True transformation begins with ourselves as leaders, challenging us to redefine business through purpose-driven leadership. Leadership is an individual evolutionary journey of consciousness where your thinking, actions, words, and even inactions significantly impact your ability to create results, influence and collaborate with those around you, including both human and planetary systems. Mastering leadership in today’s rapidly evolving world necessitates an upgrade to transformative leadership, equipped to handle volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) challenges of a world in metacrisis with resilience, systems awareness and presence. An organization can only become as conscious and thriving as the leader guiding the vision, the culture and the business.

This is where a trusted advisor proves to be an invaluable investment —not only for you as a leader and individual but also for the overall success of the business and the expanding circles of positive impact in collaboration with the local and global social and planetary systems surrounding you. A future steward comes to understand the nature of reality and perceives the root cause of social and planetary systemic issues, thereby restoring and regenerating living systems (Self, our own families, cultures, organizations, societies, ecosystems). I will accompany you on your evolutionary consciousness awakening journey, guiding you along a path of growth and self-discovery that I have walked before. This path leads towards self-mastery, transcendence of conditioning, and an epigenetic shift in thinking. While the extent of progress depends on your commitment and effort, my role is to provide invaluable insights and guidance as you cultivate your personal excellence and consciousness in leadership.

As your advisor, my goal is to guide you in transcending challenges through higher consciousness, fostering your growth as a leader and compassionate planetary future steward. I help you gain clarity, address challenges, and focus your efforts in alignment with your business strategy and the legacy you wish to create. Simultaneously, I guide you in overcoming barriers and unlearning limitations that may impede your progress towards a more liberated and conscious state. In this state, you can operate without pretenses or defenses, fully authentic, and engaged with life while experiencing a heightened state of awareness, mental clarity, and alignment with Source.

What you can expect from me

• Uncovering the root cause of business challenges. With strategic advice and systems awareness, our clients come to realize the challenge that has persisted over years, sometimes decades, might have a root somewhere else in the organization, or within their own blindspots and leadership. I help you identify and unearth the patterns and root causes of challenges, and subsequently strategicaly design transformation pathways through leadership and business design holistically and systematically.
• We are concrete and action focused. A challenge initially requires insight and understanding in order to uncover the pattern, and thus designing triggers for transformative solutions. I guide you in this process deliberately and with finesse as it requires the engagement of both dynamism, goals and doing (masculine principles) and sensing and insightful allowing, systems awareness (feminine principles). We help you train these capabilities in your own leadership. The new wave of successful future leaders require a balance of both, and often it is the feminine principles like navigating chaotic times and volatility, EQ emotional intelligence, relational networked organizing, creativity, and mindset flexibility that needs the most strengthening.
• Sustainable Development as a business opportunity and innovative driver. I have global and vast experience strategically creating and implementing sustainability strategies, and designing and advising on transforming cultures and businesses to advance with the business opportunity of integral sustainability. Our Leadership 1:1 focus is primarily focused on your development as a leader, and identifying the most impactful initiatives to unleash your experience of success, purpose and desired impact. Drawing upon my extensive experience in sustainability and living systems awareness, our sessions will focus on advancing your identified opportunities and mitigating risks for the business. Should you require a more comprehensive strategy or change process geared towards regeneration, our team of experts can collaborate with you to develop a tailored sustainable development plan.
• We are all human. Achieving a harmonious work-life balance is crucial for business success. Many of our clients carry significant responsibilities and often face isolation when making critical decisions. Having a trusted advisor to confide in, receive support and honest advice from is invaluable to our clients. Our commitment is to support you in your holistic leadership role – optimizing work performance, mental, emotional, and physical health, as well as life design – to help you perform at your highest potential.
• Presence, consciousness, resilience, grounding and leading from the emergent edges to navigate VUCA is increasingly of importance as a leader, navigating complex and ambiguous challenges in an uncertain environment where the planetary boundaries are breaking down, affecting weather patterns, work force movements, resource disruptions, pandemics, unrest, disease and the roots of a sound and stable business.
• Proactively change driven. You are either pushed by pain, or pulled by a purposeful vision. We help you move your mindset and actions from victim of a challenge, to creator of your vision to transcend the challenge. Embracing adaptability and change with humility and grace, is not easy, and we do this work together.
• Transformational literacy, multi-systemic living systems awareness and leading from the emergent future are skills best accessed and navigated through all your human intelligences, including body wisdom, intuition, inner seeing, inner knowing, capabilities that are increasingly accessible to you in direct relationship to your level of consciousness. The more you clear your internal blockages, unhealed shadows, trauma, the more conscious and free you become, the less illusion, and the more realistic you view life, challenges and other people.

Embracing a compassionate and distinctive method, I am your trusted guide in fostering self-awareness and inspiring concrete action that makes a difference to you today. As a dedicated challenger, I adeptly navigate your resistance with a balanced blend of empathy and tenacity, ensuring straightforward communication throughout our journey together. Unlike conventional consultants driven primarily by financial gain, resulting in masking and not expressing the sometimes tough truth, my unwavering commitment lies in cultivating your conscious growth, grounded in the pillars of integrity, honesty, and love. I pledge to impart the sometimes difficult truths others may shy away from, as I firmly believe that your evolution rests upon embracing these valuable insights. Together, we embark on a path of transformative growth, fostering resilience and illuminating the depths of your untapped capabilities.
