My life, personal and professional, has shown itself to be about continuously developing and maturing as a person, and contribute as well as I can to other people, society and the biosphere.
If I can be of service in your or other people’s development, I’d be delighted to get involved. With the enterprises I have co-created, through my services and with the contemplations on my blog or in my social channels.
Services.
Are you embarking on an important and challenging initiative? Or struggling with one that isn’t delivering? Most change and development efforts fall short of intentions, or fail. With my help you can improve your chances of succeeding.
Capabilities
I’m really good at getting difficult, challenging and innovative initiatives up and going. My approach is systemic and offers space for emergence. I’m good at holding uncertainty and working in social processes. I poke firmly but friendly at limiting beliefs and behaviours and contribute to a safe culture that invites openness and risk-taking. My involvement is high, yet I remain unattached to the process and outcomes. When I eventually phase out I have secured a sustainable continuation of the initiative.
The essence of my work is a knack for connecting people and ideas in ways that:
- shifts awareness and accountability from the parts towards the whole
- fosters stewardship and purpose over self interest and fear
- empowers people and organisations to develop themselves and exercise their judgement
- serves the beauty and complexity of life and explores new directions and possibilities
Experience
Since 1993 I have evolved a practice that guides and supports individuals, teams and organisations with their development initiatives and processes. I have a broad business background and have worked for roughly 30 years in +100 organisations in all sectors and sizes. My experience includes process design, strategy, co-creation, facilitation and guidance in the domains of leadership, entrepreneurship, management and organisational development. Over the years I have also started several small businesses and social enterprises.
Profile
Life, people, processes and systems are my thing. At heart I’m a curious and systemically oriented generalist. I explore, learn and apply. My life is dedicated to service beyond myself. I get energy from emergent processes, connecting with wise people, inducing perspectives and ideas, and holding space for challenging conversations. I’m said to be reliable, flexible and creative, but also values-centred and principled. I have an extensive wellbeing practice that includes meditation, qigong and time in nature.
Say hi!
I’d love to hear what you are working on and explore if I can be of service.
