As boardrooms fill with women and people from other cultural backgrounds, the benefits of diversity are increasingly accepted. And yet working and leading in a diversified organisation needs practice and reflection – that’s where I help.

A strategy is nothing without its implementation. It’s my job to engage with people at all levels of an organisation to map out the details and embrace doing things differently. This is much more than ordering a powerpoint presentation to be “done”.

Basically everything I do. Make it a process, get people involved and create and live a story. Enable negotiation and make sure you get your timing right. Care and nurture, but don’t be afraid of cutting and stopping. Above all: communicate!

Conflicting interests are a normal part of dealing with uncertainty and complexity. I’m called in to support organisations and facilitate their internal conflicts and/or conflicts with important stakeholders and come to common solutions.

Small and medium sized enterprises are the core of any stable and diversified economy. Whether start-up or well-grounded, change processes in SME are different: I help keep them pragmatic, agile, people-focused and individual.

Many of my clients work in potentially traumatic environments, some surrounded by violence and crime, others frustrated by ineffectual governance and stagnation. I support team building for organisations facing these challenges.

Effective corporate, philanthropic and government leaders need to bridge the gap to stakeholders and citizens in order to understand them, learn from them and gain their trust. Stakeholder/citizen dialogue is my favourite work!

Whether onsite or spread over the world, I support teams in establishing how well they’re working and how well they’re growing, what they need and want to do (differently) to be more effective and more satisfied.

Our global change priority. I facilitate the sticky negotiations at local, national and global level that are at the core of moving quickly enough to realise sustainable development goal 13.

The Agenda 2030 has become a strategic goal for governments and corporations around the world. This means they need to embrace complexity and I help design and implement the necessary networks and processes.

What’s the energy mix of the future? How can we save energy? How can the energy transition be equitable? Important questions for dialogues I facilitate between politics, civil society and the private sector.

It seems to have taken the pandemic to put biodiversity and ecosystems on the agenda – something my clients at UN and national levels have done for years. Let’s move faster here to involve industry in the dialogue.

My job is to support philanthropists on both sides of the Atlantic and, more recently, on the African continent, to join the dots between neurosciences, mental health, pain science and other disciplines and help millions of people all over the world live better lives.

I love social entrepreneurs. They see a social problem and approach it as an entrepreneur, finding the best model to pursue and reach their goals. I support their organizational and business development (see I COMMIT).

Too many people mistrust science and scientists. What we don’t understand, we don’t trust. This is one of the root causes of lack of action on climate change for example. I support civic science efforts to engage normal people in research.

Violence against women is preventable and yet so prevalent that 1 in 3 women will experience it during their lifetimes. I support regional organisations mainstreaming action against gender violence in health and other social systems.
