My toolbox

I am a certified executive coach with CTI https://coactive.com/ . The Co-Active Framework is an ethos and mindset that helps people stretch their sightlines, get out of their comfort zones, and grow in a way that permeates every aspect of their lives. Whether it’s looking at goals (“Fulfilment”), managing decisions (“Balance”) or coming to terms with challenges of any kind (“Process”) I have tools and approaches that are designed to ensure that you are in safe hands on your coaching journey. For recommendations, please see my LinkedIn page.

I spent more than 30 years in the corporate space. During this time, I held a variety of roles, including global leadership management with large remote teams. Do you have a challenge in your corporate life that you want to explore? Mentoring can be a valid solution to complement executive coaching that can assist you with brainstorming strategies in order to formulate an outcome that is aligned with your values and purpose.

I am a certified team coach with ORSC https://crrglobal.com/about/orsc/, which stands for Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching. ORSC is an integrated and robust coaching model based on Relationship Systems Intelligence. Beyond Emotional Intelligence (relationship with oneself) and Social Intelligence (relationship with others) is the realm of Relationship Systems Intelligence, where one’s focus shifts to the relationship with the group, team, or system. This approach creates sustainable and resilient teams, organizations, and families.

I am in Insights Discovery Practitioner https://www.insights.com/products/insights-discovery/ . A psychometric tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung, Insights Discovery is built to help people understand themselves, understand others, and make the most of the relationships that affect them in the workplace. The methodology uses a simple and memorable four color model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to the team. Called color energies, they are accessible to participants via an easy online questionnaire which highlights preferences and helps to determine how and why people behave the way they do.

I am an Insights MDI Emotional intelligence (EQ) Practitioner https://insights.ch/was-ist-der-persoenlichkeitstest/ This personality test is a psychological procedure in which assessment question are used to measure one’s EQ. There is no rating system behind it, however it provides useful reference content for individuals in the form of a complete profile with an assessment and suggestions for self-development. As a consequence, one can get to know, understand and assess oneself and others better.

I helped to build and develop, then deliver, leadership management courses in the corporate field. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (University of New South Wales https://www.unsw.edu.au/ ) and MBA (University of Strathclyde https://www.strath.ac.uk/ ), which provides me with a solid academic foundation in terms of knowledge and theory in relationship to corporate leadership. I have delivered countless leadership training programs across the planet in more than 30 locations.

Australian by birth, I have lived and worked in Switzerland since 1999 and am now a Swiss citizen. With competent French and German (B2) to support my English delivery of training material, combined with Mandarin Chinese basics (B1) I know and appreciate what it means to work with staff from all over the world. As a consequence, my training material and overall approach is structured to ensure that there is inclusion, psychological safety, and emotional intelligence embedded in my approach.

I become increasingly interested in breathing exercises, guided meditations, mindfulness, and other resilience practices that can help you to become more grounded, centered, and intentional. Let me know during our conversations if this is of interest. I have a wide range of training offerings and resources on this topic that can help you.
