If you like to know even more about me
The majority of my professional career has taken place in the corporate world. My great passion has always been diversity and inclusion. In corporate jargon, the discipline is now widely known as Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI for short). In everything I do, I am committed to creating a trusting environment where everyone can feel safe to contribute with their unique strengths.
Since 2016 I have started my journey as a coach. I started my training at Erickson Coaching International in Vancouver, Canada as a Solution Focused Coach. This was followed by my certification as a Lead True Model (SM) Coach through Tiara International (USA & NL) and a one-year training in psychological basics from German psychology study contents through ComCare, Germany. As the topic of resilience is of particular importance to me, I also obtained further certification in this area through the Academy for Health & Sports.
My participation in a personal development program as a Global Change Maker in the Shakti Leadership Program has also had a great influence on my thinking. This particularly addresses my interest in gender diversity, which will also continue to be with me throughout my life. This has also given rise to the importance of Conscious Capitalism, according to which we should not only pursue economic interests in all solutions, but also think of the interests of all stakeholders and the environment.
Since 2022 I have been deepening my knowledge of working with trauma. In no way can I or do I want to replace the important work of trained psychologists. For a good coach, however, I see it as particularly important to be able to draw clear boundaries. For this I have to be able to see them.
The knowledge I have gained through my qualifications and the experiences from my personal life story is something I would like to share and pass on, helping us to make healthy decisions that make us and the world a little better.
By a huge coincidence, I came across NeuroGraphika® in March 2024, which immediately fascinated me and now perfectly complements my portfolio. We all have creativity within us, but most of us haven't lived it out since childhood. It's definitely time to change that.
I look forward hearing from you!
Clear. Inclusive. Deep.
