Clocking Out with Raymond Lee

In this episode of Clocking Out, Raymond is joined by Aurelie Foucart, the founder of Affirmed Leadership, a company dedicated to executive coaching and leadership training. Born and raised in Paris, France, Aurelie's early life was filled with a love for writing and playing the piano, but she ultimately followed her mother’s advice to pursue a more traditional path and earned a law degree.

Aurelie’s career took a fascinating turn after spending over a decade in management consulting, working in various roles at major international organizations. Over time, her passion for leadership development led her to start her own business, where she now partners with executives and their teams to help navigate complexity and build strong leadership skills during pivotal career moments.

Aurelie shares her unique perspective on the differences between working for French and U.S.-based companies, offering insights into how corporate culture and leadership expectations vary from country to country. She also opens up about the profound identity shift that comes with transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to break away from the security of a traditional career path.

Tune in to hear how Aurelie’s journey of embracing uncertainty and chasing her own dreams has allowed her to empower others to do the same.
