It started with an Overwhelmed Boss out of Control
My journey for my own career development and for my career as a Learning & Development expert began years ago, when I was working in Berlin. I had always wanted to work abroad and make my career outside the US. I had the chance to work for a small German company in their sales department and help them expand their international accounts. But it wasn’t always easy. I had the most emotional boss who would yell at people, and I unfortunately didn’t escape his temper. One night, before a big trade show, I was still in the building when he came tearing into the shared office I had with other colleagues. He wanted some copies made immediately, so I started making them, but for some reason, it wasn’t right. He grabbed the thick pile of papers out of my hand, stuffed them into the copier and hit the start button… at which point the entire copier jammed and revolted. He was so hopping mad, red-faced, and terribly upset. Then he yelled at me, “Are you stupid, or what?!?!” Then it hit me. I didn’t have to put up with this. |
At that point I realised “there must be a better way. I don’t have to put up with this. If the world is truly globalising, then managers need to be better at dealing with their people, no matter where they’re from”.
Since then, I have made it my mission to help leaders be better leaders, and especially in a global environment. I want to help companies set up fair, transparent people processes that help people know what their job is, help them do it effectively, and set them up for success. As our world and are work become more global, more interconnected, the human relationships are more important than ever to ensure we all are included and treated fairly.
Don't we all want that?
Supporting professionals and leaders around the world
My journey to where I am today, helping professionals, new leaders, and executives, has taken a long time and taken me around the world. Since that moment at the copy machine, I went on to get my MBA in International Management and have worked in Global-500 companies in their HR and Learning and Development teams. I’ve learned from great mentors in corporates, academia, and private practice about what it takes to develop world-class leaders in the 21st century.
I worked in companies in Europe, US, and Asia in their internal training and management development teams, developing upcoming leaders, their teams and organisations. I particularly enjoyed working with individual managers, whether a first-time leader or experienced executives.
Word got out about what I do. Friends started asking me for advice. And they started telling their friends. They asked me about how to make the most out of their career, how to make the transition into a new job, how to get a promotion, and how to negotiate the best way to that dream job.
I realised that this experience, together with the insights and passion, are a powerful combination that serves to help others. When I worked with people, they would see that I am The I see the value that others get from what I am able to offer them, and that in itself is a great gift.
With every step I worked with professionals and leaders like you and helped them discover what makes them tick and be successful in our dynamic, interconnected world. Together, we see that there are better ways of dealing with tough situations, stress. There are better ways to plan your time and interact with your team, than what I experienced at that copier back in Berlin.
A new way of working
Today, I help men and women to advance their careers, at home or abroad. Each interaction is a treat and a chance to help them discover their next great adventure or achievement.
Along the way, I practiced what I preached and got additional training to deepen my expertise:
* ICF-certified coach with the Neuro-Leadership Institute
* 2-year certificate in Systemic Organization Consulting and Change Management
* NLP-Master practitioner and Hypnotherapy
* licenses in a variety of personality profiles such as MBTI, Insights Discovery and FIRO-B.
