About Me

Hello and welcome! I’m Jan Yves Remy and I created this space to share my professional journey — and to connect with those who care about building a more sustainable, inclusive, and human-centered world.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of international trade, law, and policy, starting out in dispute settlement and litigation and evolving into work on sustainability, climate, and advocacy for marginalized communities and countries — especially Small Island Developing States. I see my role as an advocate and bridge-builder, helping amplify voices that are too often left out of global decision-making.

Along the way, I’ve learned the power of human connection and networks, which continues to inspire me in my writing, my work, and my collaborations.

This site is also where I offer my coaching services — something deeply personal to me. At a pivotal point in my own career, coaching helped me align my values with my purpose. As a Certified Co-Active Coach, I now help individuals and organizations do the same: unlock authenticity, empowerment, and impact.

Feel free to explore, read, connect — and let’s see what we can build together.

Coaching for Every Chapter of Your Journey

I’m a Certified Co-Active Coach, here to help you lead, live, and work with authenticity, purpose, and impact.

My own journey has taken many twists and turns — across continents, sectors, and roles — and I know just how challenging it can feel to navigate change in a rapidly shifting world while staying true to your own purpose and goals. That’s why I create space for you to pause, reflect, and realign with what really matters to you.

Whether you’re just starting your career, at a mid-life crossroads, or envisioning a meaningful next chapter, I help you find the clarity, confidence, and tools to move forward with intention.

I’ve coached people at every stage: young persons and/or graduates exploring their path and calling, mid-career professionals reassessing priorities and direction and seasoned experts crafting their legacy or beginning anew.

My coaching goes beyond goals and plans — it’s about uncovering your deeper why, aligning with your values, and charting your own path to fulfillment.

Testimonials by my Coached Clients

The single most impactful decision I made in 2023 was beginning my coaching journey with Coach Jan. The sessions, the tools I have acquired and the insights into myself that I have gained will serve me for a lifetime - both personally and professionally.When I started my coaching journey with Jan, I was feeling lost, stuck and generally unsure of whether I was on the right path professionally. Today, I’m well-equipped with tools to identify, tap into and channel my fears. I’m a better person and professional.

Coaching with Coach Jan has been a transformative journey for me, enhancing my communication skills in both personal relationships and professional interactions. Jan’s unique perspective has granted me an innovative approach to tackle challenging situations, profoundly improving my work ethic. This journey has not only elevated my professional performance but also enriched my personal connections, making me more effective and empathetic in every aspect of my life.

Christopher Richards
Former Graduate Student

Working with Jan Yves Remy as my retirement coach has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. At the beginning of this journey, I carried with me deep insecurities and self-doubt — feelings I had long managed to keep hidden behind a professional identity. Jan Yves created a safe, non-judgmental space that allowed me to finally bring those fears to the surface and begin healing them. This coaching has given me not just clarity, but hope. It has allowed me to step into this new chapter with strength, joy, and purpose.
