What You Gain from Working with Me
Landing a meaningful and well-rewarded career in the international development sector — particularly within the UN system — requires more than just a polished CV or strong motivation. It calls for a deep understanding of the sector’s complexity, a clear sense of personal purpose, and the ability to communicate your unique value with clarity and confidence.
My approach is built on Empathic Systems Leadership, combining strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and a systems view of your career and the global context in which you operate.
While your personal effort and engagement are key, I will amplify your success by helping you:
1. Save Time and Gain Clarity
Accelerate your job search and career development by defining a clear, purpose-driven direction aligned with your strengths, values, and the evolving priorities of international organizations. Together, we build a personalized career roadmap grounded in both vision and realism.
2. Increase Income and Career Satisfaction
Learn how to strategically position your experience and negotiate offers with confidence. You'll gain insider insights into the true value of international roles — from hidden costs and benefits to mobility and advancement — enabling you to secure roles that are not only generously-compensated but aligned with your lifestyle and aspirations.
3. Boost Confidence and Courage through Self-Awareness
Through deep coaching and proven tools, we uncover your natural talents, core strengths, and leadership edge. You’ll develop the courage to pursue new opportunities and the confidence to articulate your value in ways that resonate — not just in applications and interviews, but in the relationships that shape your career.
