Die Zusammemarbeit mit Alexandra war immer sehr Zielorientiert und hat immer viel Spass gemacht

Anne-Sophie Gloannec

Formée avec Alexandra, j'ai eu l'occasion de travailler avec elle à plusieurs reprises. Son coaching est dynamique, à la fois rigoureux et profondément créatif. C'est une personne authentique et bienveillante qui sait mettre en confiance, et son énergie communicante donne envie de passer à l'action !
