1-UP Coach AND Mentor

About 1-UP Coach AND Mentor

In the world of gaming, the term “1-UP” refers to an extra life or an opportunity to continue playing, even after failing. It’s a chance to learn from past mistakes, adapt, and come back stronger.

That’s what I offer you.

Leadership Coaching

I am an INSEAD Certified Leadership Coach & Mentor with 25 years of entrepreneurial experience in games and the tech industry at large. My mission is to empower professionals to level up their leadership skills so they can facilitate their teams to do their best work.

After more than 1,000 coaching sessions with 40+ clients, patterns started to emerge and morphed into a method. Here’s what that method can do for leaders in a complex and creative environment:

1. Setting the course: I will help you establish and communicate a clear, inspiring vision and strategic goals to motivate your team and provide them with a clear sense of direction.

2. Leading teams to do their best work: I will guide you to create an environment where teams can excel, fostering a culture that unlocks productivity and creativity indispensable for exceptional outcomes.

3. Stakeholder Management: We will spend time and energy on how to navigate complex dynamics and build strong connections with horizontal and vertical stakeholders, fostering collaboration and achieving shared goals across the organisation.

4. Cutting ribbons and owning crises: I will show you the value of celebrating team milestones and mistakes. I will provide you with the tools needed to navigate crises effectively, inspiring confidence and cultivating a culture of trust and transparency.

I typically hold sessions every two weeks for extended periods of time, with the main focus being on leading teams to do their best work. I find the "5 Dysfunctions of a Team" framework particularly effective in achieving this goal.

Needless to say, I will adapt my approach to a setting that is as engaging and informative as it is tailored to your unique needs and challenges.
