Summary

I support you and your team in your growth and change ambitions: _In workshops, team-building initiatives, and large-group formats, I activate dialogue, clarity, and shared decision-making—quickly, focused, and effectively.

_In participative strategy and organizational development, I work with you to shape relationships, structures, and routines that strengthen responsibility, learning, and collaboration, enabling you to achieve your goals more effectively together.

_In one-on-one coaching, I create spaces for self-reflection, changing attitudes and beliefs, and the courageous unfolding of potential in everyday (work) life.

For over 15 years, I’ve been working at the intersection of inner and outer worlds, people and systems, analysis and creativity, attitude and action, heart and mind, the tested and the new. I firmly believe that personal growth and systemic evolution go hand in hand.

My way of working: _I design creative spaces for growth where individuals and groups can unfold their potential. _I combine systemic coaching with design thinking and mindfulness. _I design processes that inspire people and drive change in systems. _I bring a sense of playful ease to complex transformations.

I accompany you and/or your organisation with: _Personal and collective growth toward greater fulfilment of values. _Participative strategy and culture development. _Nurturing creative, life-giving leadership. _Strengthening effective collaboration. _Navigating complex personal or collective change processes.
