Helene Brichet Herbinet

As an Executive Mentor, Helene’s mission is to help the next generation of finance leaders reach their full potential whilst maintaining a personal balance.

She will support and inspire you all the way on your growth and development journey as a finance professional. This means empowering you to become the best leader you can be.

Helene will share the learnings and perspective on her professional and personal experience. Understanding how others navigated similar situations before you will encourage you to confidently embrace the challenges and opportunities of your role and on your progression path. As such, mentoring is all about accelerating your personal and professional development and learning.

Helene will create a safe space where you can engage in open dialogue, reflection and exploration. Helene will work with you to identify and build on your key strengths and will suggest ways to address gaps in skills and knowledge. ‘Life is a marathon’ yet at demanding speed and with high stakes, so being able to sustain the challenges, pace and demands of professional life – whilst enjoying the journey – will be a key pillar of your progression journey.

With Helene encouraging you and positively challenging your thinking along the way, you can expect to get a deeper self knowledge, develop a clearer sense of direction and find your authentic leadership voice. With enhanced clarity about your goals, being more aligned and resilient, and equipped with an extended toolkit of skills and competences, you will have more personal impact and increased confidence to play a bigger role in the success of your organisation and of your team.
