Ariane de Bonvoisin shared thisThis is a coaching tool I have used with every client I've worked with. Whether they are a leader in their family, start up, in a team or in their own life, we all have a go-to leadership style. Here's what I've learned: we all default to one of three styles when we're not at our best. I created the T.E.A. framework (Tiptoe, Explode, Avoid™) after years of coaching leaders who were brilliant in so many ways... and stuck in one of these patterns. 1. Tiptoe. Preserving connection and comfort at all costs. Avoiding the hard conversation even when everyone in the room knows it needs to happen. 2. Explode. Reacting instead of resolving. Letting emotion drive decisions that deserve more than that. 3. Avoid. Sweeping problems under the rug and hoping they disappear. (They don't.) There's no hierarchy here. Every style has a cost. The first step is just knowing which one is yours. Noticing fixes more than fixing! Sometimes we fall into different ones at different times or with different people... So tell me: which one shows up for you? This is a judgement-free zone. 👇 And yes, I do love tea! #AuthenticLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #BraveConversations #ExecutiveCoaching #ArianeDeBonvoisin

Ariane de Bonvoisin shared thisIf you’re navigating change, watch this. This short reel is a glimpse into how I speak about change, leadership, and what it really takes to move through uncertainty. I am a big believer that people don't need more information, they need more inspiration. So, no fluff. Just the conversations that actually shift people. And yes, you will laugh a few times if you watch this till the end. If you’re navigating change, or another synonym might as well be uncertainty — in your work, your team, or your own life — this is the work I do. Reach out if I can help.

Ariane de Bonvoisin shared thisMost leaders don’t lose credibility overnight. They lose it in at least 1 of 3 patterns they repeat every day: Tiptoeing. Exploding. Avoiding. I call it the T.E.A. acronym And the minute you fall into one of these, two things happen: 1. You start losing credibility as a leader 2. You start damaging the relationship No one respects someone who tiptoes around issues. No one trusts someone who avoids hard conversations. And no one feels safe around someone who explodes. So pick your pattern. Because you have one. Whether it comes through in feedback, in communication, in asking for help, in firing someone, in dealing with conflict... Which one is your dominant leadership style? That’s the one costing you the most right now. I went into this in depth during a recent off-site meeting that I facilitated for a client. And yes, this is also relevant for relationships at home! With your partner and your kids! If you want more tools like this -- the exact phrases and shifts I've used for years in coaching leaders through change -- Join me live. I'll be sharing what actually moves things forward. 👉 Register here:Ariane de Bonvoisin LIVE: The Elite Coach's PlaybookAriane de Bonvoisin LIVE: The Elite Coach's Playbook

Ariane de Bonvoisin shared thisWho else will be at TED in Vancouver next week? I’m excited to be back in person. My first TED was in 1997 in Monterrey! Unbelievable that is nearly 30 years ago. TED has been a meaningful part of my life over the years, both as a speaker, as a TED Resident and as an attendee, and I’m always grateful to return to that space. One of my favorite parts of TED has always been the the unexpected connections and the perfect synchronicity of who you meet. If you’ll be there and would like to connect, please comment here or send me a message. I’d love to see you. Good luck to all the speakers who are going to inspire us in Vancouver!

Ariane de Bonvoisin shared thisWhat a moment for space! With all eyes on the Artemis mission, it's hard not to feel the scale of what's possible right now. And how amazing technology is. And how amazing the human mind is. And how amazing our beautiful planet is. I have the privilege of working with Isar Aerospace , Europe's pre-eminent space company. Being on their rocket launch site in Norway, north of the Arctic Circle, gave me a perspective I won't soon forget. What I appreciate most is that this work continues regardless of where I or they are in the world. Recently, I joined ISAR's off-site leadership meeting remotely, delivering a keynote and facilitating a session with their team, a few weeks before their next launch! Different setting. Same mission. Supporting the people behind the mission. Ultimately, despite the crazy technology that can support all this, its still the humans who make extraordinary things happen.

Ariane de Bonvoisin shared thisThank you, Samer M., for this beautiful story and reflection. It’s such a good reminder of how we meet each other in the world when titles and roles aren’t leading the interaction. Imagine you don’t know who someone is, what they’ve been through, where they work, where they used to work, who they know... A whole new world opens up from this place. I’ve always believed that how we show up in those quiet, in-between moments says far more about us than anything that comes with a title. Your takeaway says it perfectly: Treat everyone as if they already are important. Because they are. And for anyone reading this, I highly recommend following Samer and his daily “My Two Cents”—thoughtful, grounded reflections worth the read.Ariane de Bonvoisin shared this💡 My Daily Two Cents At last year’s CoreNet Global Summit in Amsterdam, a colleague, Paul Isiuwe, and I sneaked into the 1,000‑seat auditorium during lunch. Empty stage. Perfect moment for a quick selfie. Except we weren’t alone. A woman was sitting in the front row. I hesitated. Then figured, why not. I asked her to take the photo instead of a selfie. She smiled and did. Then she asked if we could do the same for her. High five. We walked off. No names. No titles. Minutes later, the room filled. The closing session began. CoreNet Global’s CEO stepped on stage and introduced the keynote. That same woman walked up. Ariane de Bonvoisin She went on to deliver one of the most powerful leadership talks I’ve heard. Reminder to self: Titles disappear the moment you show up as a decent human. Status is irrelevant until someone tells you who’s important. So treat everyone as if they already are. My 2 cents.

Ariane de Bonvoisin liked thisAriane de Bonvoisin liked thisI rawdogged a Saturday with no phone, no bag, and no plan. Showed up at SFO with an AirTag, a credit card, ID, and a friend. We checked the departure board for a city neither of us had been to, and boom, San Diego flight leaving in half an hour. The counter agent said they haven't sold walk-up tickets in two years. The manager had to come over and do it. From there: - Asked a taxi attendant at the airport what to do in a day in San Diego - Went to the beach (obviously) - Walked into a hotel lobby for lunch recs - Got a caricature drawn on the boardwalk - Took a tuk-tuk to downtown - Found a homemade chocolatier and got a dinner rec - Had the best Mexican food either of us has ever had Technology can pull us away from people. Try rawdogging life with no phone/AI for a day and you'll be reminded how far human connection will take you. 10/10.

Ariane de Bonvoisin liked thisAriane de Bonvoisin liked thisWhen menopause hit me, I couldn't look at myself naked. I was self-loathing. Me. The woman whose entire career is built on helping other women feel good in their skin. I am a professional style strategist. I have spent decades helping women feel confident and beautiful in their bodies, and yet I was miserable in my own skin. I need you to really hear that. Because I know what you might be thinking: she's the expert, surely she handled it differently. She knew what to do. I didn't. I hid. Oversized clothes. Layers. Anything to make myself disappear. My body had changed in ways I didn't recognize. I felt foreign to myself. And the more I hid, the worse I felt. The hiding became its own punishment. I'm sharing this because I want you to know if you are standing in your closet right now feeling lost, feeling disconnected from your own reflection, feeling like you don't even know where to start... Well, I have been exactly where you are, and I found my way back. Not by waiting until my body changed back. Not by punishing myself into a smaller size. But by deciding, one outfit at a time, that I was worth showing up for. That decision changed everything. If you're ready to make it too, I'm here. #BodyConfidence #GetRajad #TheRajaEffect #ConfidenceIsTheBestStyle

Ariane de Bonvoisin liked thisLinkedIn vs. reality right now. Realized I was matching my headshot today and had to grab this side-by-side comparison. WHEW life has changed since January: ✅ Bald ✅ Visible port scar ✅ Mostly working from home or in a well-fitting KN95 mask while I'm immunosuppressed ✅ Sit-stand desk in sit mode 95% of the time (so endlessly tired all the time!) ✅ The most caring, supportive employer, leadership team and employee group (example: regular check-ins from fellow BECU cancer survivors, some of whom I haven't even met IRL yet) ✅ An amazing communications team pinch hitting while I'm at appointments every week and cheering me on as I hit treatment milestones It is an incredible privilege to be in a work environment that allows me to focus on my no. 1 most important goal this year: killing cancer. The longer I work and the more people I meet, the more I realize this kind of care is not the norm, as much as it should be. Every day I am grateful to be where I am right now. I keep telling people, if I MUST navigate another health crisis at work, there is truly nowhere I'd rather do it. I'm officially halfway through chemotherapy and ready to rock the rest. Let's go!! #cancer #breastcancer #canceratwork #BECUemployee

Ariane de Bonvoisin liked thisAriane de Bonvoisin liked thisHere's a photo of me, about a year and a half into starting my own company, trying to look like I already know it all... 🙃 When I decided to go my own way, one the hardest part was redefining success for myself. Not so much in theory, but in practice, in everyday decisions I’d made. I was holding so tight to my past achievements (presenting at conferences around the world, consulting some of the world’s most reputable companies, leading projects at promising startups, getting a PhD and publishing my research…) that I was convinced that these needed to be the ultimate building blocks for my “next big thing.” But what made it extra hard wasn’t so much about letting go of those achievements, but about letting go of the identity I had built around them. Because the more I tried to build from that place, the more stuck I felt. I wasn’t really creating anything new. I was trying to prove that my past still “counted” (and that’s a very different energy to create from). At some point, I had to accept that not everything that made me feel “successful” before needs to come with me in my next chapter. It took time, but it was a huge turning point (and a big relief!), one that ultimately led to making decisions that no longer needed to get an approval by my “old" self. I see this same challenge with many ambitious women I work with, especially during major career/life transitions. Trying to turn a new page while still holding tightly onto the past. But it rarely works that way. Energy, time, focus… they’re limited. You don’t build something new by holding onto everything that came before. At some point, you have to decide what stays and what doesn’t. So perhaps one of the most important questions to ask when redefining success is really: “What am I willing to let go of?” Curious to hear your thoughts as I'm launching a new personal growth program around this specific topic!

Spots are limited.) #RedefiningSuccess #PersonalGrowth #Coaching #FemaleLeaders #FemaleFounders --- Helping female leaders, founders, and creators redefine success during life’s most transformative moments. 💛 New program starting in September 2026.
