Escale

[ɛskal]

Change begins with a moment to pause – to regain clarity and focus.
When we take a step back, we start to see patterns, uncover what truly matters,
and expand our perspectives and options for action.

Coaching creates that space – to reflect, realign, and develop solutions that move you, your team,
and your organization forward with purpose and impact.

The Nice Intensive

PAUSE . EXPLORE . EVOLVE

Sometimes, change needs space – in time, in place, and within yourself.

In an exclusive format in Nice, we dedicate several days to focused work on your key topics.

Stepping away from daily routines opens space for genuine clarity, reorientation, sustainable decisions, and tangible next steps.

If desired, a tailored framework program can further support balance between body and mind.

And because real transformation takes time, our collaboration continues beyond the days on site – ensuring that what you’ve developed becomes a lasting part of your everyday life and business.

Just 45 minutes from Nice, La Bergerie – a former 17th-century sheep farm – offers an inspiring setting for leaders and teams to step back and gain new perspective.
With its old stone walls, massive wooden beams, and views stretching from the mountains to the sea, it brings together authenticity, calm, and clarity — the perfect environment for reflection, development, and strategic thinking.

ToGatherMOMENTUM:
These multi-day workshops are co-facilitated with an experienced consulting partner, drawing on the principles of systemic-syntactic organizational consulting (SySt®) and solid business experience from senior roles in international companies.

The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.

My Approach

I work with a solution-focused, systemic approach, giving your topic a safe space and meeting you in an open and unprejudiced manner, at eye level. Working together, you will regain access to your resources and potential. I invite you to discover new perspectives as well as alternative courses of action and I am accompanying the change process.

In me you will also find a sparring partner on your way to suitable and sustainable solutions in regard to work related questions or your personal development. I am listening actively without losing sight of your goal.

About me

Annekathrin
Tasiaux

After completing my international studies in business administration, I gained valuable experience in various companies and leadership roles. I am familiar with the dynamics of family-owned businesses as well as the structures of international organizations.
Entrepreneurship, people, and organizational development shape the way I think and work – as does my fine sensitivity for people, relationships, and the dynamics of everyday business life.

Having spent much of my life abroad, I know what it means to live as an expat and feel at home in intercultural environments. Since 2020, I’ve been living with my family in the beautiful city of Nice.

I completed my systemic training at the renowned SySt Institute in Munich. Working with people – on their topics, goals, and relationships – has always inspired me.
I am grateful to accompany individuals and teams as a systemic consultant – supporting them on their way toward their better: a balanced alignment of culture, process, and strategy.

“Escale” in French means “stopover.”
I invite you to take this pause – a moment to reflect – so that you can continue your journey with renewed clarity, lightness, and focus.

Testimonials

After a traumatic incident at the beach, during which I nearly drowned while saving my children, I developed fears and a deep sense of uncertainty around the sea. Through coaching with Annekathrin, I was able to integrate these negative experiences and transform them into a moment of resilience and courage. Annekathrin created a safe and compassionate space where I could freely express my emotions. This support helped me regain my confidence and view the event from a new perspective, recognizing my resilience and ability to react in extreme situations. Today, I once again enjoy my morning walks by the water with my dog, rediscovering the joy and freedom I had lost. This healing process was profoundly transformative, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with my coach. The coaching session with Annekathrin has had an incredible impact on my life, and I feel stronger and more at peace than ever before.

Annekathrin's guidance has been invaluable in helping me make positive changes both in my personal and professional life. With her motivation and clear direction tailored to my individual circumstances, I have been able to confidently make the right decisions and take significant strides forward. I consider myself fortunate to have had her support.

In an ever-changing environment, the lack of time, visibility, and the number of parameters to take into account can make the decision-making process very difficult. When you are an independent professional and you are looking for your personal well-being, it is even more difficult because you have to make decisions "solo", "on your own" and QUICKLY! Annekathrin's support was very effective. I was hesitating between several possibilities and we found the perfect mix. The final decision seems fair and even easier to implement. I highly recommend her coaching! ->En savoir plus

J’ai pris 2 h de coaching avec Annekathrin, 2 h de lâcher prise ! Elle m’a donné des solutions pour faire face à mon stress et savoir le gérer.

“This was one of the most challenging and at the same time one of the best weeks of my life.” I came to the intensive coaching to Nice to realign myself - both personally and in my role as an entrepreneur. Annekathrin supported me in becoming more aware of my values and my mindset, and in defining my future direction more clearly for myself. The process focused on questions that influenced both my personal and entrepreneurial development: Who am I today? Which influences have shaped my thinking, my decision-making, and my leadership style? And what direction do I want to give to my company and to myself moving forward? At the beginning of the coaching, we jointly defined the goal of our work together. During this phase, many key topics already emerged that played an important role throughout the process. Through systemic constellation work, I gained exceptional clarity about the resources available to me, the dynamics influencing my actions, and how these factors impact strategic decisions. The first days of the intensive coaching allowed me to reflect on and reorganise personal topics - an essential basis for clear entrepreneurial decisions. Building on this, the focus increasingly shifted towards the strategic development of my company and defining concrete next steps. The process was supported by yoga, running sessions, and breathing techniques, which helped strengthen both mental clarity and physical energy. After four intensive days, I returned with renewed clarity, fresh energy, and a concrete plan for both my personal and entrepreneurial future.

About a year ago, Annekathrin introduced me to the constellation tool that can be used remotely via a digital solution (VisThema Board). At first, I was unsure and somewhat skeptical about the impact of such an approach at a distance. How could I experience sensations connected to personal experiences and explore them without physical, in-person presence? The experience turned out to be highly insightful and deeply human. The power of constellation work is present despite the distance and the digital format. The resonance I experienced was the same as in constellation sessions I had previously attended in person. The quality of Annekatrin’s presence and the subtlety of her professional questioning made me almost forget the screen and the tool. I was able to gain clarity on a project that has since taken shape and continues to grow progressively. Thank you, Annekatrin, for this discovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very grateful for my 2-hour session with AnneKathrin because it succeeded in opening a field of perspectives. I hadn't realised that I was operating with a mindset of blindspots that were keeping me in a state of self-doubt. I really appreciated the visualisation tool and the space that she gave me to realise what was blocking me from speaking my truth. With this new mindset, I feel confident now to reclaim what I need to thrive personally and professionally.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "I wasn’t sure what to expect from the constellation session, but I’m so glad I gave it a try. I was feeling stuck in my business—like something just wasn’t flowing—and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Annekatrin guided me through a powerful, interactive process where we mapped out the “hidden dynamics” at play. In simple terms, constellation work helps you look at your life, relationships, or business from the outside—as if you’re stepping back and seeing the whole picture on a stage. Through symbols, representatives, or even physical objects, you start to see connections, patterns, and blocks that aren't always obvious.

And then, you FEEL. This was the best bit. Trusting what you felt.

It was super engaging, deeply intuitive, and surprisingly emotional. What stood out most was how quickly I was able to shift my perspective and see where I was holding myself back. By the end, I felt lighter, clearer, and energized with a renewed sense of direction.

If you’re feeling stuck or weighed down by something you can’t quite explain, I highly recommend a session with Annekatrin. It’s hard to describe until you experience it—but it really works.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich hatte das große Glück, Annekathrin im Rahmen von MentorMe ein ganzes Jahr lang als meine Mentorin zu haben. In dieser Zeit befand ich mich mitten in einem Karrierewechsel und während dieses Umbruchs hat Annekathrin mir sowohl mit ihrem Fachwissen als auch mit ihrer persönlichen Erfahrung sehr viel Unterstützung geboten. Sie hat mir die richtigen Fragen gestellt, Denkanstöße gegeben und effektive Methoden vorgeschlagen, die mich in meiner Selbstreflexion enorm weitergebracht haben. Ihre sympathische, offene und reflektierte Art hat die Zusammenarbeit sehr leicht gemacht und ich durfte einiges von ihr lernen. Annekathrin ist immer auf meine individuellen Bedürfnisse eingegangen und gemeinsam mit ihr konnte ich meinen weiteren Weg und ein neues berufliches Ziel definieren. Mir hat die Zusammenarbeit sehr viel Spaß gemacht und ich kann sie als Coach nur jedem weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank für deine tolle Unterstützung liebe Annekathrin😊

J'ai pu expérimenter ce superbe outil qui m'a permis de prendre conscience de mes difficultés et de mon potentiel pour atteindre mon objectif.
Annkathrinn est très à l'écoute et bienveillante. Elle m'a guidée avec douceur dans ma constellation. Je me suis sentie à l'aise, en confiance et rassurée  avec Annkathrinn à mes côtés.
Un clin d'oeil aux autres participantes à cet atelier qui m'ont offert une très belle constellation. Merci !
Ce fût un moment riche et très émouvant qui m'a laissée sans voix.
Merci Annkathrinn :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J'ai fait une constellation systémique avec Anne-Kathrin qui est une femme bienveillante et surtout douée. Grâce à cette séance j'ai pu obtenir des clés pour mieux comprendre mes objectifs. Cela m'a permis de bien réfléchir et d'avoir plus de visibilité. C'était très révelateur car ça m'a permis aussi d'identifier les bénéfices secondaires de ma situation actuelle. Certes Anne-Kathrin n'a pas de baguette magique mais elle est capable de vous faire découvrir ce qui est réellement au fond de vous. Je recommande vivement. Merci encore.

FAQs

Why opt for systemic coaching?

Systemic coaching expands the process by encouraging individuals and teams to consider the broader systems they are part of (e.g., organization, team, family), while enhancing their self-awareness.

The coach invites the client to shift their perspective and adopt different ways of looking at things. In this approach, the coach supports clients in finding self-responsible solutions to their challenges. Future-oriented, resource-based, and solution-focused, systemic coaching fosters positive, lasting change.

It is highly valued for its contribution to both immediate goals and sustainable personal and organizational development.

Where do the sessions take place?

Face to face sessions are held in Nice in my coaching room close to the harbour.

For the ones who prefer not to travel, I offer sessions via videoconferencing or telephone.

How to get started?

Please get in touch with a call or via email/ WhatsApp to arrange an appointment.

We will fix the goal in our first meeting (it can always be adjusted by the client) and start working.

How many appointments are needed?

This difficult to say and actually up to the client to decide. There is not a minimum number of sessions.

Depending on the complexity of the challenge we usually need 3-5 appointments. It can be more or less. Anyway, my goal as systemic coach is to enable you to continue working on your topic independently as soon as possible.

I am not in Nice. Are you coaching online?

Yes, with great pleasure. I preferably use Zoom for the online coaching. Skype is possible, too.

I will send you a link before the first teleconference, which will automatically enable you to participate.

What methods do you use in your coaching?

My solution-focused approach is shaped by a variety of methods and the following mentors:

Solution-focused conversation and systemic structural constellations: Insa Sparrer and Matthias Varga von Kibéd
Systemic organizational consulting: Iris Hunziker
Crisis intervention and traumatology: Hélène Dellucci
Conflict resolution, meditative communication, and anti-bullying consulting: Christa Kolodej
Hypnosystemic approach: Gunther Schmidt
Yoga and breathwork: Yuko Harmegnies

What are Systemic Structural Constellations (SySt®)?

Systemic Structural Constellations (SySt®), developed by Insa Sparrer and Matthias Varga von Khibed, combine solution-focused therapy with group simulations (e.g. the family constellations by Bert Hellinger). This method visually represents how a client perceives a particular system they are part of, such as family, a couple, work, or a team.

The goal is to make the dynamics and relationships within the system visible, enabling a better understanding and guiding it in a desired direction.

SySt can be done in groups with representatives or one-on-one, either online or in person. As a facilitator, I act as a host, avoiding interpretations and focusing on the client’s needs. Only the client can confirm or challenge what emerges in the constellation.

Common themes include external systems like relationships, conflicts, or communication issues, and internal systems such as decision-making, core beliefs, and values. The approach aims to uncover hidden resources, resolve conflicts, and restore balance within the system.

Confidentiality

I guarantee confidentiality, as far as legally permissible. Even in business coaching, I will not pass on any content-related information to the employer, but only talk about the status of the process.

In which languages do you offer the coaching?

I speak German, English and French and can offer the coaching in all three languages.

And for companies?

Please get in touch to discuss the needs of your company, team or executive(s). Sessions at your location are possible.
