I coach at the cutting edge of where neuroscience meets inner wisdom ...

... by igniting the malleability of the brain and providing effective and practical neuroscientific tools and strategies for rapid and profound change.

I don't only coach on the level of the conscious mind. Because whilst the conscious mind may be our goal setter, it's the unconscious mind that's our goal getter. It's in coaching the unconscious mind that I uncover any inner resistance and misalignment holding leaders back. My unique approach helps leaders reach their highest potential whilst simultaneously connecting to their full humanity and the full humanity of all those around them. This is workplace thriving.

I want to make wise compassion in the workplace mainstream, and ensure that our leaders actually lead the way, doing hard things in a human way and fuelling compassion contagion throughout a company culture.
