Je suis Florence Glouche, coach en réalisation de soi et énergéticienne.
J’accompagne les professionnels conscients à quitter les schémas qui les épuisent pour retrouver un job — et une vie — alignés à qui ils sont vraiment.

J’ai moi-même occupé des postes à responsabilités où je me suis éteinte à petit feu. Cette traversée m’a poussée à créer une méthode unique : libérer le subconscient, écouter le corps, nettoyer les blessures… et faire émerger un projet professionnel de cœur, aligné à qui l’on est vraiment.

Ma signature, c’est de relier l’invisible et le concret, l’intuition et le rationnel, pour activer des transformations profondes, rapides et durables.

Aujourd’hui, je guide celles et ceux qui veulent s’épanouir, se choisir et laisser une trace positive dans le monde — avec authenticité, impact et paix intérieure.
"Les pieds sur terre. Le cœur dans les étoiles."

I have been a successful Deputy Chief of Police, State Representative, serial entrepreneur, COO, consultant, and am presently the CEO of a non-profit business. So basically, I've led everything but a conga line (though I not ruling it out).

I describe myself as the kind of leader who’s learned the hard way, laughed through the mess, and lived to tell the story—with a microphone in hand.

From the board room to the back alley, break room to the ballot box, my unique perspective and track record of success speak to my leadership style which is as practical as it is punchy.

I challenge audiences with thought provoking, engaging, and energetic presentations that leave attendees feeling empowered and enlightened reminding them that "Excellence lives in the area where most people fear to tread." Session titles like, "Tech Creep and the Chaos of Convenience" and "You can't Google what you don't know...you don't know," create interest and audiences are traditionally more engaged and enthusiastic.

If you are looking for a dynamic, insightful, thought-provoking speaker, I would like to be your choice.

Thank you for your time reviewing my fit for your event and if you need additional information you can find it at TCClements.net.

With close to three decades of experience in the software industry, I've dedicated my career to transforming how large companies approach software development. On my journey I’ve worked with tech giants like Microsoft, Mercedes, Roche, and Philips, where I've deployed my expertise in software excellence and DevOps.

My passion is empowering C-level executives and engineering leaders to drive meaningful change within their organizations by helping identify bottlenecks and gain transformative visibility into their software development lifecycle. It’s always what you can’t see that holds you back, and that’s exactly where traditional Agile methodologies fail short.

This widespread lack of visibility into the bottlenecks in the development process affects countless enterprises, which is why I developed the BetterSoftware Excellence Framework—to drive revolutionary efficiency in software development. Its unparalleled, unified ranking system allows organizations to dramatically optimize software improvement and drive long-term growth.

A testament to the BetterSoftware Excellence framework is when I built the first ever Software Center of Excellence for Royal Philips. The framework not only helped the organization map its current standing but also guided a three-year plan for continual improvement, setting professional improvement goals for every employee. It became the long-term method of software management at the company.

After I got Philips on track, I went on to become the Head of Software Transformation at Aptiv. By employing the framework throughout the company, I set standards and plans that guided more than 3,000 software engineers, helping position Aptiv as a leader in the automotive software industry.

My professional ethos is simple: software excellence is not just about better code—it must start with a complete understanding of the software development lifecycle from end-to-end. Once you can measure the effectiveness of every step in your development process throughout every department in your organization, you will know how to take action. The insights that come from totalized end-to-end measurement pinpoints where to invest and where to optimize. This clarity allows for better tools, better processes, better teams, and ultimately better businesses.

Learn more about what BetterSoftware can do for your company with our short video: https://bit.ly/3Dz51MC.

Let’s connect! I look forward to exploring how we can get your software development process on track for long-term success.
