"Leadership is not about mastering others, but mastering oneself"
If you're ready to move beyond traditional coaching methods and explore a deep, challenging and integrative approach to leadership development, I invite you to connect with me. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey to enhance your leadership capacity and create lasting positive change in both your professional and personal life.
UNIQUE APPROACH
I believe that true leadership begins with a strong sense of purpose and vision, combined with determination, hard work, self-awareness and a solid reflective practice. By cultivating deeper understanding of oneself and others, leaders can unlock their full potential, communicate more effectively, and thus drive positive change within their teams and organizations.
Integrating a systems psychodynamic approach with elements of mindfulness and other evidence-based techniques, I help leaders develop a reflective practice, enhance decision-making and improve their communication skills. Through one-on-one coaching, team development, and group work, I guide leaders to understand the unconscious dynamics that shape their behavior and help them become aware of how they interact with themselves and others, creating a more insightful and impactful leadership presence.
With a deep understanding of human behavior, honed over decades of experience during a long career as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I offer an integrative coaching process that is refined, evidence-based, and deeply transformative. You’ll benefit from:
At Dynaminds Leadership, we believe that authentic leadership transforms not just organizations but the people within them. True, sustainable success arises when leaders understand themselves and others on a profound level, enabling them to navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and compassion. We exist to empower leaders to foster meaningful, lasting change—because organizations thrive when their leaders do.
ABOUT ME
I am an executive coach committed to fostering transformation and deep, lasting change in leaders, teams, and organizations. Drawing on system psychodynamic principles, mindfulness practices and evidence-based practice for mental fitness, I empower clients to cultivate authenticity, make better informed decisions, improve their interpersonal skills and navigate complexity wisely.
With a rich career as a clinician, lecturer and mentor for future leaders in mental health, I bring decades of expertise in understanding human behavior and organizational dynamics. Fascinated by these dynamics and the challenges leaders face, I decided to build on my experience and bring my knowledge to another place: the workplace.
I embarked on this journey at INSEAD entering their ICC program (INSEAD Coaching Certificate). At INSEAD I followed a top-notch training in executive coaching and connected with many experienced coaches in the field. I've worked with INSEAD on their Leadership program as a coach and leadership consultant and enjoyed working with senior executives from all parts of the world.
At KDVI (the Kets De Vries Institute) I found new learnings on team-coaching during their Group Coaching Practicum (GCP) and again connected with a new community of coaches and consultants with similar aspirations. It has been a challenging, empowering and inspiring journey ever since!
As a keynote speaker, I address critical topics like:
-Navigating narcissism in the workplace
-The importance of reflective leadership
-Challenges in female leadership
-The psychology of high-performing teams
At Dynaminds Leadership I work across networks with different inspiring executive coaches from all over the world to find the best coaching design that suits you and your organization best.
Executive Coach and Leadership Consultant
My mission is to guide leaders to embrace self-reflection in order to lead with more alignment and insight, improve their interpersonal sensitivity and develop more connectedness in their team to enhance collaboration and boost team performance!
