About the Human Shift
My Vocation : Humanizing Workplaces, One Leader at a Time
I'm Cristelle Bretnacher, the visionary behind The Human Shift, bringing nearly 15 years of in-depth experience from the financial sector, with a focus on HR and employment law. I've been at the forefront, representing Luxembourg banks in negotiations with trade unions at both national and European levels, and as an assessor at the national conciliation office. This rich background in corporate dynamics and leadership challenges is what underpins my coaching practice.
​
As an executive coach, I empower leaders and teams to embrace organisational change with resilience, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. I'm a firm believer that workplace happiness is a mutual responsibility, advocating for environments where both employers and employees can flourish through intentional transformation.

I am also a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner and hold multiple certifications from UC Berkeley in Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness, Resilience to Stress, and The Foundations of Happiness at Work.

Through my workshops and personalised coaching, I help professionals cultivate the skills needed to lead with purpose, manage stress effectively, and enhance communication.
