Le Studio

What Le Studio does

Le Studio is a Paris-based solo professional coaching practice founded in 2017 by Clémentine Pons, a certified professional coach with 15 years of acting experience and a Master's degree in Coaching Practices from Paris 8 University (2015, with honors). The practice specializes in leadership development, public speaking skills, assertiveness training, career transitions, and expatriation adjustment, serving both individual professionals and corporate clients. Originally established in Hong Kong, the practice relocated to Paris in 2021 and is currently headquartered at 20 rue de Verneuil, 75007 Paris. Le Studio operates as a sole proprietorship with no disclosed external funding, investors, or institutional backing.

The practice's core offerings comprise one-to-one coaching sessions, group workshops (notably the productized "Voice Up" public speaking workshop), and bespoke corporate training programs. Service delivery relies on in-person sessions at the Paris office, remote sessions via Skype for international clients, and on-site workshops at client organizations. The underlying methodology is the central differentiating asset: an acting-based coaching framework that integrates theatrical techniques (body language, vocal presence, storytelling) with cognitive, behavioral, and systemic coaching approaches. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or software product; the practice is a pure professional services operation.

Revenue is generated entirely through fee-for-service professional engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, combining content marketing (blog articles, podcast appearances) with corporate referrals and named-testimonial social proof. Notable corporate clients include L'Oréal, Sogeti, Merck Sharp & Dohme Asia, Altice group, Asiapack, the French Ministry of the Environment, CA Lorraine, Brico Dépôt, the French Chamber Foundation (Hong Kong), and TEDx TinHauWomen. The customer base spans 10+ industries with a deliberate horizontal segmentation approach rather than vertical specialization.
