Leadership Excellence

The Game-changing Ingredient To Successful
Transformational Change & Operational Excellence

The effective response to dynamic challenges is what I call leadership excellence.

Because in times of poly-crisis constant change requires leadership at all levels. 

To lead well, leaders must inspire, build, and empower diverse teams, and foster rapid adaptation; but traditional leadership models are insufficient in this context.

my Convictions

Leadership:
A Journey of Transformation

• Like cloud seeding, leadership is a skill that can be learned, refined, and mastered— it is not a trait you are born with.
• Every person has the potential to become a transformative leader who creates perfect conditions for growth and success.

Leadership:
Is Universal

• Anyone can lead at any point in their journey.
• Leadership emerges from action, not position.
• Every person has the potential to create positive change at any time, from any position.

Leadership:
Shapes Environments

• Leaders' actions—conscious or not—influence team climate. Its impact extends to self, teams, and entire organizations.
• Intentional leadership transforms challenges into opportunities and creates momentum towards a desired outcome.
• Leaders can become cloud seeders of change who create conditions for growth where people thrive.

Leadership:
A Journey of Continuous Growth

• Leadership development is transformative self-development; Growth occurs through intentional development and key turning points.
• Each challenge presents an opportunity to evolve.
• Mastery comes through lifelong learning and practice.

Whether leading yourself or others, formally or informally, the journey to leadership excellence is ongoing. Each experience adds to your expertise in creating the perfect conditions for transformation.

I belief any successful change requires leadership excellence.

“Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership.” – Peter Drucker

The Approach

SEEDing - Human Transformation with Impact Coaching

“Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires to maximize personal and professional potential.
It helps people learn, grow, and change.” (ICF, 2019).

My customized coaching promotes personal and professional growth, facilitating lasting change beyond traditional coaching. It draws on insights from psychology and neuroscience.

The SEEDing – Human Transformation approach guides clients through self-discovery, reflection and action to achieve change and considers a client’s change context from multiple perspectives to identify levers for sustainable, lasting impact. This helps us build skills to inspire, mobilize and engage others. 

In the four phases we:

  • See: Together we analyze your unique terrain, dynamics around you and the legacy of past change efforts.
  • Explore: We explore barriers and options to creating optimal conditions for change.
  • Embark: You embark on a journey to build new ways to think, behave, act, collaborate, and respond to change based on scientific insights.
  • Drive: You achieve sustainable and meaningful results that build resilience.

LEADERS OF TRANSFORMATION

A Visionary Impact Leader
  • Every organizational transformation requires leaders, who know how to operate in turbulence and how to catalyze change to embark employees and engage them to make significant shifts in their way of working, behaving or thinking.
  • Leaders need to walk-the-talk and demonstrate a shift towards the desired future.
  • Profound shifts in mindset, choices, decisions and behavior are required on all levels and almost impossible to achieve in required time without coaching support.

LEADERS IN TRANSFORMATION

Cloud Seeders For Individual Change
  • Moving to the next level in your career or life journey requires a significant shift in how you think, behave, act, and even your identity.
  • I support you to take a holistic perspective and explore the self, interaction with others, and the environment you are acting in to build a new identity and elevate your capabilities.

Inclusive Leader

  • Are you a team or department leader who want to create a trusting, positive work environment?
  • Are you ready to lead authentically?
  • Are you feeling challenged and stuck in your leadership role?


This program is for experienced leaders and those ready to transform leadership culture.

  • Designed for leaders ready to foster inclusive leadership cultures.
  • Particularly for women leaders: They often feel pressured to compete with traditional systems or copy male leadership to succeed, which can hinder their authentic self-expression.
  • We work together to break down barriers and unleash your potential.


Let’s shatter the glass ceiling together and thrive in a more progressive leadership landscape.
