Sylvie Young - Life and Executive Coach
Sylvie Young - Life Coach

“Although I did not realise it at the time, many of the skills that I accumulated during my City career turned out to be exactly those I now employ as a coach: understanding how companies work, having insight into human behaviour, utilising persuasive communication and, above all, recognising the importance of listening. Although art is where I escape and discover myself, I am really passionate about people. I am truly fulfilled by encouraging someone to explore and to enrich his/her thinking, to become truly responsible for his/her thoughts and actions, and therefore to become a bigger and better person. The reward lies in knowing that I have made a positive difference to somebody’s experience of life”.

Sylvie Young has become a true French-British bi-cultural creation. After receiving an MPhil in Economics from Aix en Provence, she worked at City University London’s Cass Business School. Then, for the following 15 years, she was engaged in the City of London’s securities industry, working with specialist teams responsible for marketing European equities to European based fund managers.

Throughout the 80’s and 90’s she was one of a small group of women with a family who succeeded in the then traditionally male world of investment banking.

Sylvie is a qualified Life and Executive Coach, a LAB Profile Practitioner and an NLP Practitioner. She has her own practice as well as being an Associate in Eagle Performance, a successful leadership development practice.

Sylvie lives with her family in London. She enjoys theatre, opera, French cinema, oil painting and travelling.
