Creating safe spaces for leaders to think, breathe, reflect
and prepare relevant & meaningful action & change 

Why is there a need for leadership inspiration & discipline?  

The original meaning of the word inspiration is "giving breath"; 
discipline means “craftsmanship” and "getting work done”.
I create a space for leader to breathe, reflect, develop and work on change.   


During years of experience in formal leadership positions, strategy design and organizational development, I have seen a consistent lack of leadership inspiration and discipline in organizations. Strategy design is happening in the boardroom or is delegated to consultants, coaching and people development is delegated to a performance management process and diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is delegated to HR functions. Leadership is associated with positions, not decisions and behavior. These tendencies result in fragmentation, disengagement and thoughtless routines.

My purpose is to connect and re-energize personal and collective inspiration, purpose and ambition, facilitate engagement and inspire relevant and meaningful change. I believe leaders make a big difference for the people around them and I want to make a contribution to leaders becoming an intentional force for good for the people around them.  

I work systemically on leadership, organizational, team and personal development. My approach is experiential, eclectic and dialogic: leadership coach, inspirator, advocate, dialogue facilitator and teacher. Many of my projects start by re-inspiring, reconfirming and simplifying a shared future ambition and purpose. With a clear and compelling purpose in mind, we co-design learning agendas and implementation intentions. The clarity and connectedness deriving from this co-creative process serves leaders and organizations to co-create meaningful dialogues, set challenging objectives and create relevant changes.
