What I do
The world is full of ambiguity and chaos. There is no shortage of knowledge but a lack of leadership ability to thrive in this world. Leadership is about mental and emotional development, about courage and vision. I support executives, managers and upcoming high potentials as they navigate the challenges that they face, whatever those may be. These can be questions about what’s best for their organization to thrive in the long term, or what is best for them as individuals to develop their leadership abilities and master the environment in which they move. As things change around us, we are challenged to respond and move forward.
The goal of our work together is to leave you better equipped to resolve the challenges you face, to move forward with new clarity and motivation.

All of us live within a web of relationships. Everything that we do is shaped by relationships and systemic forces. , This reality can be uncomfortable for some people, but in my experience, embracing this mindset is much more productive than resisting it! whether we acknowledge this dimension of reality or not.
After all, our bodies are a system (made up of other smaller systems); we are born into a family system; we join and leave other systems in the form of educational institutions when we’re young, and as adults we step into the systems that make up the from school onwards and in the world of work.
The benefit of this wider lens is that our work does not shy away from the complexities of navigating challenging moments or situations with nuance and compassion is rooted in actual reality and coaching is not reduced to a Rather than trying to “fixing” a client’s individual of the “weaknesses,” this approach creates the space necessary to meet the challenge at hand with growth and development. of the individual but an opportunity to develop and grow with the challenge being faced.

Wicked problems are characterized by high levels of behavioral complexity which is characterized by deep conflicts in our assumptions, opinions, beliefs and perspectives.
Under conditions of high behavioral complexity, it is difficult to get people to agree on what should be done because they see the world differently and because they have different preferences and goals. Each problem we encounter is essentially unique with no real definitive statement of the
problem and is framed in vague ambiguity. Wicked is the space where we work. We all bring our learned behavioral patterns, beliefs, fears and opinions into this complex, interactive world in which we need to make sense of our internal and external world to choose our way forward.
