About

SELMA
Coach | Connector | Co-traveller

The central theme in my life is my fascination with human beings. With an MSc in Psychology, I first worked as a tour leader in South East Asia. Group dynamics, new experiences, new perspectives: all led to my career as a Leadership Coach and Facilitator. For the past 15 years I have worked for various industries and companies, including adidas, T-Mobile, British Petroleum (BP) and Unicef. My activities have always circled around the core similarity in all of us: we are all human beings.

I see life as a web of connections. Connections between people, within people and outside of people. It has become my mission to bring performance, people, relationships, head and heart together. I support individuals, teams and organisations in building better relationships through real conversations. I don’t believe in fixing it for you; I believe in helping you fix it yourself.

What I’ve seen during my work with individuals and teams in the corporate world is that – in our own ways – we all want to belong, we all want to connect and we all want to create, perform and deliver. However, when it gets difficult – whatever the reason – we tend to focus on the results and tasks only and we forget to connect or are not effective in how we connect. Through working with these teams, I’ve learnt how to empower teams to get “unstuck” and to create trust, clarity and purpose.

I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I use a wide range of proven tools and techniques based on Organizational and Relationship System Coaching (ORSC), Non-Violent Communication and Positive Psychology.

I’d love to be your co-traveller on your path of change.
