More about my areas of expertise
My approach
For years, I have been passionate about supporting leaders, teams, and organizations in developing and realizing their goals and visions internationally.
My approach is situational and integrative, making visible and expanding the scope of action in which leaders, teams, and organizations move and grow. This helps you reach a clear sense of inner alignment, act with focus and effect lasting changes for yourself, your team, and your organization.
My comprehensive and diverse range of experience includes 12 years in leading HR positions, among them Head of HR Development in an international professional services firm.
Incorporating both the heart and the mind, I get to the core of things and connect the big picture with tangible next steps. My uncanny sense for opportunities and potentials even in the most difficult situations will support you in finding creative solutions.

What are organic strategies?
Organic strategies emerge from the core of an issue. That’s why in my work with you I focus on finding the original idea the seed of whatever issue you bring to the table. Once that core is understood, next steps and effective strategies emerge as if by themselves, organically!
