What if feeling unfulfilled at work isn’t a problem to be fixed, but useful information about what needs to change?

My keynotes and interactive talks draw on more than 20 years in global HR, my work as an executive coach, and the research behind Closing the Fulfillment Gap. I give audiences a practical way to think about what they want from work, and the moves they can make to get closer to it.

I speak at conferences, corporate offsites, leadership programs and employee resource group events. Topics include career fulfillment, women’s career development, leadership and workplace culture.Signature Talks Include:

• From Mindset to Motion: Using Motivation as a Lever for Change

• Taking Ownership of Your Career

• Vision Accomplished: Anchoring Your Future Self

• The Power of Community: Building Belonging to Fuel Growth 

• Overcoming the Confidence Gap: Strategies to Help Women Grow and Succeed at Work

Every talk is designed to:

• Create space for meaningful reflection

• Inspire practical, career-shifting action

• Uplift and energize teams and individuals alike

From startups to global NGOs, I’ve delivered sessions on career design, leadership mindset, motivation, and personal agency in both English and French across six continents.

Let’s bring an inspiring, community-building conversation to your next event.

“Helen is such a delight. She delivers her knowledge in an engaging and informative nature that keeps you wanting more. She injects research to back her material in a fun way that continues to validate and support her methodology. She provides tangible tools that one can use immediately to take action in their own lives and create the difference they are seeking. I can’t recommend Helen and her work enough. You will walk away informed and inspired to make positive shifts in your life.”

Flexible, expert advice when you need it. Book hourly support across a range of topics—from planning to problem-solving. This focused consultation will help clarify your goals, map out next steps, and identify opportunities for growth.

People are more likely to stay, and to keep growing, when they can see a way forward where they already are.

I partner with organizations to give executive and mid-level women personalized coaching that builds real career momentum. Through 1:1 and small group work grounded in evidence-based methods, I help women get clearer about what they want, strengthen how they lead, and take ownership of their next chapter — while giving the organization a clearer view of what its people need in order to stay.

Coaching Outcomes Include:

• Clearer goal-setting and career direction

• Enhanced executive presence and leadership skills

• Stronger strategic networks

• Greater fulfillment and ownership of career growth

My coaching has supported professionals across industries—from consumer goods and healthcare to academia and creative fields—empowering women to achieve breakthrough success and meaningful advancement.

Let’s work together to build a workplace where women rise.

“Helen’s coaching sessions were inspiring and provided me with great insights and tools to navigate often complex and challenging realities. Her experience and background in International Organizations were invaluable to our coaching group, and I left the sessions not only better connected but also motivated to take action.”

— Pina Valeria Roos, WIPO

Leaders don’t just want their people to succeed at work. They want them to stay, grow and lead.

I design and lead workshops that give people practical tools to think differently about their careers, see the opportunities already in front of them, and take meaningful next steps —and that give their leaders the conversations and structures to make that growth possible.

A good deal of this work happens with employee resource groups and business resource groups. ERGs and BRGs are often where people first go looking for direction, community and sponsorship, which makes them one of the most effective places to reach the talent an organization most wants to keep. I run offsites, retreats and career development sessions for resource groups at global companies, built around the group’s own community and the culture it sits inside.

Delivered virtually or in person, my sessions help teams:

• Increase employee engagement and retention

• Strengthen workplace communication and connection

• Identify shared values that drive aligned behavior

• Support employees in setting and achieving career goals

Whether your team is scaling, restructuring, or investing in leadership development, these workshops offer a meaningful reset—and a practical path forward.

Fluent in English and French, I bring an international perspective to every session. I’ve facilitated for Fortune 500 teams, academic institutions, and the United Nations, always tailoring each experience to the culture, industry, and people in the room.

Let’s foster an engaged and supported workforce.

“Dr. Helen led a wonderful offsite retreat for one of our employee resource groups at Google. Her experience and authenticity allowed each of us to connect to her story and feel heard. We truly appreciated how she was able to be flexible to the nuances of our existing company culture, as well as the overall tech environment and how this space is rapidly evolving. This was the first time that a facilitator took the time to ensure that we were learning from each other as much as we were learning from her. The physical and visual elements allowed us to have so much fun and genuine belly laughs that are often unexpected at work events. If you're looking for an event that combines community-building with career intention-setting, Dr. Helen is the one!”
