Founded in 2008 in Paris and a benchmark leader in the highly selective executive consulting and coaching market, AUDERE®’s executive arm, AUDERE Executives, is one of the most recognized firms in business consulting, mentoring and executive coaching.
Sa fondatrice, Sylvie Audibert, accompany the PDGs, DGs and members of the steering committees of CAC 40 and of the great international groups, the directors of the ETI, PMI/PME, the CEOs of startups all the same as those of hauts fonctionnaires and des sportsifs de très high level. A profession of vocation exercised with the pragmatism of a woman of results and the delicacy necessary to understand the depths of humanity. Exceptional meeting.
Excellence at the service of excellence
Gifted, Sylvie Audibert already had fun, from the height of her 10 years, analyzing the speeches of political figures to capture or not their sincerity and their oral leadership. “The business of consulting, mentoring and executive coaching is a vocation for me, born even when coaching did not yet exist in France. Therefore, at the age of 16 I knew what I wanted to do and I thought about creating a new profession, that is, supporting people with high responsibilities in their congruences, reflections and decision-making. A lover of complexity, I immediately became interested in the challenges of managers, whose day to day is managing complexity and making the most appropriate decisions for themselves, their employees and their companies; I have observed, analyzed and read any subject related to measuring the global impact of accompaniment on managers, leaders and the organizations for which they are responsible for leading them to success”.
The resume is impressive. Executive Coach HEC An expert in executives at the highest level, coming from the best international training (Major de Promotion from the renowned London School of Economics, HEC, EDHEC), Sylvie Audibert is also a sociologist of organizations and human behavior, specialist in cultures organizational, but also an expert in cardiac coherence, sophrologist and certified relaxologist. She also practices for herself and for clients who request it, meditation and mindfulness (consciousness).
A professor at Cambridge, a lecturer at the ENA for senior French officials and diplomats of all nationalities, the talented young woman followed her star.
After a first high-level professional life with Cabinet Arthur Andersen (mergers/acquisitions and financial audit of CAC 40 companies) and then with Accenture, where she created a business unit and advised on the strategy of large international groups and digital startups, Sylvie Audibert founded Cabinet AUDERE in 2008, dedicated to personalized support for leaders, consulting, training and, of course, mentoring and coaching of leaders, as well as their executive committees and organizations.
The accompaniment is carried out in English or French, in person at your Parisian or San German office, in a company or remotely.
Support is perfectly tailored to meet the exact needs of each request, just like its terms. “I feel completely comfortable with remote coaching because being very intuitive and responsive, the voice of the leader gives me all the necessary emotional and psychological information. ”
Talking to Sylvie Audibert is actually perceiving an innate gift, an extraordinary intuition.
“Thanks to an intuitive and global vision of people and their problems, I see the puzzle as a whole when the trained leader remains blocked by the limited perception of some pieces. I guide you to take the required height, put the pieces back together and look at the whole picture. Then the solution is easily revealed, be it a conflict, an internal block, a personal or professional decision.
And the coach adds: “The managers I accompany appreciate that, in the very Cartesian and ultra-demanding universe in which they operate, I can capture the complexity of their professional problems, develop their personality and share their culture.”
A visionary, she is probably one of the few to combine knowledge of the business world with that of the social, cognitive, and behavioral sciences with such finesse and rigor.
A necessary step because as she likes to remember: “The coach’s tool is the coach himself.” A very useful reminder for a very fashionable profession that, in fact, sees new coaches and so-called executive coaching companies emerge every day… for better and especially for worse.
In this relationship between the leader and the coach, in this welcoming and ultra-confidential universe, trust plays a fundamental role.
“The relationship between a leader and his coach is unique. For more than 20 years I have been fortunate to have the trust of leaders who occupy the highest positions in organizations. Because they are confident, I help them to reveal their full potential. In fact, there is a small time lapse between the solution that I intuitively and immediately perceive and the path to follow together to implement it effectively and sustainably. In this profoundly human discrepancy, the defects, the strengths, the representations or the beliefs are alternatively brakes or levers to achieve the objectives set. All this is done in a natural, smooth and full way. It is important to emphasize that the progress has been made in a definitive way”.
A leadership crisis?
When asked to understand what are the current problems of leaders in a context in which they seem to have to face multiple economic, social, generational transformations…, Sylvie Audibert answers with the serenity that more than 25 years of experience confer on her. highest level. “If we reread the literature of the beginning of the century, the themes of the acceleration of time, uncertainty, and generational conflicts are already present. The accompaniment allows the leader to find the essential vision height for the implementation of concrete solutions to the exposed problem. Each era undergoes its own transformation. Ours focuses on essential topics such as the digitization of organizations, artificial intelligence, teleworking, 21st century leadership, valuing the experience of the elderly or the differences in corporate culture and labor relations between generations. Of course, these transformations have an impact on the exercise of governance and the performance of companies, but they do not condition them. The human being remains his own problem and his own solution.
Public speaking, leadership, taking office, relocationbusiness consulting, strategic consulting and coaching, business and brand development, prevention and management of exhaustionNegotiations and fundraising, assistance in the strategic recruitment of future leaders, rewriting speeches and articles, self-confidence, attracting and managing young generations, evolution of the organizational culture: the topics covered are as varied as the profiles.
Public speaking of leaders is a recurring theme. “It is at the heart of the notion of leadership and the position of the leader. We work on authenticity, self-confidence, speech, voice placement, gestures, but also more deeply the springs that allow the leader to live his role serenely, carry a message and a vision that generate strong support from the teams and stakeholders. . The results are astounding, as leaders reveal themselves as they never allowed themselves to be. Released, alive, their presence is much more charismatic and that can be seen in front of employees, clients, investment funds or in the media”.
Certain other issues are also important to her, such as women’s leadership, assuming the leadership position, or relocating. “Women leaders reveal themselves to the Cabinet in just a few sessions: an impressive metamorphosis for each of them, with a solid and affirmed legitimacy.
The assumption of the position of a technician largely conditions the adhesion of the teams and the success of the following years. Failure is expensive. This stage requires preparation, just like the end of the race. I also accompany the manager to develop his vision and business strategy and the company’s billing, as is the case of many managers who consult me.
Around forty, support revolves around ambition, business creation, leadership, and issues of stress and burnout. Most 50-55 year old leaders have shifted their goals towards personal considerations or transmission issues. From the age of sixty a new page of life opens that will continue with retirement. Some elaborate a severe balance of their life, others are lost in an image of abysmal emptiness. Together we put the opportunities in their rightful place, we discern and trace their new stage of life”.
Dare !
“I am very attached to return on investment and the success of my clients makes me extremely happy. Support is a rigorous process, dotted with indicators and targets that measure its impact. All my energy is directed to the success of leaders. My approach to the executive coaching profession sums up your talents and those of your organization. It is a key moment of personal and professional fulfillment, a gift for the leader and the company. A revealer of destiny.”
Why did you choose this brand ‘AUDERE’ in 2008?
“ AUDERE® is a concentrate of the firm’s offers and services: this brand, which I created and registered with the INPI in 2008, and therefore protected, means DARE in Latin… and also allows a card game with AUDIBERT , my last name.
It takes audacity to be accompanied because we unconsciously know that we are leaving a comfort zone to overcome our fears and brakes. This new strength revealed and consolidated by our support will make possible the ability to dare even more to think outside the box, to innovate, to break new ground.”
So you need boldness to succeed… as long as you’re in good hands.
