Work life design: shaping the 'new'

It’s time for your next step. And so, you need more clarity on what your ‘new’ becoming is, and what support you need to make it happen. So that you can bring your ideas to life, in your work, and in relationships.

This is precisely why you come to me for coaching: to connect what you know on the inside with your reality on the outside.

I bring a holistic approach to include all parts of you, and all elements of life. We look at your wellbeing, so that you are resilient enough to handle the triggers of the new. We make it both profound and pragmatic. Because a next step, often also means making choices and having tricky conversations. It is in these ‘moments of truth’ that you can shape the new you want to bring into the world.

Do you recognize yourself in this? I look forward to support you!

life design: your system as whole

Life Design is the strategic process we use to analyze and shape your life. During coaching, we work with insights from science and wisdom, with a somatic and systemic approach:

Systemic: We look at the bigger picture—your place in the organization and the dynamics within your family—to gain insight into stuck and new patterns.
Somatic: We involve the wisdom of your body to recognize your triggers, stress, and to anchor your energy, boundaries, and authenticity, beyond the purely mental.

Because what got you here, won’t get you there. I help you break through inefficient systems, so that you can take that next step that leads to the future you envision.

coaching; taking the next step

No coaching program is the same. Your unique situation requires a suitable approach to effectively achieve profound results. We combine your specific wishes with the elements of Life Design to set a new course. During the process, we work on:

Designing your life (ME): We create clarity about your desires, ambitions, and intention. This way you build self-confidence and provide direction to take up the space you want.
Aligning your life (WE & IT): We translate your design into concrete, intentional choices in your work, relationships, and the systems of your daily life.

Many people start with a program of 5-10 sessions. To see if there is a match, we first schedule a (free) intro session. You can supplement the coaching with a Year Plan Day or a joint session with your partner.

from ambition to year plan 2026

Your work goals are set, but what about the goals for your personal growth, your family, and your relationship? Do you recognize that work often takes priority?

A WorkLife Design Year Plan breaks this pattern. By consciously considering all areas of your life, you create a clear blueprint that keeps you on track for the rest of the year. In this plan, you translate the Life Design insights into your intention, your support system, and small tangible steps.

MY EXPERIENCE AS A LEADERSHIP COACH

I have over 15 years of experience in coaching and leadership development for various professionals, entrepreneurs, and international organizations such as Spotify, Bain & Company, Volvo, Polestar, and Marshall.

I am a Master of Science specialized in Identity & Diversity and trained as an Ontological Coach (Newfield Network USA since 2013), Somatic Coach (body-oriented), and Systemic Coach. Since 2015, after 1500 hours of coaching, I was certified as a Professional Coach (PCC) by the International Coach Federation (ICF).

I bring a unique vision of Self Leadership to my work, exploring what it means ‘to live a good life at work.‘ This helps us look deeper, broader, and more holistically than standard leadership coaching. I believe that we first have to make the change within ourselves that we want to see in the world. And that with your inner work, you contribute to growth in the world—”Inner Growth for Outer Change,” as they call it at the Inner Development Goals (IDGs connected to the UN’s SDGs).
