The Strategy Circle
About
Le Cercle Stratégie was founded and is facilitated by Emmanuelle Le Gall-Bouchacourt
Emmanuelle Le Gall-Bouchacourt works with executives and managers facing complex decisions, transformation challenges or periods of strategic repositioning.
Her approach draws on more than twenty-five years of experience across major corporations, European institutions and entrepreneurship.
After beginning her career at Sony, Ericsson and Bouygues Telecom, she joined the European institutions, where she spent eighteen years managing international programmes and projects.
At the European Commission and subsequently at the European Education and Culture Executive Agency, she coordinated complex multicultural projects.
In particular, she coordinated the Europa Cinemas programme, a network of 1,200 cinemas across 27 countries supported by the European Union’s MEDIA programme.
She later founded Ydrosia, a certified natural and organic cosmetics brand, which she developed from product formulation through to market launch.
This entrepreneurial experience brought her face to face with the realities of decision-making: defining a market position, developing an offering, engaging partners, making choices with limited resources and taking responsibility for decisions made in uncertain circumstances.
It also led to a strong conviction: the more consequential the decision, the more a leader needs an external space in which to step back, challenge assumptions and preserve the quality of their judgement.
Certified in professional co-development facilitation, Emmanuelle now draws on this dual institutional and entrepreneurial experience to create structured and rigorous spaces for reflection, firmly grounded in real-world challenges.
The origins of Le Cercle Stratégie
Throughout her career, one observation has become increasingly clear: the more important the decision, the more likely a leader is to carry it alone.
Operational pressures, internal dynamics and the responsibilities associated with leadership rarely leave enough room to step back, challenge assumptions and consider the available options with clarity.
Le Cercle Stratégie was born from this observation.
It provides executives and managers with a confidential professional co-development setting, grounded in collective intelligence, purposeful questioning and the structured exploration of different perspectives.
The aim is neither to advise leaders in their place nor to impose a solution. It is to provide a robust framework for reflection, enabling them to clarify the situation, identify blind spots and make decisions with greater discernment.
Le Cercle Stratégie supports executives and organisations in Brussels and Paris through collective programmes and individual strategic advisory formats.
