Unlocking potential, fostering growth: Coaching with Sophie Hazi
“The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach.” – Seneca

With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry and leadership development, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals and teams. I help them navigate transitions, unlock their potential, and achieve sustainable growth. My journey has taken me from leading multicultural teams in luxury hospitality to guiding transformative learning processes as an Executive Coach and EMBA Cohort Lead at IMD Business School.

As an entrepreneur, I successfully ran a vibrant neighborhood restaurant. There, I gained valuable insights into customer relations, supply chain management, and the art of creating meaningful value propositions. This hands-on experience taught me the power of active listening, rapid adaptation, and translating customer needs into concrete strategies – skills that I bring directly into my coaching practice.

Why work with me?
I combine warmth, authenticity, and expertise in every coaching session. Through my years of experience in leadership and career development, as well as my advanced certifications, I support my clients in:

• Navigating professional changes with clarity and confidence.
• Strengthening leadership and interpersonal skills for personal and professional success.
• Decoding group dynamics to form strong, high-performing teams.
• Developing resilience and adaptability in dynamic, global environments.
• Designing customer-oriented value propositions inspired by real-world challenges and solutions.

My Coaching Philosophy

My coaching approach is rooted in empathy and inclusion, creating a space where clients feel valued and empowered to reach their full potential. In doing so, I follow a supportive yet courageous approach:

• Supportive: I provide a safe and encouraging environment to openly explore challenges and goals.
• Courageous: I create space for honest conversations, challenge assumptions, and thus inspire meaningful change.

Each session is stimulating, reflective, and tailored to your individual journey – with concrete action steps and new self-confidence.

My Focus Areas

• Leadership and personal development
• Professional transitions and strategic planning
• Decoding group dynamics
• Customer-oriented value creation (expertise from the hospitality industry)
• Courageous, supportive communication
• Inclusion and equality
• Mindfulness and Positive Intelligence

Beyond the Professional
My friends call me “Happy” – a nickname that reflects my passion for life and connecting with others. Whether hosting with a warm laugh and good food, leading transformative coaching sessions, or sailing and skiing in nature – I love creating meaningful moments.
