MY Work

I'm a Strengths Coach and group facilitator specializing in helping people to have meaningful lives and thriving careers.I started coaching in 2016 after noticing a gap in how we make career decisions. Later I expanded to major life transitions such as becoming an expat.Changes are part of life, we change careers, priorities, and even countries or cultures. Navigating those transitions is a challenge, and we'll use your strengths and dreams as a lighthouse to help you redefine goals for a fulfilling life and career.After coaching 400+ people in different stages of their lives, across industries and geographies, I've developed a method to help you do exactly that.I can give you an overview of my work style, usual tools and methodology on a quick call, just schedule some time on my calendar using the link below.
