Bonjour! My name is Catherine Manin
I was born and raised in France, where I received my academic education and started my professional career. I studied international business at Strasbourg Business School, allowing me to spend one year in Tokyo and another in Los Angeles at partner universities.
I am a multi-skilled professional with over 20 years of experience in France and abroad. I began my career as an assistant in various industries in Paris, primarily in the pharmaceutical sector.
Even though, at that time, I was working and living in Paris, I regularly traveled abroad—mainly in Asia—as a backpacker or volunteer. After several months of traveling, I would return to Paris to resume my professional life until the next trip. However, I was increasingly attracted to living permanently abroad—not only as a tourist.
This passion for overseas living led me to Thailand, where I embraced a role as a customer service representative. I then continued my journey in Portugal and Spain in the customer service industry, taking on diverse roles, including virtual secretary, technical advisor, quality analyst, order management specialist, and trainer.
Thanks to my experiences abroad, I have developed intercultural skills and learned various communication styles and business approaches. I have built a strong customer-focused approach, aiming to provide excellent support at each interaction, whether with external or internal counterparts.
Opting for a less traditional path, I consistently sought new challenges and growth opportunities by changing companies and taking on diverse projects. This approach allowed me to acquire diverse professional skills across different sectors and companies of varying sizes, each with unique processes and challenges.
Even before I knew it, I was already a freelancer at heart, navigating a path driven by a desire to learn and grow rather than following a traditional career ladder!
Beyond my professional career, I am committed to personal development and the pursuit of a meaningful life. My exploration includes energy healing techniques like Reiki or Reflexology, as well as impactful personal development tools such as affirmations, manifestation, and the law of attraction.
These practices have deeply transformed my work philosophy, and I am enthusiastic about sharing their benefits for enhanced stress management, empathy, increased productivity, and adaptability. They contribute to building customer loyalty, fostering a positive attitude, and ultimately supporting overall well-being.
My approach is anything but conventional, bringing innovative problem-solving to the workplace. I leverage my diverse experiences and an out-of-the-box mindset to navigate challenges and achieve positive outcomes.
What sets me apart is not just my professional expertise but also my dedication to fostering a mindset that values both professional success and personal fulfillment.
