Your Coach: Laetitia Antonowicz
I am a Certified and Accredited Professional and Personal Development Coach. I hold a Coaching and Mentoring Certificate from the Institute for Leadership and Management (UK) and a Professional Coaching Certificate from the French School of Coaching EFC/MHD (RNCP). I was awarded the European Mentoring and Coaching Council Global Individual Accreditation at Practitioner level.
Coaching was the natural professional next step from my earlier work. After seven years in teaching I became a consultant in education and international development. I have worked for more than 20 years with the United Nations, development agencies and Non-Governmental Organisations to support the most marginalised children and youth to realise their rights to education, protection and participation.
All my professional roles have been about supporting individuals or teams on a journey of learning and change, a journey from intention to action and impact, a journey from ‘business as usual’ to meaning and purpose.
"Coaching helped me to reflect on what I really needed in terms of job and lifestyle. It helped my wellbeing during my job search as I managed to establish a consistent routine that included rest and other activities. I stopped focusing on the failures, instead, I tried to focus on progress and improvements, even if tiny. Compassion, being grounded and peace in general would be the keywords to explain the changes in my attitudes."
H. E., Humanitarian worker, International NGO.
"I was looking for a professional coach who could help me find clarity in my career goals and trajectory. Laetitia was very supportive, while also gently pushing me in ways that encouraged me to grow and learn. She has a variety of tools and exercises to offer for any kind of situation, and I appreciated her flexibility as my own needs changed through the process. I valued most Laetitia’s ability to reflect back to me and synthesize my perspective – she has a powerful ability to find themes, and help get to the heart of an issue."
Brendon, Independent Consultant, Health Policy and Story Telling
« For over a decade, I have sought the guidance of various career coaches to navigate through personal and professional challenges. When I reached out to Laetitia, I was feeling stuck and in need of support to move forward and regain clarity. What set Laetitia apart as a coach was not only her exceptional professionalism, but also her willingness to share a plethora of tools and techniques that I could utilize outside of our sessions to analyze and better understand my situations. Her approach empowered me with practical resources for continuous growth and development .»
S.P. United Nations Professional
« Laetitia was a great Coach, she understood my struggles right away and got me to work on finding practical and impactful solutions. She asked the hard but right questions and through a series of exercises and metaphors, she helped me find a more confident and proud way forward. If you are someone in the development and/or humanitarian sector and would like to receive guidance from a Coach that understands our lifestyle, our profession, and what it demands from us, do reach out to Laetitia immediately!.»
Martina L., M&E Lead, Humanitarian sector
« I have become a person capable of taking action, sharing my opinion openly, deciding what I wanted to do and listening to others. I can see the difference in my conversations with my colleagues. I am making decisions and I am able to provide and receive feedback. Thank you Laetitia for your frankness and for having triggered a big change in how I see things.»
Gisele G., Policy Programme Officer, Agence Onusienne
Laetitia understood from day one what I was looking for and was able to guide me through a challenging process by helping me finding my own answers and resources to organize my priorities and understand that I owned the path I was going to take. She has been a coach and a mentor and knew exactly when I needed each version of her help. She has made me understand the importance of taking actions and commit to myself by being truthfull and not sabotaging my own progress. She is just amazing, and I am glad I can reach out to her anytime I will need a wake up call or some grounding.
Macarena, transitioning from the private sector to International Development
“Coaching enabled me to take a step back and reflect on where I wanted to go next professionally. The most useful to me was being listened to without judgement, being challenged on my beliefs about jobs and career paths, and being provided with tools to help me think outside the box and connect with what was really important to me at this stage in my life. Thank you Laetitia.”
B, Project Manager, International Development NGO
“A relevant, trustful, co-active and effective relationship was quickly established through constructive conversations. The coaching sessions and the activities (and sometimes challenges) proposed in between sessions have helped me to become aware of who I was and have given me a much more positive image of myself. Coaching with Laetitia has enabled me to take control of my ‘being’. Thanks Laetitia!”
Rym, CSR Project Manager, private sector
“Laetitia is a very good listener and ensures the discussion is meaningful and fruitful. She stretched and challenged me but she also always knew the limits so the discussions and vibe were always positive and helpful.”
Soraya, Human Resources Manager, Norwegian Refugee Council
"Coaching sessions definitely helped me to move towards my goals. They inspired me to develop my leadership skills and to try new things at work, which yielded positive results and strengthened my relationships with my co-workers."
A.N., Teacher & Language School Acting Manager
"Coaching is a great tool for anyone and everyone thinking they are stuck in a stage of their life and need guidance to help them out."
Damir, Human Rights professional
This coaching with Laetitia (Planet & Climate) was a great opportunity to be asked questions that require answers and to reflect on what is holding me back.
Benoît, Freelancer wanting to make a difference
I was lucky to be coached by Laetitia at the beginning of the first lockdown. It did me a lot of good. Her calm and structured approach helped me lower my anxiety and visualise a positive way out that stayed with me through those 3 long months of isolation. I can only recommend her practice to anybody who feels overwhelmed by fears. She will help you get grounded, get on the right track and get going with clear ideas and on the right foot.
Christine – Teacher and Freelance Copywriter
“Laetitia will stretch your ideas on the big picture and on the details required to bring it to life. Your methods, skills, principles – all will be examined with the purpose that your life takes on a new dimension, which is bigger, better and more authentic than what it was before. All will be achieved in the atmosphere of trust and support. Thank you Laetitia for your thoughtfulness in the process and care!”
T. V., United Nations Professional
“Coaching is like an invisible friend, which is always by your side. It starts with a conversation and stays with you always.”
Tanya (working in international development)
