Betsy Parayil et Patrick Hoffstetter

Since 2019, we have been coaching, advising and accompanying individuals and organizations in their transformation. It all started with a meeting, a diversity of experiences, and a shared vision. When our paths crossed, our convergence was obvious.

We have often been called upon to support change in the corporate world, and we have experienced first-hand the limitations of many transformation programs.

Our name reflects the essence of our commitment: Connection Leadership intervenes to connect each individual, team and organization to their ability to regain control and create their future, in a context of constant change and uncertainty.

Our mission

To transform individuals and organizations in a sustainable way

We want to transform the way people and companies experience change. Our mission is to accompany the transformation of individuals and organizations through a holistic, actionable, practical, enjoyable, measurable and sustainable approach, in order to no longer undergo situations but be an actor of change instead.

Who we are

In every situation, our actions are guided by need, empowerment, co-creation and creativity.

We are curious, passionate and demanding. We do not rely on prior experience, but rather on a keen awareness of what is going on in your organization.

Our pursuit of excellence is reflected in the nature of our interactions with you: we do not leave anything in the shadows just because it may seem more convenient in the short term. On the contrary, we position ourselves to welcome every event, every piece of information, in order to map the invisible architecture of your potential. And we are committed to providing an appropriate response in real time, with perseverance and tenacity so as not to lose sight of the objective that we have defined together.

These are the founding principles of mindfulness that drive us deeply and that we know are essential to an agile, creative and concrete transformation of the company.

At Connection Leadership, we share common values: Fun, Empathy, Mindfulness, Authenticity, Creativity and Commitment. With a network of over 60 consultants and a large ecosystem – startups with specific functional or industry needs and privileged relationships with key players in the digital ecosystem – we aim to influence by transforming the way people, entrepreneurs and organizations adapt to change.
