Life Coaching, Events, and Resources

For a long time, I was very good at achieving things I wasn't sure I actually wanted. Consulting, competitive programs, the right résumé moves. I kept hitting milestones and kept feeling like something was slightly off. It took a lot of honest reflection and a willingness to make some unconventional choices before I started building a life that felt genuinely mine. That path — from optimizing for external validation to making decisions rooted in actual values is what I help clients navigate. I've relocated internationally, changed industries, made career bets that didn't follow the obvious script, and learned how to get comfortable with choices that don't have a clear benchmark. I work best with high-achievers who are succeeding by most measures but quietly wondering if they're building toward the right thing. My approach is direct and grounded: we figure out what you actually want, identify what's getting in the way, and build a clearer path forward.

I’m a certified life coach, yoga/meditation teacher, and energy healing practitioner, with a Dartmouth MBA and over a decade of experience in high-pressure environments (management consulting, nonprofits, VC-backed startups). I combine life & career clarity work with nervous system regulation and contemplative practice. Over the years, I’ve observed a pattern: ambitious people who know something needs to change but feel too scattered, anxious, or dysregulated to act on it. They have clarity but no capacity. Or capacity but no clarity. What former clients say: "In just 4 sessions with Omika, I was able to make strides in areas I've been stuck in for years. I reframed thought processes that weren't serving me, expanded my mindset, and built confidence. These results were beyond anything I had expected from coaching.” — Management Consultant “Omika helped me navigate mindset shifts during a big life transition and overcome imposter syndrome effortlessly." — Cardiologist “Omika strikes the perfect balance of giving her input and perspective where necessary but also allowing space for clients to come to realizations on their own." — Corporate Attorney I work with operators, founders, consultants, and ambitious professionals who are: * Navigating career transitions or pivots * Feeling misaligned or stuck * Ready to take on their next massive professional challenge * Committed to building sustainable success > chasing impressive titles My sessions integrate: Life & career coaching (clarity, decision-making, values alignment, tactics) with meditation and regulation practices (nervous system capacity, breathwork, embodiment, presence under pressure).

You don’t need a life coach who only has theories—you need someone who has built systems, navigated pressure, and executed plans in the real world. My coaching is grounded in the same disciplines that drive success in strategy and leadership: clarity, structure, honest feedback, and consistent follow-through. I help high-achieving professionals translate ambition into action—whether that’s leveling up your career, building stronger habits, improving your relationships, or designing a life that feels aligned and intentional. Clients work with me when they’re navigating a career pivot, stepping into bigger leadership, rebuilding habits, or trying to level up relationships and lifestyle without burning out. If you want coaching that’s structured, candid, and practical—this is built for you. Here's what you from life coaching sessions with me: 1) Structure not fluffy feedback 2) Candid & Clear insights - without judgment 3) Strategic & Practical advice 4) Accountability-driving milestones & action plans

I help ambitious people stop running on autopilot and start making intentional choices about their careers and their lives. After 20+ years in product leadership at companies like LinkedIn, Meta, and Vodafone, and after my own share of burnout, cross-continental moves, and professional reinventions, I know firsthand that success means nothing if it comes at the cost of your health, your relationships, or your sense of self. Recently, I put that philosophy into practice in the most personal way possible: after 20 years as an expat in Düsseldorf, London, and over a decade in Silicon Valley, I moved my family back to the South of France to build a life I actually designed, not one I defaulted into. That's what living with intention looks like to me. My coaching approach draws on all of it: the experience of leading teams through complexity and ambiguity, the hard-won lessons of rebuilding a career and a life multiple times as a working parent, and my ongoing work at Live Well with Cécile (www.livewellwithcecile.com), where I write about health, wellbeing, and productivity for real people. No extreme biohacking, no overwhelm. Just the foundations, done consistently.

As a coach, mentor, leader, and father, I'm the right choice for you if you are eager for a comprehensive, in depth, introspective and structured approach which is paired with ongoing accountability. If you like the idea of a personal advisor providing "tough love" to help you ACCOMPLISH your deepest life goals, I'm your coach.

I am a Harvard-educated Wharton MBA graduate with more than seven years of industry experience and over three decades of life experience. My roots are in a vibrant, predominantly Haitian community in NYC. Being the first in my family to graduate from college and earn a master's degree, I navigated many of life’s ups and downs with the invaluable support of mentors, friends, and even kind strangers. I am deeply grateful for their guidance. Having worked at prestigious firms like Salesforce, Uber, and Accenture, I have cultivated a rich blend of professional knowledge and personal insight. I am thrilled to leverage this background to help you identify what truly matters to you and to live a life aligned with those values.

I am a professionally trained Co-Active coach and corporate strategy leader with over a decade of experience working with high-performing professionals across consulting, technology, finance, and entrepreneurship. Alongside my coaching certification journey, I bring real-world leadership experience from management consulting and senior corporate roles, where I have supported individuals and teams through career transitions, high-stakes decision-making, and identity shifts. This dual lens of structured strategy and human-centred coaching allows me to meet clients both practically and emotionally - helping them clarify what they want, build confidence in their choices, and take aligned action. My coaching style is grounded in deep listening, curiosity, and accountability rather than advice-giving. I work especially well with mid-career professionals, emerging leaders, and individuals navigating change - whether that is a career pivot, burnout, confidence challenges, or a desire for greater purpose and fulfilment. Clients often describe our sessions as both grounding and energising: a space where they can think clearly, reconnect with their inner voice, and move forward with intention rather than pressure.
