About Sophie Litt

Expert in professional transitions
and return to work

sophie-litt

My name is Sophie Litt. I’m a mother, a stepmother, a corporate trainer, a certified coach and the creator of the podcast GAP de parents.

After more than 10 years as a corporate manager, I chose to support people facing major transitions in their professional lives.

My new career path began with supporting parents, and more specifically women, as they returned to work after maternity or parental leave.

For several years, I supported these returns to work, observing the challenges and questions involved, as well as the adjustments required for both the individuals returning to work and the organisations they work for.

This experience allowed me to develop valuable expertise in the areas of long-term absences and professional transitions.

Because behind every return to work lies a human reality.

A birth, but also an illness, burnout, a disability, a caregiving role or any other life event can profoundly change a person.

Over time, my perspective broadened.

I realised that the challenges faced when returning from parental leave were often the same as those experienced during other types of absence:

a loss of bearings, shifting priorities, a need for support, reintegration into a team or adapting to a new reality.

Today, I support organisations, managers and employees in creating returns to work that are more humane, sustainable and reassuring.

Because returning to work isn’t about becoming the person you were before.

What clients say about me

Sophie is caring and never judged anything I shared with her. She knows how to create that “safe place” that makes you want to speak freely, which matters even more in a professional context where I’m not used to discussing such personal subjects. Pauline
What I loved about Sophie:
– Her listening
– Her availability
– Her genuine care for the person in front of her. Astrid
Sophie is an empathetic person. She listens closely and stays completely neutral. I never once felt judged. She’s open to everyone’s life choices and doesn’t try to promote any particular way of organizing life. I felt completely safe throughout the coaching sessions. Julie
Sophie is a warm coach who’s easy to open up to. A great listener, she takes a genuine interest in our situation, asks the right questions, and helps us put frameworks in place to improve our daily lives. L.
Attentive listening, never interrupts, and adapts the conversation to what the person wants to share. With Sophie, you never feel like you’re getting a “canned speech.” Lilia
What impressed me most about Sophie is her authenticity. She shows great transparency in her interactions, which creates an environment of trust and respect. Her capacity for empathy is remarkable: she knows how to listen and understand others’ emotions, which helps people open up. She encourages dialogue and reflection, which contributes to real self-work and, above all, to becoming aware of it. Samim
I was amazed by Sophie’s kindness, her attentiveness, and her ability to create an atmosphere of trust for discussing very personal topics, even though we had never met before. Elena

On the other side of the microphone

I had the pleasure of stepping onto the other side of the microphone for Marlyne Matheis’s podcast “Métro Boulot Finito” for a real talk about work, parenthood and those life transitions that profoundly change our relationship with the world of work.

I also share my own journey there and the experiences that gradually led me to a firm conviction: you never come back to work quite the same person after an extended absence.

Maternity or parental leave, illness, burnout… We talk about how these periods transform people, but also about organizations’ responsibility in how they welcome people back. Because simply supporting the individual alone without questioning their environment, working conditions, or management isn’t enough.

We also talk about performance, presenteeism, boundaries, management, and a question that runs through the whole episode: how can we change the world of work so that it takes greater account of the human reality of those who bring it to life?

My conviction

Because behind every absence, every return to work and every professional transition, there’s a human reality.

A birth, an illness, burnout, a disability, a caregiving role, or a life changing event can truly transform a person’s life.

Yet these periods are often met with lack of preparation and insufficient support.

I’m convinced that a successful return to work doesn’t rely solely on how work is organized.

It also depends on listening, recognising the person’s experience, taking into account what they have been through and the ability to support the change in the right way.

Because reintegration is not just about returning to one’s job. It is about finding one’s place within a team and an organisation that recognises that the person returning is no longer quite the same as before.

This is the conviction that now guides all of my coaching, workshops, and talks.
