As a passionate and a self-confessed self-development nerd, I’m in my element when Coaching, Mentoring or Learning & Development topics are being discussed.

I am all about living and working from a place of growth-mindset, I see every situation as an opportunity to learn.

With insatiable interest in the future of work, I am on a mission to support and empower people to thrive in the modern working environment, to grow leaders to achieve their full potential.

It’s fascinating to experience how L&D is evolving and embracing EI, compassionate leadership, agile learning methodologies, holistic & integrated learning, digitalisation.
