Inspire & provide direction
You want to work in an organization where people feel safe and where collaboration works.
This safety does not begin with agreements on norms and values.
It starts with you.
I am guiding leaders, teams and professionals in deepening their inner compass, so that they can build a warm, mature culture together. Since 2006, I have worked with over 2,400 leaders in 13 countries. In education, together we taught more than 60,000 children about the joys of inner growth.

What participants say
The book Towards the Compassionate School made a deep impression on me.
Your combination of academic foundation, indigenous wisdom, and direct practical applicability resonates strongly with what I stand for as a school leader.
The book is not a quick fix, but a solid compass for the long road.
Nadia Belabas, school principal
Hélène, your drive, enthusiasm, and warm heart for refugees have touched me.
The study visit to Lesvos, Greece has offered me new insights into what education can truly mean for these young people. It has made the invisible tangible.

I have been a leadership mentor, author, and director of The Compassionate School for over 25 years. My work is rooted in tranquility, ancient wisdom, and up-to-date tools for a humane work environment. It is my pleasure to guide organizations, schools, and individuals in inner development.
Because when you understand yourself better, you naturally contribute to a welcoming cultural environment.
