I clear the path to create impact that will move us all forward. To grow something big I start with a small seed.
I am passionate about the following:
- facilitating meaningful conversations
- enabling robust decision-making processes
- making purpose work for individuals, teams and organisations.
I get to know these topics like a new language, practice them with others and, with the emerging practice, enable people in different settings to work together in a way that includes everyone, generates joy, mutual understanding, and results that everyone supports.
What to expect
I am always new.
I generously radiate my energy.
Kindness will save us.
I experiment, play and live adventurously.
I think it possible that I may be mistaken.
I am in my center when I am in constantly changing roles, contexts and biotopes.
I create projects and relationships based on equality, inclusion and partnership.
pirate heart!
