My purpose
Through my work, I aim to facilitate positive lasting change in service of the individual, the collective, the society and planet. By nurturing human potential and empowering agency, I enable professionals to generate new ideas, deliver practical solutions and get better results. At the same time, they gain deeper awareness and broader understanding, clarity, direction and drive.
What I do
I support and challenge business leaders and teams to translate new learning into purposeful action and tangible outcomes, while creating value for their stakeholders. With a different lens as an insider-outsider, I enable them to see more of their context from new perspectives, to better handle complexity and uncertainty, and to try out new ways of thinking, relating, acting and working.
How I work
My Structure & Flow approach combines clear contracting, processes, frameworks and commitment with flexibility, creativity, playful experimentation, joy and whatever’s emerging. It is collaborative and customised, systemic and relational, and practical too, addressing real challenges and opportunities. I provide calm, confidential spaces for fruitful dialogue, sense-making and co-inquiry.
Who I am
Openness, curiosity and diversity are important to me, which is why I’ve worked with a rich variety of enterprises and individuals from different backgrounds throughout my career. In Barcelona, I co-founded and ran a training and coaching company, later in Shanghai, for many years. Appreciating the beauty of nature and art, I enjoy spending time in the local Alps, walking and contemplating, or else in city art galleries and exhibitions.
