France

Since 2015, I have been facilitating in 3 main areas:

  1. A community of women entrepreneurs

I am the founder, coach, and facilitator of Gals for Change, a cooperative community for women solo-entrepreneurs (coaches, trainers, facilitators). Over the years, I have trained more than 50 women entrepreneurs through programs lasting 6 to 12 months. Each year, I facilitate 44 online workshops and 3 in-person retreats. Common formats include collective coaching, sharing circles, co-development sessions, peer-to-peer exchanges, training, well-being, creative, spiritual or movement-based activities.

  1. Trainings on public speaking, pitch, and storytelling

I design and facilitate trainings for engaged citizens and organizations, ranging from 2-hour online sessions to one-day in-person workshops or 8-week blended programs. Historic partners include Station F, Panache, PitchMyStartup, Bouygues, CCI Paris, MakeSense, Sanofi, Groupe SOS, Schoolab, and ENGIE.

  1. Powerful Events as Master of Ceremony

I facilitate entrepreneurship, collaboration, and social impact events, including pitch sessions, panels, and conferences. Historic partners include ChangeNOW Summit, Kering Innovation Lab, Harvard, MIT, ENA, Epitech Hackathons, Enedis Entrepreneurship Program, L’Oréal Seminar, and VivaTechnology RATP.

«Rebecca creates and holds a space of sisterhood, support, and sharing, where we explore things in an alternative way. Gals for Change is a soft, nurturing, and energizing cocoon, sprinkled with a little sparkle for joy and ideas that flow freely! I feel like I’ve found a soul family — or a great group of friends with whom I know I’ll have a wonderful time, recharge, laugh, learn, and feel inspired.»
