In Conversation with Sophie Morice
Tell us about your background:
My name is Sophie Morice, and I am a seasoned leader developer with over two decades of experience in entrepreneurial and executive roles within luxury brands. My journey from the C-suite to founding a leadership consultancy aligns with my passion for cultivating leaders.
Specializing in upskilling high-potential individuals, I deliver measurable results—increased engagement, efficiency, talent retention, and readiness for leadership roles. With profound empathy for leaders, I offer teachable skills and individual and group coaching, fostering lasting, positive transformations. Collaborating with forward-thinking companies, we progress from good to excellence to greatness.
In today's competitive landscape, prioritizing a people-centric approach is a necessity. With ten years of coaching, business acumen, and a bi-cultural perspective, I bring French and American insights to a global clientele.

What has been the biggest challenge in your career so far?
The biggest challenge turned out to be the most significant learning: reinventing myself in different roles.

Success is assessed by the joy and passion I feel every morning as I go to work.
How has networking contributed to your professional growth and success?
As a solopreneur, networking fills the void left by the team and colleagues I no longer have.
What are your top networking tips for building strong connections in your industry?
Be curious, kind, and give before asking.
