ABOUT
OF ME
30 years of support, and still the same driving force: people
I’m Sophie Charpentier, a certified professional coach, HR consultant, and trainer.
At 53, I bring over 30 years of experience in both professional and human development to my clients.
My career began in England, in IT consulting, and later evolved into management consulting, human resources, and organizational transformation.
I spent many years working in both consulting firms and corporate environments, in France and internationally, alongside executives, HR teams, and managers.
I also served as an interim HR Director, often in complex or sensitive contexts.
In 2010, I expanded my practice to include professional coaching, convinced that meaningful transformation happens through — and thanks to — human connection.
I support individuals in transition, facing strategic decisions, or seeking reconnection with themselves, helping them regain clarity, alignment, and momentum.
I offer coaching experiences that reflect who I am: committed, structured, and deeply grounded in reality.
This dual perspective — from both corporate and individual coaching — keeps me closely connected to the real-world challenges of the field, to its tensions… and to its sparks of renewal.
My Posture
My approach combines:
-
deep listening to humans and systems,
-
concrete and pragmatic tools,
-
a demanding benevolence, which invites action as much as introspection.
I work with both individuals and businesses, around three main areas:
-
professional coaching, to support career paths, transitions and repositioning,
-
strategic advice, to inform decisions and reposition the course,
-
individual coaching, to reconnect head, heart and body at an often pivotal time in life.
My Certifications
I am continuously training with international references with the deep conviction that self-development is a path as demanding as it is liberating.

My References
For over 30 years, I have supported numerous companies and institutions (private and public) in France and abroad, in HR consulting, change management, managerial support and organizational transformation missions.
I have also supported a large number of people individually, at key moments in their professional or personal lives: transition, retraining, search for balance or meaning.
This diversity of interventions allows me to combine approaches, to connect strategy and humanity, and to support each client — organization or individual — with accuracy, clarity and depth.
On the business and institutional side
I work with public and private organizations of all sizes and in all sectors:
-
companies in transition or growth,
-
healthcare establishments, public institutions, communities,
-
executives, managers, HR teams, employees in transition.
My missions cover human resources and management consulting, change management, individual or group coaching, and strategic support in complex or sensitive contexts.
Individual side
I also support women and men individually, at key moments in their journey:
-
professional or personal transitions,
-
reconversion, repositioning, burnout or return to oneself,
-
quest for meaning, clarity or balance, particularly around the age of fifty.
