My approach explained

Holistic & Decolonial

In my consulting work, a decolonial approach means questioning the systems, norms, and practices that perpetuate inequality, bias, and chronic exhaustion within organizations and individuals. I focus on nurturing inclusive spaces where historically silenced perspectives are heard and valued, while also encouraging clients to rethink how their cultural, historical, and social contexts shape their growth and decision-making. It’s about fostering a mindset that challenges conventional, North American-centric ideals of success and explores paths that allow for greater self-expression, agency, and meaningful alignment with people’s current realities.

My holistic approach emphasizes understanding individuals and organizations as interconnected systems, where personal, emotional, and social dimensions influence one another. In my practice, fostering growth by considering the full spectrum of experiences, needs, and environments. Whether it's personal development or organizational change, we go beyond the surface to explore deeper patterns and interconnected factors. I aim to provide strategies that foster alignment, sustainability, and balance—ensuring that transformation is both meaningful and supportive of overall well-being.

The 5 C's of Consulting for MMT

There are many different hats a consultant can wear depending on the project or issue at hand. These sum up my views on how I like to approach this consulting work with my clients.

Curator of Inclusive Spaces: Holding Safe & Expansive Environments

A guardian of psychological safety, ensuring you have a space where you can express yourself authentically, explore new ideas, and embrace vulnerability without fear of judgment. I foster environments that prioritize connection, trust, and meaningful dialogue, allowing you to engage in self-exploration and development in a supportive atmosphere.

Focus: Psychological safety, emotional security, fostering connection, non-judgment & organic exchanges

Curiosity Buddy: Deepening Self-Understanding

A thought partner who explores different avenues with you, venturing into the rabbit holes of your mind, unpacking thought patterns, and sparking reflections that deepen your self-awareness and relationship with yourself. Together, we uncover recurring themes, recognize patterns, and situate your experiences within a broader context—both personal (micro), group (meso) and systemic (macro).

Focus: Awareness, pattern recognition, contextual understanding, inner exploration.

Creative Collaborator: Ideating Solutions

A co-creator who helps you envision and design new possibilities, assessing where you are now and mapping out potential pathways forward. Whether through brainstorming, strategic ideation, or exploring alternative approaches, I support you in crafting a life, habits, and thought patterns that align with your aspirations.

Focus: Design, co-creation, solution-oriented thinking, exploration of plausible plans.

Cough Syrup Friend: Truth with Kindness

The one who tells you what you need to hear—not just what you want to hear. Like a spoonful of cough syrup, the truth may not always taste sweet, but at least, you won’t be left alone to deal with the aftertaste. Offered with care and in service of your growth, my role is to facilitate reflection by holding up a mirror – helping you confront challenges with honesty, consideration, and efficiency.

Focus: “the only way out is through”, supportive truth-telling, navigating discomfort with care, clarity through consideration, growth-oriented feedback.

Coach: Building Momentum & Accountability

A steady presence who helps you stay the course through life's transitions, offering accountability, structure, and support. I provide tools, feedback, and guidance to help you clarify your direction, build self-trust, and take aligned action toward your goals. Think of me as a bridge between where you are and where you want to be—offering both encouragement and practical strategies to get there.

Focus: Action-oriented guidance, habit and trust building, accountability, compassionate approach.

Like I like to say ''I'm not here for a long time but and efficient one. So, ultimately, my role and goal is to hold space for you to navigate your transition period with more ease. I offer visibility on potential options of solutions and then we can go explore them in more depth together. Eventually, the goal is to make sure that you have the tools and ability to continue this journey of self-discovery and solidify or deepen these explorations on your own! 🤗
