I work at the intersection of:

• Philanthropic programming
• Inclusion
• The gender lens
• Social finance
  
• Tech for good
• Leadership Development

I love to create experiences and opportunities for people to think independently together about a common purpose, simultaneously growing futures-thinking skills, servant leadership, well-being, team collaboration, strategy and governance and unusual prospects.

Here are some examples of my work stories with individuals and groups in the social and environmental change ecosystem:

Story 1 – Empowering Stakeholder-Centric Innovation in Social Finance

Clients (selection): Women in Social Finance, The Social Investment Consultancy, Kering Foundation, The Equality Impact Investing Project.

To help philanthropic foundations, investors and angels understand their stakeholders better, and design more relevant support and finance programmes, I create a space where different parties brainstorm and co-create common visions and pathways.

I use a Thinking Environment™, incisive questions, rapid prototyping sessions, futures-thinking scenarios and story-telling methodologies to get the best creative and learning attitudes as well as robust critical thinking, out in the open.

I encourage teams to invite people to the design table, who are most likely to be affected by the issues they are attempting to solve. I also help them with sourcing these guests.

Using open innovation principles, my approach helps teams – and their guests, clients or people at the fringe of their network – to create a respectful, inclusive and insightful working space. I encourage clients to reflect on the way they perceive their work and help them make decisions collectively. Thet communicate their purpose, visions and goals differently.

Outcomes:

Clients gained innovative philanthropic programming insights and improve their strategy design.

Team members said they have developed their leadership skills, public speaking skills and ability to develop and share their message with users at the core.

Teams said they reconnected with their intrinsic values and purpose and feel better equipped to serve their service users.

Story 3 – Elevating Recruitment through Strategic Coaching and Analysis

Client: Laura Somoggi – Co CEO Womanity Foundation – Philanthropy

“Last year, I had the pleasure to work with Servane on a recruitment process for a critical role at Womanity. She was not only responsible for helping to shape the process but also for carrying the largest part of the workload – bringing a short list of candidates for the final stages.”

Outcomes: “She managed the process brilliantly from beginning to end with a clear understanding of the needs of the organisation and the profile we were looking for. Her years of experience as a coach brought another level of expertise which helped immensely. She worked as a critical thinker that was by my side and helped me to ask myself what was really needed and why. Also, her coaching approach helped me to go deeper in the analysis of the candidates vis-a-vis both mine and Womanity’s working styles.

I’d definitely work with Servane again not only as a recruiter but also as a coach and critical friend. Her ability for analysis, reading situations and asking the right questions can bring invaluable insights for different organisational processes.”

Story 5 – Catalyzing Global Impact in Violence Prevention Through Innovation and Partnerships

Clients: The Womanity Foundation, Abaad, Promundo, Luchadoras, SiempreVivas Collective, Association for Progressive Communications, VivaTech.

As Womanity Awards Program Director, I designed and implemented an award programme investing in an ecosystem preventing online violence against women (Mexico – Meso America), through the replication of innovative models and ideas, in other global settings. I also managed a previous award programme partnership on masculinities (US-Brazil-Lebanon);

My work consisted in providing award winners with ongoing innovation coaching, technical assistance, mentoring, campaigning and media strategy support; she engaged with current and new stakeholders to disseminate partners’ achievements and secured new opportunities for them through global corporate partnerships.
As a keen convener, I organised spaces for organisations to meet and learn from each other during global online and offline events with partners such as Global Tech Women, OECD, OuiShare, Hogan Lovells LLP, Women’s Forum.
I created the ICTforWomanity network, in order to leverage ICT, digital security, and media/tech production to prevent violence against women.

Outcomes:

• Participants gained further investment opportunities
• They increased technical business and communication skills
• They boosted their campaigning outreach, improved their message and brand outreach
• In addition, team members felt understood, seen, and able to participate fully.

Story 7 – Supporting innovators and impact leaders to think independently

Client: The Hive Consulting

“I was recently given the opportunity to take part in a workshop called ‘The Ten Components of the Thinking Environment’ with Servane. I wasn’t sure what to expect – I didn’t feel like I had any particular difficulties thinking, and questioned whether this was an effective use of my time.”

Outcome: I was wrong to doubt. What I experienced in the hour will have a lasting, positive impact – on me, those around me and the relationships I build in the future. This was fascinating, thought-provoking, engaging and good fun. Thank you Servane – I am truly grateful for everything you shared with us! ~Davina Bettie

“I have just spent some time working through my thoughts with the amazing Servane Mouazan. Such a wonderfully refreshing and grounding process. I highly recommend reaching out to her if there’s something that you are struggling to unravel or if you just need to filter out the muck to get some clarity. Glorious!  ~Gemma Aston
