Mehmouda MITTELSTADT
Executive COACH
Mehmouda helps leaders and their teams to lead in a complex and virtual environment by provoking an awareness in their operating system (auto-pilot mode vs an actively creative mindset), reconnecting them to their deeper sense of purpose, and allowing them to grow and act accordingly in challenging situations. A kaleidoscope of several cultures (Indian, French, African), Mehmouda has worked for multinationals, United Nations and small companies. Over the years, she gained managerial experience in marketing, finance, and human resources. She understands the complexities of the corporate world, the numerous styles of management and the interpersonal relationships (emotional and cultural) that may emerge from people of diverse backgrounds and personalities. Her practice of ayurveda (“Science of Life” in Sanskrit) along with her daily practice of meditation for more than 25 years have allowed her to acquire a global vision of the human being and adapt herself to various cultural, professional, and social contexts. In her practice as a coach, she creates a bridge between the western and the eastern culture: combining the analytical and intuitive mind, offering a holistic approach to help people grow within their full potential.

TESTIMONIALS
“I had the immense pleasure to have the support and precious guidance of Mehmouda while onboarding my new international team into our new mission for the category to create Hair Care, Scalp and Manageability solutions that move the world. I found Mehmouda’s approach extremely profound as It is first and for most about people and knowing each other in the team to create a solid and sustainable base to win key strategic battles together.
This is an approach that is so much in line with the ZEITGEIST as it’s about the power of empathy for sustainable and robust growth. Thank you Mehmouda and please keep spreading this amazing method that brought us in just 4 days amazing results”

“The coaching work I did with Mehmouda was one of the most transformative experiences of my professional and personal life. The sessions balance discussions about short term, ordinary professional challenges with very deep reflexions about the root causes of behaviors that hinder one's life. Each session's discussions and exercises will shake up deep beliefs, but there is always an extreme concern from Mehmouda to make these reflexions practical and actionable. Real change and transformation are central to her work which make the investment and the time spent with her more than worthwhile”.
