Scenarios Where I Provide Solutions

Individuals: When Your Direction and Identity are at Stake

I help ambitious professionals and team athletes navigate the crossroads where logic and emotion often collide. When facing the most significant moves of your life, you don't just need encouragement – you need strategic clarity.

You can turn to me in situations such as:

• Career Choice Phase – Are you questioning if sports or a specific professional path is truly for you, and are you ready for the sacrifices it demands?

• Identity Shift – Your professional role is changing. Who are you when the familiar field or title is left behind?

• Strategic Contract Decisions – How do you choose the option that serves the big picture and your values, rather than just short-term gain?

• Career Pivots – The feeling that something must change, but the next step is hidden in the fog.

Organizations: When Decision-Making is a Competitive Advantage

An organization is only as strong as its ability to make and execute decisions. I help you build a culture where information doesn't stay in silos and where wisdom is transformed into action without unnecessary delay.

I help your organization when challenges include:

• Sand in the Gears – Decision-making is slow, unclear, or stuck in information overload.

• Loss of Silent Knowledge – Expert knowledge isn't translating into decisions. Let's harness the wisdom of the entire community.

• Recruitment Strategy – How to make choices that strengthen team chemistry and meet future needs, not just current emergencies.

• Clarifying the Decision Process – Creating a transparent and systematic way of working that reduces stress and improves performance under pressure.

Ella's story - Becoming a professional athlete?

Ella is a 15-year-old junior high school student in a small rural community, a bit shy. Ella's favourite hobby is sports, she is an avid hockey player in the winter and in the summer she likes athletics, especially long jump.

There is a long jump track in her home municipality, but it is not possible to play hockey in her neighbourhood; the team she plays and trains with plays its home games 50 km away.

Ella thinks it would be nice to live closer to the hockey venue, it's not always so convenient to go to practice after school in the winter after dark, and her parents have to drive her every time she goes because there are no other players in her home town.

However, Ella's passion helps her to endure the dark evenings and her parents' compassion has prevented her from giving up hockey. In athletics, there is less of a challenge and this allows more frequent practice of the jumps.

All in all, Ella spends a lot of time each week on sports and can hardly fit other activities into her calendar, sometimes even school can suffer.

Ella has been sporty from an early age and has grown up with it. Sometimes she wishes she didn't have to go to school so she could exercise more. But school is compulsory until the age of 18, so it has to be done.

Ella's post-secondary plans are still wide open. She's pretty sure it should be related to sport in some way. If it was possible, she might focus solely on sports. But how she would finance it is an open question.

You don't just jump from secondary school to professional sport, and people of that age aren't professionals anyway. Ella wonders if there are schools where you can invest in sport and not have to stress about your studies.

On the other hand, Ella is not entirely sure if she really wants to become a top athlete, she knows it takes a lot of training and dedication. She asks herself:

What do I want out of life?
- We all ask this question at some point

Do I just want to play sports? Or is it just a hobby after all?

Do I even want to be a professional athlete? Do I have enough potential?

A career in sport doesn't last until retirement, so I suppose you have to do something afterwards to have an income, she thinks.

It has become clear to me in the study advisory that there are plenty of opportunities to study, probably too many. How can anyone decide where to go to school, you can't get a job without an education, can you? Compulsory education continues after secondary school, so you can't get out of it yet either. High school would probably be the best option if you don't know what you want to do.

Why is there no better help available? The study advisor can show you where to study, but he or she is not there to help you choose. I suppose there are psychologists who can advise on the profession, but do they know anything about sport?

I have not been blessed with the talent of a decision maker, though I don't know if making a decision is easy for anyone else, many of my friends don't know what they want to study.

I wish there was someone who could help me make a decision about sport and education?

And how can someone know out of all the possibilities in the world what they want, what life should include and what is really important to them. There are just too many options.

Ella is quite alone in her pondering, the study advisor is not really able to help her with her particular problem. Ella's time of choice is approaching and she has to make decisions about what she wants from her life. What about the sport that is important to her? Will it remain a hobby and keep fit, or something more?
