My Story
“I was born in Germany to a German/Lutheran mother and a Sudanese/Muslim father, navigating polarities and differences was my everyday experience.
My diverse background and resultant multi-faceted worldview has made me curious about us humans, what shapes us and how and why we behave the way we do. In particular I am fascinated by our commonalities and differences, and what we need to live and work well. I am passionate about creating the conditions for people to feel safe, allowing them to bring their best self to all areas of their life and impact the world positively.
Professionally my background has put me on a life-long learning path. It began on the change team at Deutsche BA and on to Mercer HR where I was an internal and external change agent. Working non-stop whilst consulting on a government sponsored work life balance initiative (the irony!), close to burnout, I decided to take some time out. That was over 20 years ago, kick-starting my career in organisational and leadership development.
My personal life has been fertile ground for my passion for learning. I believe the downs in life can be great teaching moments. My head-on experience with cancer has shaped me significantly and has positively impacted my life path. It made me re-evaluate life and brought about a lot of change. Now I live in York, and as my daughter flies the nest, I have more opportunities for learning and expanding my horizons. The mountains make my heart sing. I love the outdoors, physical activity and conversations that are deep, meaningful and full of joy.”
