Leading for Future Shaping
Coaching Executives Who Want to Create Generative Growth and Transform Their Business on a Whole New Level!
Such integrative development means intentional contribution to shape the evolving culture and the structures of the organization and mindfully being shaped by them. Next to contribution with thought leadership the most challenging part for the leaders and managers is to create conditions for the inner wisdom of the organisation to emerge and unfold. Knowing how to use best practices not as recipes, but as catalysts of new ways of going to the future, leaders and managers gauge curiosity and desire for participation and ownership in creating the future of a team, of a business. Never has an organisation blossomed from imposed structures and models – instead it has flourished from upgraded consciousness on the imperative for change.
Who Am I?
I help organizations to lead and implement transformational change and create the workforce and the workplace of the future. A firm believer that business leaders hold the potential of changing the game of their business and the stories of their organizations, I have made it my mission to help grow a conscious leader in each game changer. Through my work i strive to nudge everyone to take up the leadership mantel and lead themselves if they want to excel and be part of a future where disruption is the norm.
Leading a business to thrive in disruption and be first to the future is very demanding and, at times, exhausting and depleting. Working for top leaders on challenging missions, I figured out the strategies that unusual leaders deployed to convert their Vision and drive into unique outcomes or to fail it all. I’ve synthesized these experiences into learnings and growth strategies that can be practically employed by anyone who intends to make a genuine contribution and leave a positive trace.
Applied by myself in critical professional and life decisions, they made an invaluable difference. Applied by my clients pursuing bold and visionary goals, these growth strategies set in motion mindset shifts helping them succeed in their mission and stay on the top of their game.
