The times are changing;
ensure your leadership is too
I create safe learning/working environments for individuals and teams to breathe and connect deeper with their values and dreams, and achieve their goals. I understand the power of meaningful shared experiences.
I take a holistic and creative approach to organisational and communicational challenges. This means staying close to the fundamentals, while keeping a bigger picture in mind. Facilitating change processes and working with future thinking, means working with the body, the intelligence and intuition of the whole team.
My approach is of working with everything that’s in the room. Recognising undercurrents and group dynamics and creating an environment to create, learn and expand the possible. I work with stories and (core) narratives and help opening them up. Answers emerge from within the system, and in the interaction between people.
I create a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere that shifts perspectives, patterns, and mindframes in a generative learning space. Together with the Open Up team of skilled assistants, I bring care for experiencing meaningful experiences together that transform and where qualities essential for future-ready leadership become alive.
