Supporting more conscious use of power.
Across leadership, relationships, conflict, and how we work together.
Across leadership, relationships, conflict, and how we work together.
With power come blind spots.
We all hold power, and we are not always aware of how we use it or how it lands on others.
In coaching, we slow down and look at what's happening, how you're using your power, where it's working and where it isn't, and what it might take to shift.
Together we explore how power shows up through conflict, visibility, boundaries, communication and the ways you respond within the contexts you are part of.
For leaders who want to go further, I also work with the Diamond Power Index (DPI). a 360° developmental tool built on the insight that feedback is one of the most powerful resources a leader has. It surfaces how your use of power is experienced by the people around you, and shows you what you may not be able to see on your own.
What remains unspoken in groups often shapes them the most.
I work with teams, grassroots leaders, organisers, coalitions and multi-stakeholder groups navigating complexity, collaboration and change. These spaces often involve different perspectives, identities, roles and forms of influence, where questions of participation, leadership, conflict and power sit close beneath the surface.
Power, Dynamics & Hidden Forces
Every group has an underneath. Who takes space, who holds back, what gets said and what never quite surfaces. Yet these are the forces that quietly shape so much of what unfolds.
I work with groups to bring these dynamics into view, always through the lens of power. Not to expose or confront, but to create enough safety that what's really happening can be seen, named and worked with.
This work is especially relevant where questions of power, identity, rank and difference are close to the surface.
Participatory Process Design & Facilitation
Good process doesn't happen by accident. It's designed with care, intention and close attention to what a group actually needs.
I support groups navigating change, realigning around a vision, or facing questions they need to think through together. It's about creating the conditions for collective intelligence to surface and for the group to find its own way forward.
Drawing on a range of process consultation approaches and the Grundkraft-Process method, I design and facilitate spaces where people can engage across difference, think together and find a way forward, even when the terrain is difficult.
We all use power. Not all of us can see it.
Power literacy is the ability to recognise how power moves, how it is used, often without awareness, and what impact that has on the people and groups around us. It means understanding the difference between power that opens things up and power that shuts them down. It means being able to name what's happening, even when it's subtle or uncomfortable. And it means developing the agency to do something different.
I offer workshops and experiential learning spaces through the Lens of Power, adapted for teams, organisations and groups.
Together we explore how power shows up in everyday interactions, through communication, visibility, rank, role and conflict. We look at where we tend to overuse or underuse our power without realising it, and what it takes to move toward a more conscious and accountable relationship with the power we hold.
This is practical, experiential work. People leave with more awareness, more language and a clearer sense of what they can actually do differently.
Power is present in every interaction.
Much of how we understand power is shaped by what we've been exposed to. Visible authority, hierarchy, cultural context, who gets heard and who doesn't. But power is not only something that others hold over us. It lives within us too, in a conversation, a meeting, a moment of conflict or silence.
There is often a gap between our intentions and how we are actually experienced. I support people to become more aware of that gap and develop a more conscious relationship to the power they hold.
My work is shaped by both lived experience and formal training.
Growing up in Nairobi and now living between Kenya and Switzerland, I have spent much of my life moving across different cultural, social and professional contexts. That experience made me deeply aware of how power shifts depending on context, who is heard, who belongs and who holds influence.
My training at the Kaospilot School laid the foundation for my work in leadership, facilitation and creative process design, particularly in working with groups in complex and cross-cultural environments. It also deepened my relationship to presence, listening and creating spaces where people can connect more openly with themselves and with others.
My coaching work draws on training with the Global Coaching Institute (GCI), the E¹ME²RGE³ Model™ and Diamond Leadership®. I am an accredited coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a certified coach for the Diamond Power Index (DPI).
My exposure to Process Oriented Psychology, World Work and the Grundkraft-Process method has also shaped how I work with conflict, group dynamics and difficult conversations, particularly around social and systemic issues.
