The Circle of Influential Women

Reveal the powerful woman you already are!

You've built something real. You were taught to perform, but no one taught you how to surround yourself, run a business, put yourself forward, or build a strategy to grow.

By Rym, founder of French Attitude, an international influence-marketing house.


Some women don't need more training: they need to be seen, guided and supported by the right people at the right time. Le Cercle de Sororité Influente is that place.

A premium, confidential and tailor-made mentoring programme, designed for ambitious women at a turning point in their professional life (career change, relaunch, repositioning), with the rigour, precision and transmission this moment deserves.


The reality

Too many talented women stay in the shadows.

You have the ideas, the vision, the talent. And yet, all too often, you watch others succeed faster and take the place that should be yours.

These obstacles aren't inevitable. With the right levers, they become opportunities.

Does this sound like you?

  • You hesitate to say your ambitions out loud.
  • You doubt your legitimacy, even when the results are there.
  • You hold back where you should be shining.
  • You still lack the network that would carry you to your true worth.
  • You keep putting off the decisions that truly matter.
Rym · Founder & president of French Attitude

The founder

I'm Rym.

I built French Attitude on my own, with no inherited network, no prestigious school, no manual. Just a vision, a high standard, and the ability to learn faster than the obstacles appeared.

I learned everything in the field, far more than the theory taught during my studies. For 16 years, this international influence-marketing and PR agency, based in Paris, has worked across the Americas, Europe and the GCC. It supports brands in gastronomy, sport, lifestyle and premium entertainment in their growth, their visibility and their international reach.

Developing international markets, negotiating with luxury houses, building a brand image, managing crises, positioning myself in fiercely competitive sectors: with no safety net, no mentor, often alone in the face of the most decisive choices. It is this path, built step by step, that gives all its value to what I pass on today. And it is precisely that solitude I decided to spare others.

Le Cercle de Sororité Influente was born from this conviction: ambitious women don't lack talent. They lack a space where their intelligence is recognised, their strategy refined, and their path guided by someone who has truly lived what they are going through.

I don't pass on a method. I pass on an experience: that of an entrepreneur who learned to position herself, grow her business, shine in sectors of excellence, and who now puts all of it at the service of women who refuse to stagnate and want to reconnect with their power.

My conviction

I do mentoring, not coaching.

A coach helps you find your own answers. A mentor passes on theirs, drawn from real experience: what they've seen work, what they've seen fail, the doors they took years to find. Sixteen years in the most demanding environments, that's what I bring to the women of The Circle.


The method

Three keys that change a trajectory.

01

Mutual support & network

Networking isn't a matter of luck or birth. It's a skill. I teach you to build strategic connections that create value both ways. Not surface-level networking: real relationships that open doors.

02

A business that truly works

Having an idea is a starting point. Knowing what to do with it, in what order, with what method, that's what makes the difference. Together we build or relaunch a concrete business: market research, a clear offer, a deployment strategy. Step by step.

03

Action

Procrastination isn't laziness. It's a lack of clarity and confidence. I give you the framework that makes action possible: a precise plan, an outside perspective, and the clear signal that you can go for it.


The programme

Le Cercle de Sororité Influente.

Far more than a programme. A real transformation experience, at the crossroads of influence strategy, leadership mentoring and authentic sisterhood.

  • A strategic networkActivated with intention and elegance, built over more than 16 years of collaborations.
  • A transformed mindsetThat turns your fears into a driving force, never a brake.

All within a caring yet demanding setting, surrounded by women who, like you, play to win.

After meeting Rym at a networking event, I followed my intuition: I felt she would carry me with her energy and her humanity, and that she saw what I couldn't see.

Our 3 months of work unfolded in 3 phases:

  • Knowing myself: What have I accomplished? What matters to me? Where do I want to go? What am I good at and, conversely, what am I missing to reach my goals? Sorting through my experiences, my values and my goals to cover my blind spots.
  • Working on my communication: for me, Rym's skills, particularly in influence marketing, were crucial to direct my communication towards the right people. Without judgement, and with a practical mind, Rym steered me towards the right tools, used simply and consciously.
  • Building a business: with stronger confidence in what I embody, and with communication that is now strategic, Rym taught me to build my business by initiating collaborations. I can now invest the right amount of time to reach prospects in a relevant way.

Thank you, Rym.

Former global marketing director of a Swiss haute horlogerie house, now founder of a new company in the longevity sector.

Circle Programme · 6 months

Rym didn't just support me: she gave me the legitimacy to believe in myself and to exist, at last, in my own name.

After 19 years leading international marketing for a Swiss haute horlogerie house, I left everything to go it alone in the world of longevity. On paper, I had the experience. In reality, I didn't know how to position myself, how to sell myself, or where to start to be taken seriously in a sector that was entirely new to me. And it was Rym, in fact, who helped me find where I wanted to go professionally.

Le Cercle de Sororité Influente gave me exactly what I needed: a very high-end positioning strategy designed for me, and access to a network that nineteen years in corporate life had never allowed me to build on my own. Rym opened doors I would never have reached by myself, and she did it with rare rigour and precision.

Today, my positioning is clear, my network has been transformed, and I am finally carrying a project that is entirely me. What I experienced with Rym isn't mentoring in the classic sense: it's an ally who believes in you before you even dare to believe in yourself.

Thank you, Rym, for your guidance, your listening, your humanity, and your presence at every moment.

At a time when I felt stuck in my business, Rym opened up my field of vision and helped me discover my true worth, my potential and all the possibilities that existed within me. Thanks to Rym, I began a deep process of inner healing that transformed not only my business, but my whole life.

Rym is the first woman I have met with so much authenticity, honesty, wisdom, intelligence and intuition. Being guided by Rym, letting myself be led by her vision and her teaching, has been a wonderful experience, and it continues to this day. I keep following all her advice with confidence and gratitude.

I recommend Rym 100% to all women, especially those going through periods of feeling stuck, of doubt or of difficulty. She has the precious gift of helping others open up a new perspective, to see what they don't yet perceive, both in themselves and in their lives.

After a year by her side, I can say with certainty that I am no longer the same person. My life has changed profoundly, my business has grown and keeps growing. Today, when I look in the mirror, I finally see the woman I always dreamed of being.

Rym is a woman who works not only with strategy and wisdom, but also with her soul and her heart. What struck me most about her is her tenacity, her discipline and her open-mindedness.

With her guidance, it becomes possible to reveal your potential, overcome your blocks and build a life fully aligned with your ambitions.

Thank you, Rym. Thank you for everything you pass on, for your light, your heart and your commitment. And thank you to the universe for placing her on my path!

Circle Programme · 3 months

Rym's guidance was a real turning point for me. She didn't just help me relaunch my business as a wellness practitioner; she also helped me regain my self-confidence and reclaim my place as an independent woman.

Thanks to her listening, her presence and her advice, I was able to reflect on the image I wanted to convey.

It wasn't only about my professional activity, but also about showcasing and honouring the person I am, the woman I am, and above all about regaining my freedom.

Today, I feel more fulfilled, more self-assured and fully legitimate in what I offer.

Thank you, Rym.

Camille M.

Political communications consultancy.

Circle Programme · 3 months

I spent twelve years in journalism, telling other people's stories, chasing the news, without ever really asking myself what I wanted to build. I was recognised in my field, but I felt increasingly constrained, as if I had hit an invisible ceiling, without knowing how to get past it.

Le Cercle de Sororité Influente gave me what I couldn't find anywhere else: a space where I wasn't asked to justify wanting to change my life, but where I was given concrete help to turn my expertise (writing, a sense of storytelling, my network) into an entrepreneurial project that is truly mine.

Rym isn't a “coach” who asks theoretical questions. She has lived entrepreneurship, she knows the field, and she gave me tools, contacts and a method. In just a few months, I laid the foundations of my communications consultancy, something I would never have dared to imagine possible on my own.

Today, I'm no longer searching. I'm moving forward.

Thank you, Rym, for your advice, your presence and your sincere listening.
