questions. Céline is a true professional who always asks the right questions and gives you best possible answers that you can use during your upcoming interview. She has helped me when I doubted my capabilities, encouraged to apply for the roles I thought were too big for me, and helped me gain confidence and assurance about my professional skills. I highly recommend Céline’s coaching services, she is great!

I worked with Celine on recruitment consulting and salary negotiation for my team.
At the time, I was really feeling the pressure of cost reduction on the one hand and the salary expectations of new hires on the other, and I did not know how to manage it.
Céline's experience in recruiting was really helpful to put things into perspective and focus on my priorities. Now I feel more confident to advocate for my team. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

I came to Céline when I felt really stuck and at the end of a cycle after 20 great years with the same company. We included some interview training in my personalized career coaching program and I realized how difficult it was for me to articulate my seniority, my impact and even my salary expectations, even though I had been a senior leader for many years. It was a little unsettling and hard to swallow. But after several sessions of practice, it is finally becoming easier to talk about myself and advocate for my value. Now I am ready to apply for senior roles that match my experience and to advocate for myself.

“I had the pleasure to be coached by Celine. I was very frustrated after more than a year trying unsuccessfully to find a job, then somebody recommended her to me and I checked her profile and immediately contacted her. I was drawn to her profile because she also works with career coaching, women empowerment and helping with everything related to job applications and interviews. I started with career coaching and she helped me direct my efforts to the proper career but also helping me figure out what I want for my life and what are my no go’s (even tho at that point I was up to do anything because I was desperate). She is the sweetest and very understanding m but at the same time very knowledgeable and guiding. After the coaching I asked her for homework and she crafted it meticulously for me. I must say I worked very hard in that material and the time I used everything she taught me I got an interview! I was hesitant at the beginning but she saw further than me and guided me. After the first interview I was so thankful because I loved the position! It was basically something I always dreamt for but I never thought I’d find.

After a while, things got more serious with this company and I booked her again for interview training. And guess what? I got the job!

I have been in this company for over a month and I am as happy as I could be. Is more than I ever dreamt for and I am deeply and forever thankful to Celine ❤️

The one time I did what she taught me, I got my dream job. Best invested money ever

Thank you céline ❤️ 100000/10 recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
