Patricia Bouvard

is an experienced trainer, coach and facilitator who, for 15 years was an export manager in charge of the development of international products in the South American and Asia Pacific markets.

Products that Patricia worked with included perfume, cosmetics, fashion and decoration companies, such as Givenchy, Paco Rabanne, Pierre Balmain, Caron and Revillon.

She was also the Vice President in the US for a French decoration company and was given the mission to set up and develop their subsidiary.

Patricia has 13 years’ experience, facilitating multi-national groups in Europe. She specialised in behavioural change in leadership, management, customer and change issues. One of her most recent engagements included guiding a global insurance company through a cultural change; the main challenge was to change from a financially focused company to a more customer and people focused one. She is also a top executive and senior managers’ coach for global organisations.

Patricia is an entrepreneur and is the co-founder and managing director of Horizon Performance Conseil. For over 6 years she was the co-founder and co-director of Forest Consulting in France. Her company’s challenge is, on the one hand, to help organisations to consider the human being as the focus of their attention and, on the other hand, to be aware that collective intelligence will often be the key for innovation and sustainable success.

She delivers keynote speeches at International Business Schools on these themes and will soon be adding the “Y Generation” on her list!

She is an NLP Master Practitioner, a certified coach in systemic analysis and modelling techniques and was trained by Robert Dilts in France, Belgium and at the University in California. She is also a certified ISVOR DILTS and Axialent consultant.
Patricia’s creativity led her to co-create the Persona Method (psychological profiles and personal resources). This method is at the crossroads of the commedia dell’arte, NLP, Transactional Analysis and the systemic approach. She trains trainers on this method and delivers workshops on the issues of management, customer knowledge and personal growth.

Clients include:

 HP-Compaq, Eli Lilly, UBS, Suez, Altana Pharma, Cephalon, Amazon, EADS, Axa, and Novo Nordisk.

Patricia is known for her energy and dynamism in supporting individuals and teams and for her sense of commitment. She strongly believes that the learning process can be fun and light in the approach with a sustainable impact for people and organisations.

She trains and coaches in French, English and Spanish and lives in Nimes, France.
