The LAST Marketing Software You’ll Ever Need
The simple leadership toolbox built for leaders and teams who want to build more trust and support, and embrace innovation.
SO WHAT IS IT IN SHORT?
You're desperate to renew the good atmosphere in the team. You don't manage to lead efficiently. People are struggling feeling good, and so are you.
No more clenching your teeth trying to get heard & fighting to avoid burnout
If there's a disconnect in your team, if people are not working cohesively together, fix this first.
It is possible to stay on top of the game & embrace our human uniqueness. AI can't and won't replace that. And that makes the difference.
The essence of leadership is connection with yourself & with others. It's a return to being more human, not less.
Marie-Hélène will teach you how to build a safe liberating space within your team.
Here’s a glimpse of what you will get when you join a SOPRANO & HORSES retreat today.
Reconnect
You'll touch base with your self to grow your self-confidence. You'll discover your Happy Place. When's the last time you felt free to voice your ideas at the office? Why has it been so long?
Listen to be listened to
You'll learn to listen to yourself to then truly listen to others and trigger the chain reaction of others genuinely listening to you. Is listening not what's crucially missing at the office?
Feel safe
You'll feel safe to share within your team. Once the manager and the team both share without fearing to be judged, the magic happens. Feeling safe is liberating.
Unleash your potential
You'll be eventually feeling free. Free to bloom. Free to be the full version of yourself. Free to unleash your creativity.
Powered With Real Human Emotional Intelligence
Data suggests that being human creates more leverage in your team than tech, visio, and AI.
Here’s how working with Marie-Hélène is making a lasting impact and how you can leverage it with ease:
BENEFIT 1 Feeling truly self-confident again, so we can trust others. How can people trust us if we don't trust them? Yet how can anyone trust someone who doesn't feel self-confident?
BENEFIT 2 Leading with empathy brings the best team performance. Your team feels they matter. Once trust goes both ways, all members will feel safe to voice their ideas and your business will get a whole new start. Who can lead without being trusted?
BENEFIT 3 When you & your co-workers feel safe to unleash your ideas and have initiatives, the sky is the limit. You can eventually unleash your creativity. You now embrace your full potential. And so will your business. Who can take off with folded wings?
Soprano & Horses Give You Everything You Need To Start Afresh.
Both a soprano and an intercultural communications expert, Marie-Hélène leads you to discover your voice, and accompanies you throughout that self-awareness journey, leading to the most outstanding results in mental health, team management and creative thinking.
What about a unique seminar with a classical singer coaching you on stress management, listening, empathetic leadership and lateral thinking, with a once-in-a-lifetime experience with horses?
You Can Stop Tiptoeing
No more half-day online workshops. Our retreat is 3 days onsite. Time is key to dive & dig & rebuild. Marie-Hélène takes you out of your stressful corporate environment. She teaches you all about efficient stress management techniques thanks to her operatic background. She works with each of you on posture, physical and psychological.
You'll also discover your voice, one you never heard. And with horses, she helps you to genuinely listen. Add lateral thinking to all that and you'll embrace a lifetime change to truly take off and bloom.
The retreat mixes junior and senior professionals & includes maximum 6 participants. You'll spend half a day with horses experimenting equi-coaching. That is video-recorded to better leverage the experience.
THIS IS WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
Former participants keep writing about how much they still use Marie-Hélène's toolbox years down the road.
300+ positively changed lives over 10 years
This self-awareness journey has definitively changed my life and I could not be more grateful.
The first time we met Ms Cussac, I didn’t really understand what was happening to me. But retrospectively, this experience was inestimable.
I step out of it having grown and learned more that I even realize.
I must admit that at first, I was slightly skeptical about this seminar, though now I strongly believe that it should be mandatory.
Did MHC guide us in our own path to our own self, a more self-aware, powerful and conscious self? Yes, for sure. How? I don’t know. I would suggest by making us feel, think and write.
Il s’agit pour moi d’un séminaire innovant et efficace pour guider et soutenir le changement personnel et global.

Marie-Hélène Cussac
Since 2016, Marie-Hélène has been sharing her singing techniques to guide you on a journey of self-discovery through your voice, leading to remarkable improvements in public speaking, leadership, and creative thinking.
Lead to Unleash Creativity is her SOPRANO & HORSES world-leading seminar.
Both a classical singer and a communications expert in international organisations, Marie-Hélène is the inventor of a unique method leading people be heard, develop empathetic leadership, and unleash their own—and their team’s—creativity.
Trained as a pianist, then as a choral conductor and lyrical soprano, while studying European politics at the College of Europe, she worked in European affairs in Brussels for 10 years.
In 2022, she launched SOPRANO & HORSES, integrating equine assisted coaching (equicoaching) to enhance listening and team management skills.
Marie-Hélène Cussac has lived in the US, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Ireland, and Northern Ireland, while also conducting missions worldwide.
STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
Just in case you're wondering...
Shall I ride a horse?
No stress! No need to ride to do the exercises. No prior horse-riding experience is necessary.
Which language do we speak?
You speak English or French, according to how you feel on the spur of the moment. What is important is to feel comfortable to speak. Sometimes, we constantly switch languages. If all participants however wish to opt for one of the two languages, it is fine too. Language is therefore not to worry about.
What should I pack/bring?
Corporate outfits are not necessarily needed since the experience is taking place in pretty much the French version of the Highlands – or in seaside Deauville. Take outfits in which you will feel comfy and warm.
Re the day with horses, take a pair of boots (or good trainers) in case the field is wet & an old jacket, just in case you get a horse hug (!)
For our last dinner, enjoy a casual chic note.
