I've Got Your Back
Welcome! I’m Venla and I am on a mission is to help leaders embrace their strengths and authentic selves and foster environments where teams can collaborate, work autonomously, learn, and grow.
If you are a leader in a small to medium-sized company or a HR leader lacking support, I feel like we could be a great match!
Consider me your secret weapon for positive change, innovation, and strengthening your leadership journey.
What's holding you back from your best work? Schedule a call now, and let's tackle it together!
Have you ever:
Felt alone and overwhelmed with all of your leadership tasks and challenges?
Needed some support with facilitating team sessions and workshops?
Worked under constant stress rather than leveraging your strengths?
Felt confused about how to use ChatGPT in your daily work?
Been constrained by budgets but in need of modern HR expertise*?
Felt eager to lead your team into a progressive, trust-based work environment?
If any of these scenarios resonate with you, know that you're not alone. I'm here to be your dedicated sidekick, offering tailored support to overcome these challenges (and more) and lead your team to success. Traditionally I might be called Leadership/HR consultant/Agile Coach, but I prefer the term "sidekick." Why? Because it suggests a committed, trust-based relationship with my clients. It implies versatility, allowing me to take on various roles such as coach, mentor, consultant, advisor, trainer, or facilitator—whatever you need to thrive in your leadership journey.
*Disclaimer: Embracing my role as a corporate rebel, I steer clear of the old HR ways. My passion lies in Agile HR, the future of work, and putting people at the center of it all
