Deux histoires d'une même entreprise : 𝟭. J'ai démarré seule en 2016, et dès 2019, j'ai eu l'opportunité d'élargir mon équipe en collaborant avec un premier formateur. Grâce à notre présence sur le CPF et à la montée des formations en ligne pendant la pandémie, l'entreprise a connu une belle croissance. Depuis 2016, nous avons accompagné plus de 700 professionnels, dont près de 100 rien que l'année dernière, pour les aider à gagner en aisance en anglais professionnel. 𝟮. En 2016, après une énième discussion condescendante avec mon responsable, j'ai pris une décision qui allait changer ma vie : lancer ma propre entreprise. J'étais déterminée à aider les professionnels français à surmonter leurs blocages en anglais, car je voyais chaque jour à quel point ils en souffraient dans leurs carrières. Ce chemin n'a pas toujours été facile, mais aujourd'hui, nous sommes une équipe de 12 formateurs passionnés. Mon rêve reste le même : voir chaque professionnel en France s'épanouir en anglais, prendre la parole en toute confiance et réussir dans un monde international.

Last week I had one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was flying back from Amsterdam to Nice after the Toastmasters international conference. Everything was as usual, until the pilot announced, “We’re going back to Amsterdam.” Everyone in the plane groaned. But then he added, “There’s an electrical fault which has affected the brakes and we don’t know if the back up braking system has been affected or not. We need to go back to Amsterdam to land on the longest runway possible. The crew will now prepare you for an emergency landing in 30 minutes.” The worst thing was that I could hear in the pilot’s voice that he was stressed. I looked at the crew’s faces and although they were calm, their faces showed that they were scared. The next 30 minutes were spent practising the brace position, removing all jewellery, glasses, tightening our seatbelts, learning how to open the emergency doors. We were told to study the safety card, which everyone did more intently than ever before! And like most of the other people on the plane, I was quietly worrying that we’d crash at the end of the runway and perhaps this was how I was going to die. We landed in brace position, with the crew shouting “brace for landing”. Luckily the emergency brakes worked 😅 If you’re expecting me to tell you that I have now changed my life for the better and I’m giving everything up to become a life coach… …I’m not 😆 I did say to myself, “Only trains from now on”, but I still had to get home and that involved two flights the next day. What I did realise was sometimes you have to give up control and put yourself in the hands of people who are trained for this. Also that after we landed, all the passengers were talking to each other, everyone was friendly and helpful. And when I saw some of my fellow passengers the next day, it’s like we were friends, bonded by this experience. And that made me think, why can’t we always create these human connections, even when we’re not in such an emotionally charged situation? So that is my resolution from this experience: make more human connections with everyone around me. (Photo taken from my flight home the next day: I’ve never been so happy to see the Îles Lerins 😁)
