Holistic Support for Families in Life Transition and Expatriates
Welcome to La Clé du Lien, a training and coaching organization I created to meet the needs of children, teenagers, adults and families experiencing major transitions in their lives. Whether it's an expatriation, a change in personal or professional life, my holistic and caring approach aims to support each member of the family through these stages with serenity and fulfillment.
I am committed to offering a teaching approach that goes beyond traditional learning and focuses on the whole human being. My support is based on :
Active listening to understand the specific needs of each family member,
Kindness to create a secure, rewarding environment,
Adaptability to offer tailor-made solutions that respect individual rhythms and values.
For me, a successful life transition means balancing personal, family and environmental aspirations, while strengthening family ties.
Life transitions, whether expatriation or major change, bring their own challenges:
For children, adapting to a new school or cultural environment can be destabilizing. They may experience frustration, a lack of reference points or a loss of self-confidence.
For teenagers, the challenge is to build themselves in a context of instability, while navigating between the demands of school, social pressure and the search for their identity.
For adults, reconciling professional and family responsibilities with personal needs in a context of change can lead to stress and uncertainty.
For families as a whole, maintaining harmony, communication and the bond between all members is essential to living serenely through these transitions.
At La Clé du Lien, I support each family as a whole, while taking individual needs into account:
For children, I offer individualized academic and emotional support to help them adapt, regain confidence and flourish in a new context.
For teenagers, I offer tailor-made support combining guidance and method, to help them find their place, develop their autonomy and build their life project, even in situations of transition.
For adults, I design personalized training programs (languages, personal development, change management) to enable them to reconcile professional goals with personal well-being.
For families, I facilitate communication and harmony through workshops and family support sessions, which strengthen bonds and help build a positive dynamic in this new phase.
Thanks to my human and global approach, La Clé du Lien has already helped many families make successful transitions:
Expatriate families: Helping children and teenagers integrate into new school systems and cultures, while providing parents with tools to better manage this period of change.
Professional and personal transitions: I have supported adults in their professional reinvention and in managing new responsibilities, while strengthening their family balance.
School support: By providing a caring, supportive environment, children's academic performance and well-being improve considerably, according to feedback from parents.
Whether you're an expatriate family, undergoing retraining or going through an important life stage, La Clé du Lien is here to support you. Together, we'll build a path that will enable you to transform this transition into an opportunity for each member of your family to flourish.
See you soon,

I'm living proof!
For over twenty years, I've devoted my life to coaching, guided by deep-rooted values of listening, caring and commitment. My journey, rich in experience and life lessons, has been marked by successes, trials and moments of reflection that led me to create the business I'm in today.
A journey rich in experience and learning
My professional adventure began in the world of export, where I worked for five years in a hardware trading company. I quickly progressed to the position of Export Manager, managing a small team and negotiating with demanding European customers. This role enabled me to develop skills in international project management and intercultural communication, but above all it taught me the importance of open-mindedness and tolerance in professional relationships.
I then joined a major French pharmaceutical laboratory, where I worked for twelve years in international sales. At the same time, as a mother of three, I tried to reconcile everything with a job that was becoming progressively dehumanized, caught up in hyperactivity and perfectionism. This led me to burnout in 2016.
Trials and the Transition to Transmission
This difficult episode was a turning point in my life. It was thanks to a skills assessment and coaching that I was able to bounce back. I realized that if you try to do everything on your own, without taking a step back, you can end up in a situation that becomes unsustainable. This experience opened my eyes to the importance of refocusing, of getting to know ourselves better, and of looking for what relieves us and makes us better.
It was in this distancing that I found the strength to redirect myself towards what was really close to my heart: transmission. At the age of 38, I decided to go back to school and obtain a professional degree in educational support and coordination. This choice wasn't simply a career move, it was a move of the heart, rooted in the conviction that education and support are essential levers for individual fulfillment.
Creating customized, human training
On the strength of these experiences, I decided to set up my own tutoring and trilingual training business, in order to offer rigorous and deeply human support. As a micro-entrepreneur, I've had the privilege of accompanying many students, both children and adults, adapting to their specific needs, whether for tutoring or foreign language training.
My experience at a Montessori school, in particular, left a lasting impression on me. Working with teenagers from diverse backgrounds enabled me to see how a personalized, caring approach could transform differences into strengths. This challenge has strengthened my conviction that education must be inclusive, respectful of individual rhythms, and always geared to the development of each individual's personal values.
My Values for Your Success
By going through these trials, I now know the path that leads to personal, family and professional fulfillment. That's why the values that guide my day-to-day work are those I wish to pass on to my learners: active listening, benevolence, method, adaptability, positivity, confidence and commitment. Coaching is not just about acquiring knowledge, it's also about helping each individual to discover and build themselves, and to rise towards meaningful success.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to accompanying you on your path to success, in a setting where your values and aspirations will be fully respected.
See you soon,
Anne-Laure Bernanose
