Her tenure at Tiffany & Co. not only realized this aspiration but also revolutionized HR into a more heart-centered practice. Through navigating adversities, Sophie learnt to get comfortable with discomfort in service of personal growth and evolution; cultivating self-love, embracing continuous learning, and unlocking mastery in mindset, emotional regulation and EQ - skills that became her superpowers and facilitated her dream life. Sophie developed a remarkable ability to realize any goal she set herself through unconditional self-belief, trusting her intuition, embracing personal development, and surrounding herself with like-minded mentors, family and friends who believed in her and offered developmental feedback. As she kicked her career goals, Sophie’s values and definition of success shifted from corporate ambition to prioritizing parenting and contributing meaningfully to human flourishing.

Her journey underscores a deep understanding that true success transcends corporate achievements—it lies in living authentically, embracing vulnerability, and making a positive impact. Sophie’s mission is clear: to enable individuals and organizations to cultivate authenticity, emotional intelligence, and heart-centred leadership. Through personalized coaching, organizational workshops, podcasts, and RPG community networking events, she is dedicated to empowering others to unlock their full potential, live in accordance with their values and use their strengths to achieve their versions of success; shaping a world where success is defined by genuine connections, impactful actions, and living as the highest expressions of self.
