WHAT ABOUT MY VALUES?
WHAT IS CRUCIAL TO ME?
Referencing to best practices and data, in a pragmatic way. Founder mindset.
I care a lot about working in a pragmatic, efficient, problem-solving way. In trainings and sessions of facilitation, when we look at (international) research and concepts, we’ll embrace simplicity and implementability. In coaching sessions, we’ll dive into previous successes and best practices of our own and we’ll learn from real-life experiences of successful people walking the talk and leading by example.
Learning by doing and by daring greatly.
“You don’t learn by following rules. You learn by doing and by falling over”, Richard Branson once said. Growing from successes and mistakes through practice and exchange, is something that I care about a lot in trainings, in moments of intervision and in sessions with teams, therefore. We alternate moments of interaction with moments of info-sharing and self-reflection, to have an excellent atmosphere for growth.
Joy and connection!
I truly believe people – myself included – learn best in a positive context. Us humans thrive when we experience flow, joy and connection. Inspired by the worldwide renowned approach of solution focused brief therapy, you can count on me to encourage feelings of flow and connection.
How about my experience, certificates, credentials?
Experienced by growing up in family-business-context, by leading my own organisation and by learning non-stop, I do what I can to expose the better version of yourself and of your team. The past years, I have grown a lot too thanks to (ICF-accredited) trainings, thanks to daily contact with leaders and thanks to doing, daring and also failing greatly.
