What if you were to stop what you’re doing and truly listen to yourself? Would you be exactly where you’re at right at this very moment or would you be someplace else?Through sharing her career journey and story, Ann-Madeleine also opens up publicly about what led her to her burnout, how she navigated this challenging period and more importantly: what she did to recharge, realign and find herself again. Expect this episode to be a true source of inspiration as Ann-Madeleine shares more about her professional journey which included carving a path for herself as well as for others, but also how more recently she moved away from a go-go-go approach to tune in & being kind with herself. Please note that for this episode, Ann-Madeleine has shared her story in her personal capacity.About Ann-MadeleineAnn-Madeleine Njike is a senior in-house legal counsel at Barclays Bank in the Structured Products and Equities team, based in London. As a qualified lawyer (England and Wales) and bilingual French jurist, Ann-Madeleine supports business partners globally. Prior to her role at Barclays, she spent over 10 years at Crédit Agricole CIB London branch. There she set up Crédit Agricole’s first ever complete SRA in-house qualification training programme for employees. Ann-Madeleine was the first to qualify under this programme, studying part-time (evening) for two years whilst working in the Capital Markets Legalteam (which was a challenge!). Ann-Madeleine is of mixed cultural heritage (British/Cameroonian) - born in France while also living in Cameroon for three years as a child, she was brought up in a blend of cultures and languages which helped her develop a strong ability to see and understand different and unique perspectives. Ann-Madeleine deeply believes in empowering others to become the best, most authentic version of themselves. She believes that we are all able to transform our lives in the most magnificent way,regardless of our past and to transcend cycles which may have kept us stuck for a bit. One of her deepest convictions is that we each have incredible gifts to bring to this world. To her, the best is always to come and she will always strive to support others through mentoring, coaching and sometimes just active listening or holding space. That’s just how she’s wired! When she’s not discussing personal transformation and life’s big questions with others (soul food for her), Ann-Madeleine enjoys mindfulness and energy practices, weights training, horse riding,scuba diving, travelling the world (and enjoying its foods), reading and creating medicinal tinctures. One of her favourite quotations - “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” - Wayne DyerYou can contact her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ann-madeleine-njike-douffa-dinallo/And if you want to contact Ann-Madeleine via email: [email protected] AnaïsThank you for listening to this episode you incredible human being!

Diane is a true force of nature and maybe like me, you’ll feel how contagious her peacefulness and mindfulness are! About Diane TourenBorn in France, and recently Canadian, Diane (aka Dee) had the opportunity to travel and discover other cultures at a very early age. After studying at a prestigious university in Canada and a hospitality school in Switzerland, she started her career by choosing companies that reflected her personal values (Ritz-Carlton and Sephora amongst others). Being laid off after the pandemic, she decided to explore a different way of life based on living together and community service which resembled more what she had known in China. Thanks to almost “magical” circumstances, she discovered Plum Village, a Buddhist monastery created by Thich Nhat Hahn in the Bordeaux region in France, that serves as a school for mindfulness and engaged Buddhism, and receives thousands of people every year in the hope of contributing to more peace, joy, and happiness in the world. She is now contributing to the monastery life by offering her presence and living there as a long-term resident and freelance worker. If you are interested in learning more about Plum Village or Thich Nhat Hanh please click here.You can contact Diane on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianetouren/ About AnaïsThank you for listening to this episode you incredible human being!
