I’m Marie Rousselle, born and raised in Paris, France, and living in New York City since 2016. I am a certified professional coach, specializing in Career Transition and Leadershing coaching.
My purpose is to help others discover and live the life they choose and take the decisions that are right for them. No one else than you can choose your life and decide what is best for you. But that’s not the way it works usually and that’s why I’m here: to help you bring order in your spirit and clarify your thoughts.
I am a certified professional coach and my coaching is around values, strengths, and energy levels. I help professionals and individuals in their daily decisions as a manager, an entrepreneur, a job seeker. I adapt my coaching and my tools to my client. Each coaching session is different. With my coaching, I guide and clarify what my client wants, I work with them on plans and I follow them to be sure they do what they planned to do.
Before transitioning to coaching, I was working in digital advertising for more than 8 years when we took the decision to move to New York. My husband got a job and I followed him with the certainty that it would be easy for me to find my dream job. It was a big jump in a new world!
One of my dreams was to live abroad and to experience life as an expat. When I came in 2016, I knew that this new beginning in a new city, a foreign culture, with no friends and family, would not be easy. But it was our choice and I was sure it would be a great experience.
For me, New York is the city that never sleeps, where anything is possible. If you can do it in New York, you can do it everywhere! I can say this is true, for better or for worst. Many things have happened in my life since I moved to New York and that have made me the woman I am now.
2017 was the most difficult year of my life and I experienced feelings that I hope no one around me will experience in their lives. These feelings, these situations, this event definitely changed my life and I was not able to go back to what I was doing before.
I learned so much, about me, about my husband, my family, my friends that I have no regrets and I will never go back to my previous life. It was definitely life changing for me and I had the feeling that my life would never be the same.
When you have to go through very dark times you have no choice but to move forward. So that’s what I did. I have no regrets about the way it happened because I made the choices that I felt were right for me.
At some point, I felt that my experience could be useful and I took some time to think, discuss with friends, meet new people, to open my possibilities. And coaching came to me very quickly and naturally as the best way to help people to choose the life they really want.
And now, I am a certified professional coach, specializing in Career Transition and Leadershing coaching.

Je m’appelle Marie Barbezieux Rousselle, je suis née à Paris et j’habite à New York depuis fin 2016.
Je suis coach professionnelle spécialisée en transition professionnelle et personnelle et maman de deux petites filles.
Mon parcours est un mélange de reconversions professionnelles et d’expériences personnelles, dont une qui a changé ma vie et ma perception des autres et de moi-même.
Après des études de droit à Paris, une école de commerce avec une spécialisation en Ressources Humaines à Nantes, j’ai débuté ma carrière en RH puis dans la publicité et la communication digitale pen France.
Je me suis expatriée à New York où j’ai dû me réinventer et m’adapter afin de trouver rapidement un travail. J’ai fait du consulting pour des startup et j’ai remis un pied dans la publicité.
J’ai traversé une période extrêmement difficile qui m’a fait réaliser à quel point tout est fragile autour de nous et combien il est important chaque jour de créer une vie qui vaille la peine d’être vécue. Et que les épreuves que j’ai traversé ont certainement un sens.
J’avais besoin de me recentrer et j’ai senti que c’était le bon moment pour investir et lancer mon propre projet.
Que ce soit personnellement ou professionnellement, j’ai vécu beaucoup de transitions et mes expériences d’expatriation (dont la première au Japon) ont changé ma vision de la vie, pour le meilleur et parfois pour le pire.
C’est pour aider ceux et celles qui traversent des transitions, plus ou moins difficiles, que j’ai décidé de devenir coach professionnelle en 2018 et de créer Rainbow Life Coaching, après avoir suivi une formation à l’IPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching).
Ma spécialité est autour des transitions professionnelles et professionnelles, que j’adresse avec du coaching individuel (Life Coaching et Career Coaching) et professionnel (Leadership Coaching).
Le Life Coaching s’adresse à des particuliers qui souhaitent mieux se connaître pour appréhender plus sereinement les périodes de transition qu’ils vivent, notamment l’expatriation.
Le Career Coaching, je le fais toutes les semaines dans l’Atelier Job Search que j’anime dans une association. J’accompagne des chercheurs d’emploi francophones à New York, en majorité des accompagnant(e)s qui sont confrontés à des barrières culturelles et professionnelles et ont besoin de support. C’est un coaching de groupe, avec minimum 4 participants, même lieu, même heure, pour créer un rythme et des repères. Mon coaching les aide à déterminer ce qu’ils recherchent dans leur expérience d’expatrié(e) et je leur propose des outils et un cadre bienveillant et sécurisé. C’est un format que je déclinerai également à la rentrée de septembre, autour de petit-déjeuner dans des quartiers de Brooklyn, Manhattan et Astoria.
L’Energy Leadership Coaching est centré autour des actions et pensées que nous avons face à une situation donnée, comprendre mieux l’impact qu’elles ont sur nous et autour de nous. C’est une technique de coaching qui permet de prendre du recul sur nos émotions afin de mieux les maîtriser et les accepter telles quelles sont. J’utilise un outil d’évaluation Energy Leadership Index qui se base sur vos actions et réactions dans des situations de la vie quotidienne. Il permet d’évaluer quelle est votre première réaction, ou manière de penser, face à une situation précise.
A terme, avec cette technique, nous sommes capables de choisir comment nous allons réagir à une situation (s’énerver / se sentir abattre / voir le bénéfice pour soi ou pour son équipe).
Je l’utilise notamment en entreprises avec les managers qui doivent gérer une équipe et des situations conflictuelles.
