About me

Studies suggest that around six hours of an employee’s weekly working time is lost due to inefficient communication and collaboration. I co-founded a social enterprise where we sharpen skills in inclusive workshops. Contact me if you are looking for ways to unleash the potential of your meetings, campaigns and team.
I am a European coach and campaigner who has been amplifying voices of NGOs and green industries for a decade. My experience includes political campaigning, digital marketing and business development. I flourish with initiatives that aim to make our society more sustainable and inclusive. Contact me if you are looking for ways to boost collaboration, campaigns or communication.

My skills

  • Collaboration (co-creation, negotiation)
  • Campaigning (policy advice on sustainability and inclusion as well as marketing)
  • Communication (presentation and persuasive communication)

Why you should work with me

Each workshop aims to unleash potential with an approach that is tailored, dynamic and goal-driven. My two colleagues and I can hold sessions in multiple languages and prepare content to meet each group's needs. 75% of our sessions comprise interactive exercises with varying formats. Instead of following outdated lectures, each participant acquires modern tools used in the political as well as corporate world. As a social enterprise, we follow Kaufman’s five levels of evaluation. The goal is to enhance participants’ capabilities, job performance and societal benefits. We offer a follow-up after six months to make it stick.
