Flow State Optimization for Peak Performance
A cornerstone of my performance enhancement approach is flow state optimization, where I guide individuals and teams in harnessing the power of peak mental states for extraordinary productivity and creativity. Leveraging cutting-edge neuroscience and performance psychology, we implement a suite of evidence-based techniques to cultivate an environment conducive to achieving and maintaining flow states.

My approach is characterized by a blend of scientific rigor and practical application, tailored to the unique needs and contexts of each client. By integrating flow state optimization into daily work practices, individuals and organizations can unlock unprecedented levels of performance, satisfaction, and sustainable success in today’s dynamic business environment.
Strategic goal setting
A cornerstone of my consulting approach is strategic goal setting, where I assist organizations in defining and aligning their objectives from the organizational level down to the individual level. Leveraging methodologies such as Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), we establish clear, measurable goals that drive alignment, accountability, and continuous improvement. OKRs provide a framework for setting ambitious yet achievable objectives, fostering transparency and focus throughout the organization.
In addition to goal setting, I specialize in advising organizations on culture development, team topologies, and process optimization. By identifying and addressing areas of inefficiency and dysfunction, I help organizations unlock their full potential and achieve sustainable success in today’s dynamic business landscape. My consulting approach is characterized by a collaborative, client-centric mindset, grounded in a deep understanding of organizational dynamics and a commitment to driving meaningful change.
Management consulting
In my management consulting practice, I offer comprehensive support to organizations seeking to optimize their performance and foster a culture of innovation and excellence. Drawing upon my expertise in team dynamics, trust dynamics, and organizational psychology, I provide tailored solutions to address key challenges and capitalize on opportunities for growth.
Agile Coaching
Guiding teams and organizations through agile transformations, I specialize in implementing methodologies like Scrum and kanban, fostering cultures of collaboration and continuous improvement.
Additionally, I provide mentorship to leadership and various roles including Scrum Masters, younger Agile Coaches, Product Owners, and Engineering Managers.
My expertise extends to facilitating team ramp-ups, raising awareness around team and organizational dysfunctions, and facilitating inter-team workshops to resolve conflicts and eliminate dependencies as requested or needed.
Having worked as a manager of agile coaches, I am also able to align agile coaches and scrum masters, and align the improvement efforts of the organisation cross teams and cross departments.
Life and Business Coaching
In my coaching practice, I firmly believe in the extraordinary potential that resides within every individual. I see each person as a unique, complex, and inherently capable being, capable of overcoming challenges and achieving their aspirations in ways they might not yet imagine.
My core approach to coaching is Eric Berne’s Transactional Analysis (TA). It is a powerful tool for self-awareness, personal growth, and transformation. By recognizing and understanding the dynamics of these ego states, individuals can gain insights into their own patterns of thinking, feeling, and interacting with others. This awareness allows clients to identify and challenge limiting beliefs, break free from unhelpful behavioral patterns, and make conscious choices that align with their goals and values. As a coach, I use TA concepts to help clients improve their communication skills, resolve conflicts, and cultivate healthier relationships both personally and professionally. Overall, TA enriches the coaching process by providing a deeper understanding of human behavior and offering practical tools for personal and interpersonal growth.
In our sessions, you can expect more than just conversation – we’ll delve into actionable homework assignments tailored specifically to your needs and circumstances. I understand that everyone’s journey is different, so I utilize a variety of tools and practices to ensure our approach resonates with you.
Sessions typically last 1.5 hours, providing ample time for deep exploration and reflection. And if you’re curious about starting this journey together, I offer a complimentary discovery discussion to see if we’re a good fit. Let’s take the first step towards unlocking your true potential, together.
Leadership Mentoring
In my leadership mentoring practice, I am committed to supporting leaders in their journey towards excellence, whether in predefined agile framework roles such as Scrum Masters or Product Owners, or in general leadership positions.
Drawing from my extensive background in team dynamics, trust dynamics, psychology of change, and environmental influences on behavior, I offer a holistic approach to leadership development.
Having served as a senior manager in a large corporation, I bring practical experience and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by leaders in their day-to-day responsibilities. From navigating crucial conversations with management and employees to fostering trust and accountability within teams, I offer insights and strategies tailored to each leader’s unique circumstances and goals.
My mentoring approach is characterized by empathy, practicality, and a relentless commitment to empowering leaders to thrive in their roles and drive meaningful change within their organizations.
