Both a classical singer and a communications expert in international organizations, Marie-Hélène is a passionate European who devotes her energy to tackling communication challenges. Originally a language and music teacher, Marie-Hélène focused on empowering subaltern communities through public discourse and developed a deep interest in communications within the context of the European Union project. She has studied and worked in the United States, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Ireland, and Northern Ireland, while also conducting missions across the EU.
Trained as a pianist, then as a choral conductor and lyrical soprano, she has a background that bridges EU affairs and the performing arts industry. After 10 years working within EU institutions while maintaining her singing career, she invented a unique method to help individuals be heard, develop empathetic leadership, and unleash their own—and their team’s—creativity.
By sharing her classical singing techniques with communication professionals and business owners, Marie-Hélène has developed a seminar on creativity management and authored the book Sing to Better Communicate. She guides her seminar participants on a journey of self-discovery through their voice, leading to remarkable improvements in public speaking, leadership, and creative thinking. In 2022, she launched Soprano & Horses, integrating equicoaching into her seminars to enhance team management skills and lateral thinking.
Skilled in public speaking, political science and communication within international organizations, international negotiations, media relations, and event design and management, Marie-Hélène has been delivering seminars on EU interest representation, public speaking, intercultural communication, and international negotiation for the past 15 years.
