I find it meaningful to contribute to the development of individual or group activities aligned with organizational strategy and client needs. This promotes both individual and organizational (collective) learning, ultimately improving organizational performance and culture development.

Over the years, I have completed several professional Coaching certificates:  
Certified Business Coach (ACSTH, BCI), Certified Business Coach Master (Nokia Oyj/Dublin), Associated Certified Coach (ACC, ICF), Nokia Certified Coach (Nokia Oyj), Certified Business Coach Master® (BCI), Group & Team Coaching Diploma (BCI), Executive Coaching Diploma (BCI), AI Coaching (BCI), PCC (Professional Certified Coach, ICF = current learning path), International Coaching Federation ICF, Finland (member), Finland Coaching Federation (member)

I have taken several behavioural science degrees (Master of Adult Education, Graduated in Humanities, School teacher / Helsinki university, Oulu university), wide range of studies
(abroad as well):
education, training, leadership and work psychology (Helsinki Technical University), strategic human resource management (SHRM/MIF and Jyväskylä University), human resource development (HRD) and project management (PRINCE2), marketing as well as Finnish language and Finnish as second language (S2) (Jyväskylä and Helsinki University).

I have a 20-year experience of competence, change and project management in global business (ICT) including working in service design, marketing, sales and consultation.

I am an experienced expert in education, learning and (personal) development reflecting 18 years successful service in the public sector.

Since 2014, I have worked successfully as an internal coach, both locally and virtually (in Finnish and English), contributing to the coaching culture within multinational organizations.

Since 2018, I have been an entrepreneurial coach through various networks (e.g., Business Coaching Center Oy / BCC, Coolla Oy), supporting clients in executing strategic changes and achieving personal goals, as well as coaching individuals aspiring to advance in their careers.

Since early 2023, I have worked with the Business Coaching Institute (BCI) as a trainer in professional coaching skills (Finnish, English), as a facilitator in executive coaching programs and as a business coach, helping professionals and leaders from various companies achieve their growth goals. I also facilitate book and reading clubs hosted by BCI and occasionally speak at BCI alumni webinars.

As a coach, I thrive in the following areas:

• Personal growth, career planning and management, self-leadership

• Supporting leadership and managerial work / HR and HRD

• Competence management, learning, development, education, and training

• Work-related challenges and problem-solving, particularly in the ICT, finance, and retail sectors (e.g., teamwork, agility, collaboration, etc.)

• Life management and well-being

• Communication and interpersonal skills

• Individual/group activities in relation with organization strategy

• Project and change management

• Target prioritization

• Process improvement

I am inspired by the coaching themes such as:
lifelong learning, renewal and professional growth, community/personnel self-leadership, positive intelligence, and self-management of one’s skills and expertise.

I get energized by hobbies like sport (varies along the seasons), reading (well-being, organisation development) and music. I take pleasure in outdoor activities, spending time at the cottage, travelling, experiencing cultural events, and being with friends.
