Let’s hear it from our clients!
“In addition to helping me create a system of accountability for my team, Ed has facilitated my development as a leader. We worked on a wide variety of skills, including better decision-making, improved body language, as well as emotional intelligence. We worked together to develop my brand as a leader that leverages my strengths and style. All of these are critically important to a CEO.”
Ben Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer, Imagineair, Georgia USA
“Ed and I had an enthusiastic co-operation, facilitating workshops for a world leader in retail. The outcomes were very much appreciated by the client and the participants, for their practical application as well as the real ambition they proposed towards a greater service spirit.”
Claire Bonniol, Managing Director of Academie du Service UK
“Working with Edmond with my team over the last couple of years was instrumental in demonstrating that cooperation is the key success factor for today and tomorrow.”
Jérôme Garnier, Medical Director, Celgène Biotech, France
“It was an extraordinary experience whose relevance increases over time. Nothing can replace the power of a genuine mind/body connection in my quest to develop new skills in life and as a leader. Intuitive ideas like “one step at a time” have new relevance and authenticity; counter-intuitive ideas like “the best strategy on the way down is to lean forward with no resistance” burst forth as obvious and make you wonder why you never realized this before.”
Craig Frischling-Chairman, Lipo Group (In reference to Legacy Odyssey Coaching Trek)
“The Nepal trek was a real fascinating experience. I always treasured the possibility of doing spiritual work in nature, but this opportunity took that idea to a completely different level. I’ll be enjoying the benefits of the work and insights for years to come.”
Marcelo Bronstein (In reference to Legacy Odyssey Coaching Trek)
“Team Global Network has helped me achieve my business goals. We have identified together what were the most acute challenges I was faced with. The beauty of the coaching is that it’s not an exact science so some challenges were very factual while others were more related to the “human matter”. I believe this is where TGN strive in understanding both kinds of challenges and devising a plan to overcome them. It has proved stellar in my case, and the results were staggering, within 12 months TGN helped me to achieve my ambitious revenue with a growth of 130%.”
Hervé Brunet- Vice-President, Sales & Operations, Asia Pacific Redback Networks International Inc
“Team Global Network has provided me with the coaching and structure which has enabled me to launch a new business at an accelerated pace. Without Team Global Network, I would still be dreaming of opening this new business but rather my dream is becoming a reality.”
Melissa Richardson—Owner, Social Hollywood & Beckley
“I was amazed by the results (plus 20% revenue growth) we obtained through the breakthrough process, which we implemented in difficult economic times.”
Pascal Billard—Regional Director, Alain Ducasse Joint Venture, London

“I worked during 8 months with TGN when I became HR Director of LVMH Watch & Jewellery, Asia Pacific, after several years in a support function in the holding company. It was a big transition, and Valerie supported me effectively with her direct and demanding coaching style. My objective was to succeed rapidly in implementing the new HR department, establishing its priorities and roadmap, defining the relationships with my key stakeholders. Valerie helped me reach my goals and I took charge of my new position in less than six months. In addition to achieving business results, I learned a lot about myself during this time, and I grew as a leader with the coaching.”
HR Director of LVMH Watch & Jewellery, Asia Pacific
“It has indeed been a great experience to work with Valerie during these last 6 months. I was able to create “oasis periods” within my schedule to focus on key issues, explore, dig into them without limitations. It was an immediate help, and certainly will be a long term benefit for the company and myself. I have today a much clearer view of what my role should be, and how to handle it: both on the personal and professional sides, I am very thankful to Valerie for what I value to be a significant step ahead in my career building.”
Eric Douilhet, President, Bluebell Group
“It had been a great experience to be coached by Christine Chui in our 6-month executive coaching program. She supported me to become and be seen as a solid, effective, empowering and confident leader. Not only have I developed and showed up with an inner strength and solidity, I have also learnt how to create a bonding with my team and it enabled me to lead them through a very tough economic environment and a series of changes. These results are so obvious that my senior management comments our coaching program as a huge success.”
Lily Chang-General Manager, LVMH Watch & Jewellery Taiwan Branch

Stephane Bellon-Director of Development, Alain Ducasse Group
“I needed moments to strategize and I needed my assumptions to be confronted. This very practical – matter of fact – to the point coaching process helped me constantly develop my talents as a leader. The measured results included a + 24 % on the revenue generated in 2005, over 2004, PLUS 300% in bottom line results.”
Jean Jacques Gressier—Managing Director, Academie Accor Services, Paris
