My Story

Hi, I’m Peter Melens, and I’m an ACC Certified Transformational Coach, based in Paris, France. I am certified by the International Coaching Federation

My passion for coaching and leadership development began in 2016 when working as a Senior Leader for a UK Government agency = the Animal and Plant Health Agency. I subsequently moved to Paris in 2019 to work for the World Organization for Animal Health, an intergovernmental organization that sets standards for animal health and welfare. In my role as a leader, I started to develop myself in coaching. 

I understood that I not only needed to understand my own personality and qualities but that I could use coaching skills to really help people and make a difference in their lives.

My Mission 

My mission is to coach introverts to unlock their potential and help them see their limiting beliefs as strengths and opportunities to succeed in life, personal relationships, and careers.

In doing so, I use and combine my own experiences as an introvert to develop personal strengths tailored to their personality, rather than offering a toolbox to become an extrovert. 

I believe that introverts can use their energy in a positive way to get things done against all odds. I want them to love themselves through self-compassion and self-knowledge. 

These principles are an essential foundation for success. 

Let’s face it, everyone is different, and we owe it to ourselves to accept ourselves for who we are and use our strengths to better ourselves and others.

So the balance I'll create won't only lead people to understand the important values they should apply in life but also drive a society of continuous improvement and self-actualization.

 What My Clients Are Saying

  • Hilary Burgess, Veterinarian

    “I've never been a great fan of coaching - sports or life, so I had no great expectations for my session with Peter Melens. I did a lot of talking - lots of problems I had and decisions I had to make. This went on for quite a while. Then there was a pause, a space, a silence, broken when my coach quietly mentioned that nothing that we had discussed this far was about me. The conversation turned on its head. Suddenly I was out of my comfort zone in uncertain territory. Feeling exposed. What was about me? Stripped back from family needs and obligations, where was I? Then began a much more difficult and focused conversation. It has actually been liberating - the realization that in a lot of the issues I had been grappling with, I was not actually the main player. Since our session, I have come ahead in several ways. Would I have got there anyway without Peter Melen's coaching session? Maybe - but to be honest, probably not!”

  • Mari Gandhi, Coach

    “My coaching session with Peter made me realize the challenges that I was facing in procrastinating. I wanted to write a book for a long time, and somehow, I felt I had other priorities, and I never got an opportunity to write. But after the amazing journey with Peter, I felt a positive vibe in making my dreams real by writing them down. On the first day itself, I wrote 1200 words, and whenever I stopped, Peter was there to inspire me. I thank Peter for this strong journey in making me acknowledge what my potentials are and how I can best put it to use.”

  • Arras Mathieson, Student Merchant Navy

    “Peter was a great help as a life coach. It was nice for me to have someone who I felt genuinely wanted the best for me and always asked the questions that needed asking because I never thought about asking them of myself. He never led me into a decision but guided me through my own thinking, which I appreciated very much. This was my first coaching experience, and it was really transformative for me.”
