Career and Leadership Coaching for Experienced Professionals
You’ve built a successful career. Now, you want to feel aligned again.
Private coaching for experienced leaders and senior professionals who are ready for structured support, not another round of overthinking.
You’re capable. So why does it feel so hard?
You’ve always figured things out and seized opportunities when they appeared. You’ve navigated promotions, difficult stakeholders, team challenges, relocations, and life transitions.
But this time feels different. You are pausing, asking deeper questions about what you want next, and how you want to live and work.
You’re not in crisis, you’re not failing. You’re evolving. You sense that the way forward may need more thought, intention, or support. You want:
A clear direction,
thoughtful and aligned decisions,
confidence in your judgement,
and a sense of ease and joy in how you work and lead.
And you know that having the right partner would make you more effective. Not dependent.
High performers don’t struggle because they lack competence. They struggle because they try to carry everything alone.
After years in leadership and HR roles across the US, Switzerland, and Singapore, I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly:
The most capable professionals hesitate not because they lack skill but because they lack space.
Space to think clearly, to question safely, and to be fully honest.
That’s what a partnership with me provides. Not therapy, not generic advice, not impulsive change. But structured clarity and confident action.
From overthinking to decisive action.

Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Yvonne Durand. As a career coach and former HR leader, I support experienced professionals who are ready to navigate their next chapter with clarity and confidence.
With leadership and HR experience across the US, Switzerland, and Singapore, I specialize in guiding senior professionals through complex career and leadership decisions.
I understand the corporate landscape from the inside. The politics, the pressure, the expectations.
After leaving the corporate world in 2020, I chose to focus my work on experienced professionals and leaders who feel misaligned, stuck, or uncertain about their next step.
As a certified coach with over 20 years of professional experience, I combine strategic insight with emotional intelligence.
Clients often tell me they value having a steady, thoughtful sparring partner. Someone who listens deeply, challenges respectfully, and helps them turn insight into grounded action.
This is not about reinventing your life. It’s about making aligned, confident decisions within it.
What changes when you stop doing it all alone:
You make decisions faster without second-guessing.
You speak up with clarity instead of rehearsing conversations for weeks.
You stop looping in your head and start moving intentionally.
You understand your values deeply and use them as a compass.
You lead with confidence instead of quiet hesitation
You feel aligned, not just accomplished.
