Delphine Renaud · The human edge in an AI world
Technology scales. Humans lead. The gap is where I work.
From one to one, to your whole team, to the boardroom and the stage. All the ways we can work together.
I have sat in the chair you are sitting in.
I spent 20+ years in corporate leadership, most recently as a VP of Product Management running global teams through scale ups, exits and acquisitions. I have also been a solo mum of two boys for over ten years. I burned out. I then trained as a trauma informed somatic coach, and I now do the work I needed back then.
That combination is the point. I understand the board meeting, the reorganisation and the number you have to hit. I understand ambition and success. I understand the emotional load we carry as leaders juggling home, work and life around the clock. And I understand what it is doing to your nervous system, because I have lived it myself. In my coaching practice I bring everything I learnt on both my leadership and my healing journey, to help my clients, individuals and organisations alike, perform and thrive in their professional and personal lives.
Individual executive coaching
Private coaching for leaders who are carrying more than their job titles.
What it is
1:1 coaching for leaders, founders and entrepreneurs who feel and carry a lot, and who aspire to thrive in their professional and personal lives.
My style of coaching is all about learning to lead ourselves from within, to:
- Shift from anxious and overwhelmed to confident, grounded and empowered in high pressure environments
- Transform from overperforming and people pleasing to setting and holding clear boundaries
- Regulate emotional overwhelm
- Reconnect with joy, intimacy, creativity and rest
- Build sustainable success without sacrificing your health or your family in the process
- Rebuild your life after a “Life Quake”.. the end of a relationship, a redundancy, a loss
How it works
- A minimum three month commitment
- Fortnightly 60 minute sessions
- WhatsApp support between sessions, so we deal with situations in the moment
First session within two weeks of our call.
Couple, business partner and co-founder coaching
Couples and romantic partners. Business partners and co-founders.
What it is
All of my work is relational. When we relate better to ourselves, we relate better to everyone around us. So alongside individual work I coach pairs: couples, business partners and co-founders who want to have the conversations that have been avoided for years, navigate conflict, repair what has frayed and build a stronger relationship.
How it works
- Minimum three month commitment
- Fortnightly 60 minute sessions, held online on Zoom
- We begin with an individual session each, before we sit down together
