My why

After years as a Global Product Leader in a medical diagnostics multinational, I learned how diversity, inclusion, equity, and a sense of belonging impacts the emotional well-being of individuals, and business outcomes when we define others as different not difficult. Diversity is a given, inclusion is a choice.

My top values
  • Curiosity
  • Integrity
  • Emotional well-being
My superpower

Bringing the best out of individuals so they bring out the best in others and throughout the wider organization.

Fun facts

My favorite part of my work is …

… is accompanying individuals and teams in transition as they learn the ABC of emotional well-being: acknowledge, breathe, and choose what they can control based on fine-tuning their strengths.

In my workshops, I always …

… create psychological safety by promoting a strengths-based language which enables others to recognize what makes each individual unique and the value they bring to the team as well as to the wider organizational context.

In my workshops, I try not to …

… leave participants with stereotypical, label-based generalizations after a one-off workshop. Thanks to the e2grow platform, behavorial change is accomplished with bite-sized boosts and nudges that remind people of the human need of recognition and incremental change.

I know we have done magnificent work, when …

… “ahas” are transformed into observable and sustainable actions.

I especially love to work with clients, who …

… recognize the complexity of cultural influences (me, we, us) in global organizations where multicultural teams face interpersonal challenges and opportunities to be at their best while seeking to develop better relationships and better business outcomes.

Please spare us both the pain and do not even contact me if …

… you or your company are not ready to step back, reflect and recognize that people are not difficult, they are just different.

The proudest moment of my professional life:

Having a former participant in a workshop call me back years later in their career because they carried with them the positive impact of our individual or team coaching experience.

The question I always ask my clients:

What needs to shift in you to bring out the best in others?

The word my clients most often use to describe me:

... presence, an exceptional listening presence.

Three words I would use to describe me:

Curious, courageous, and kind.

The funniest praise for my work I have ever received:

“She enabled us to face our fears, our idiosyncrasies, and our preconceived assumptions of one another which build the much needed trust and confidence to work better together”

The worst piece of advice I’ve ever received (in business):

“That’s the corporate culture. Just get used to it because things aren’t going to change. It’s just how we do things around here”

A quote that inspires my work:

Don’t walk in front of me…I may not follow.
Don’t walk behind me…I may not lead.
Walk beside me…just be my friend [accompany me on my journey]
- Albert Camus

I love being a part of the e2grow community because …

… e2grow is a diverse community of dedicated Clifton Strengths Coaches bringing positive psychology to new, applicable and observable levels via the Clifton Strengths philosophy where people, parents, businesses, and global organizations have one goal in mind: bring out the best in others so they can bring out the best in themselves and those around them.

The world would be a better place if …

… we looked at people for what is right in them instead of what is wrong with them.

be who I am today without …

… having had the challenges and opportunities provided by living and working in several different countries and learning to be bilingual which taught me to listen before speaking.
