Our Team

With 20 years’ experience in career and executive coaching, Françoise Carbonnel is committed to helping agile people 'take the leap', find their own place and love their job as much as she loves hers.

Her passion for human and professional development has always influenced her career, from working for Sénanque, a recruitment and career consulting firm in France, to setting up Harmony & Mobility Consulting, her own consulting companies in Asia and the UK.

This has enabled her to build recognised expertise in outplacement, coaching and career coaching to facilitate career mobility and support people who have to find a job or embrace a new position, or who want to change their career path.

While living in Beijing in 2008, she set up Harmony & Mobility Consulting with a dedicated team to manage career transitions and challenges of expatriates.

Since then, the team has grown and she has developed Harmony & Mobility Consulting in London, engaged herself as a volunteer at Shaw Trust UK and become part of 3TimeProject and Beyond Performance.

In all of these commitments, she is proud to serve a tribe of happy mobile professionals who she empowers to not be 'lost in transition’.
Happily nomadic by nature, she is fortunate to have been living a rich expatriate life for 20 years in South America, Europe and Asia. She has, herself, been ‘lost in transition’ many times! So when it comes to mobility and professional change, she truly knows what it takes.

Françoise holds a master's degree in Management specialising in Human Resources from the French University Paris-Assas. In 2008, she decided to focus on coaching and participated in different individual and group programmes in Paris and Singapore, accredited by the EMCC and ICF . She is a Mediat-Coaching Coach and certified in two personality inventory tests: SOSIE and Hogan.
