A moment to reflect on my 2025 before stepping into 2026
| Dear Leaders, |
| In 2026, be enchanted by your achievements and celebrate every step. Whichever path you choose, may you find good health and joy along the way. |
| January is made for those kinds of moments. A breath. A look back before moving forward. |
| And that’s the spirit in which I’d like to open this year with you. |
| The Laughing Willow wishes you a wonderful 2026! |

2025 was an intense and deeply meaningful year. A year shaped by diversity of missions, industries and even countries!
And a year that has clearly laid the foundations for what The Laughing Willow will continue to grow in 2026.
Here are a few highlights I’m particularly proud of:
Opleiding over 180 managers in the Services, High Luxury Jewellery and Watchmaking industries, across the USA, France and the Netherlands
Facilitating over a dozen Leadership Team coachings in Services, Hospitality, Cosmetics, Education and FMCG
– Supporting over 10 individual leaders through one-to-one coaching in industrial, supply chain & operations, HR, communication and senior leadership roles
– Development and implementation of a New Investment Fund Offer: Leadership Team Potential Evaluation
– Throughout the year, facilitating 10 series of co-development sessions and peer group coaching, helping leaders navigate their day-to-day challenges together.
I’m also very proud of my own learning path. In 2025, I obtained my ACC ICF accreditation. Ongoing review and continuous learning are embedded in my practice to ensure high-quality coaching for my clients.
On a more personal note, I kept walking. I practised yoga regularly. And yes, I even stepped on stage for my musical comedy performance! These routines are part of my balance and joy.
2025 was also a year of connections, trust and partnerships: building and implementing offers together and inspiring leaders at all levels of organisations.
Thank you to my colleagues: Léa, Danaé, Isabelle, Morgan, Lionel, Marin, Contact Consulting.
And to all those who contributed, supported, challenged, and trusted along the way.
Thank you to everyone I haven’t named, but who shared a piece of 2025 with me.
A special thought for those who transform organisations from the inside and who choose to trust human-sized structures like the Laughing Willow to support them.
2025 was a year of meaningful impact. In 2026, my commitment remains the same: helping leaders grow stronger, more conscious, and more effective in complex environments.
