My Story
I am on a mission to create happy and fulfilling work lives. We all deserve to feel passionate, joyful, and valued. I know from experience how difficult work life can be. Also, how wonderful life is when you thrive at work by being your best self, adding value and feeling appreciated.
While bringing out the best of me and of the people at my workplaces, I discovered my unique superpowers. They are listening, understanding, helicopter view and detailed analysis, supporting, mentoring, being authentic, and fostering great connection and collaboration. Whenever I got to combine those elements in my work and saw the results I could create, I felt truly happy.
Therefore, I’m now dedicated to guiding people on their journey to become empowered and inspired, to rediscover their inner potential, and to consciously choose for what truly matters to them. I also want to share the secrets from my magical personal and professional transformation. I moved from feeling stuck, drained, and miserable into new chapters, creating renewed positive energy, balance, motivation, impact, success, and happiness every day.
I wish for everyone to experience such bliss.
Be You, Be Happy!
What I focus on now
Personal coaching
As a coach I help individuals to become the leader of happiness, wellbeing and growth at work, as an employee, as a leader, or as an entrepreneur.
I leverage my personal transformation from a state of almost-burnout into a state of thriving, and I use my long experience as a leader and coach in the corporate world.
Together we create a magical transformation for you to get unstuck in your professional life. I guide you to become more self-aware, self-confident, energetic, and positive. I help you find your mission and to make bold choices that create the meaningful, purposeful, and happy work life that you deserve. I support you to do what feels true to you and to realize your dreams.
Teams and organizations
As a consultant and organizational coach with an integral and co-creative perspective, I help you drive change, transformation and organizational (re-)design, and to increase trust and connection between different functions, locations, levels, and cultures. Together with your teams I start from your mission, values, strategy & the needs of external and internal customers and employees.
Together we improve ways of working, communication, collaboration, engagement, quality & results. We make your company more efficient, effective, resilient, lean, agile, inclusive and a great place to work, while reaching goals and strategic objectives.
What shaped me the most
For many years I was blessed to work in environments that made me be the best and happiest version of me. Their purpose and culture aligned with mine: to make a difference for other people and to serve like I would love to be served, by giving it my best every day.
The companies I worked for supported their diverse teams to feel valued, connected, growing, and fulfilled. And I got to take part in many interesting innovative, transformational, and sometimes challenging complex projects.
However, twice in my career, I had to make a quite courageous move when I found myself stuck in a changed organization with a vision, structure and culture that was no longer aligned and true to my values. It made me feel drained and unhappy, and I would have burned out if I had not taken timely action to change.
My first big move, in 2005, was from a rather traditional service company into an innovative start-up environment with online services. Quite new and challenging for me at that time but very stimulating, rewarding and fulfilling. My second move was even bolder, from a high-paid job in an international corporate service company into becoming self-employed as coach and consultant.
That period was quite challenging but very transformational for me as a person and as a professional. I immersed myself in personal and professional development and I now feel extremely inspired, motivated, energized, meaningful and happy, helping others to create the transformation they are longing for.
Since I became my own boss, I’ve invested a lot in myself, and I still continue to expand my own growth with coaching, mentoring, and training.
I research and practice in the areas of coaching, growth mindset, leadership, communication, entrepreneurship, healthy balanced work-life integration, and finding your purpose, vision, and roadmap to realize your dreams.
I am trained and certified as a professional coach for individuals, teams, and organizations, and as an integral organization (re)designer who builds more self-organizing dream teams and supports successful and lasting transformation in different types of organizations, always with an eye for human impact.
