Why I coach women like you
You've done everything right.
And yet you don't know where you're going anymore.
Why I coach women like you
I've been there. That's why I do this work.
A little about me
I'm Mylène Thisse, a self-leadership coach for women in transition. I help you find clarity when everything's shifting, and build success that fits, and holds, instead of forcing yourself into a plan that was never yours.
When I say "leadership," I mean self-leadership: knowing who you are, what you need, and guiding yourself from there.
I'm French, based in Stuttgart, and I've lived abroad for 10 years, so I know what it means to reinvent yourself in a culture that isn't yours.
Before coaching, I spent years in the corporate world across cultures and time zones, so when you tell me about pressure, code-switching, and constant adapting, I get it.
And before that, I worked in social housing, listening closely to what people really needed and helping them voice it and build their own solutions. That's still exactly what I do, and I still love every bit of it.
I'm late-diagnosed neurodivergent, so I'm the last person who'll ask you to fit a mold, or assume I know what you think, want, or feel.
And I'm a mum, so yes, I know what it's like to juggle everything and still try to show up fully.
Oh, and just so you know: I have high standards. Not for perfection. Only for authenticity… and for croissants. In our sessions, we go from tears to laughter and back, often with paper and colored pencils, and we tackle serious things without taking ourselves too seriously. That's how we get to the real stuff.
For a long time, For a long time, people praised my resilience and my drive. "But you're shining!" they'd say, and I'd smile, because what else could I do? I was trying to solve misalignment with over-achievement. Spoiler: effort was not the missing ingredient. Eventually my definition of success changed: from "good on paper" to truly livable. Not smaller, not less ambitious. Just more honest, more sustainable, more robust.
I don't hand you a recipe. I hold a space that's safe and gently challenging, and my coaching is neuro-affirming: we start from how you actually function, your nervous system, your values, your strengths, and design from there, with honest conversation and creative tools, at your pace. Nothing about you is broken, so we don't try to fix you.
What I'm like as a coach
“It's safe here. And we don't pretend.”
I'm a certified professional coach (ICF-trained), with continuous learning and regular supervision, and a clear ethical framework: confidentiality, consent, and respect for your autonomy.
Women I work with often describe the same shift: they finally understand how they function and start building around it. That attention to their needs, their pace, their way turns out to be exactly what makes them succeed. From a baseline that's truly theirs, they can meet whatever comes next.
Sound familiar?
This work isn't for everyone. It's for you if you're ready to question what you've been taught about success, and to dig deep, honestly, until you find what fits you. Really.
If this resonates, send me a message — tell me what you're navigating and what you want to feel different. That's all we need to start.
I work in English and French, remotely, or in person in Stuttgart, Germany.
