What Sets Me Apart

With three decades of first-hand experience in business management, I deeply understand the challenges you face. I don’t just empathize with your situation—I’ve lived it.

​

I quickly zoom in on the core issues that matter most, using an intuitive approach to guide you through challenges. By asking questions, I help you uncover insights that lead to meaningful changes. I speak the language of both personal growth and corporate systems, blending emotional sensibility with practical understanding.

I integrate a system-psychodynamic approach, exploring unconscious dynamics and hidden forces that drive behavior, and combine it with my practice of Buddhism. These philosophies resonnate deeply with each other, both emphasizing mindfulness, acceptance of uncertainty, and responding without preconceived judgments, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your environment, with lasting insights that continue to guide you over time.​

​

Having lived and worked in both Eastern and the Western world, I understand the complexities of cross-cultural dynamics and the questions that arise when navigating different cultural terrains. This global perspective enriches my coaching, allowing me to offer nuanced insights into how cultural influences shape your behavior, decisions, and leadership.

​

Having navigated both corporate and personal relationships on the global lanscape, I offer coaching that’s grounded in real-world experience, helping you reach your own insight and personal tools to navigate your path.​
