About the Host
Your team is going away for a day. The agenda is full. The conversation the team most needs to have is missing from it.
I facilitate that conversation. My work is the human side of growth: the point where the business has moved on and the way people lead, decide and work together has stayed where it was.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ROOM
People work on their own real situations. The conversation they keep postponing. The decision that never holds after the meeting. The tension everyone feels and nobody names. They practise, get feedback and try again.
WHERE WE CAN START
• Leadership and manager development: for managers who have the title and are still growing into the role. Feedback, leading through change, coaching skills for managers.
• Team effectiveness and connection: trust, conflict, and decisions the whole team stands behind.
• Pitch and communication: for founders and leaders who need to stand up and say it clearly.
Sessions run from 90 minutes to a half or full day. Programmes are shaped after a briefing with you.
HOW I DESIGN A SESSION
I build workshops and learning programmes on experiential learning and adult learning principles. Adults learn by doing something, reflecting on what happened and trying again, so most of the time goes to practice on real cases. Theory comes in short doses, where it helps.
Every session is designed for behaviour change. A good day in the room counts for little if nothing is different on Monday. Each person leaves with one specific thing they will do differently, and you receive follow-up suggestions to keep it going in the team.
The content draws on systemic coaching, polarity thinking, transactional analysis and somatic awareness.
MY BACKGROUND
15+ years, starting in strategy consulting and organisational transformation and moving steadily closer to the people doing the work. Doctorate in Business Administration (Université Côte d'Azur) and MBA (University of Southern Queensland). Certified facilitator (AJ&Smart) and certified coach (Murphy & Bishop).
I coach speakers at TEDxAmsterdam, have facilitated the Leading with Heart circles at THNK School of Leadership, given guest lectures at business schools and universities, mentor at Female Ventures, and ran a main-stage pitch workshop for 500+ builders at MEGATHON.
I also coach professional women one-to-one through The Work of Living, a three-month programme.
Travel Locations
I’m easily available for in-person workshops across Europe. For other continents, I’m open to travel and happy to discuss logistics and arrangements as opportunities arise.
I occasionally have availability on weekends, and I’m happy to discuss this on a case-by-case basis depending on the request.
Client Requirements
Clients are expected to provide a quiet, suitable venue. Additional materials or setup may be needed depending on the workshop topic—this can be discussed in advance per case
