About me
I am a seasoned executive with over 30 years’ experience in an international working environment, thereof more than 25 years in management positions. I am very familiar with the challenges presented to managers and employees, by globalization and difficult economic frameworks.
Cost cuttings, re-structuring, strategic re-orientation, working in teams spread out globally across different time zones and with different cultural backgrounds and value systems were part of my every day work. Same as finding a healthy balance between the daily struggles of private and professional demands and managing my own resources.
Motivation
What I repeatedly experience as both a challenge and an enrichment, is working with people in all their diversity, their different motivations, and their different cultural beliefs. To be successful as an individual and as a team, it is essential to develop solutions that respects the needs of the individual and those of the team / organization.
Coaching has been a part of my life for more than 20 years. First as being coached, then as a coach myself. My own experience as someone being coached, and seeing what can be achieved with mindful and resource oriented coaching, is my motivation to coaching others.
I am an active volunteer in the hospice service, accompanying the dying and their loved ones on part of their journey through life. I find it very rewarding. But I also see how difficult it is for many people to deal well with the dying and their relatives. What doesn't work in the private sphere doesn't work in the professional sphere either. As there are both interpersonal and business aspects to consider, it is important to me to use my expertise to help develop solutions that benefit bereaved people and employers alike.
