UN Sustainable development goals, protreptic, leadership & school development

I am deeply committed to making the world a better place, which is why I provide guidance to individuals, NGOs and other organisations working towards the same goal. I particularly focus on realizing the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, I serve as the CEO and partner at SDG World, whose aim is to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by facilitating cross-sector partnerships between private and public institutions, NGOs and associations. Promentum is one of the partnerships within the organisation and collaborates with other partnerships to contribute to global goals 17: Partnerships for the actions.

Personally, I view diversity, intercultural encounters and international exchange as crucial pathways towards realizing our common humanity.

I am particularly interested in dialogue and creating space for meaningful conversation and interpersonal presence – because I understand that new insights generate value, development and new practices.

Here’s how I can assist:

• Advising on the planning and implementation of SDG projects.
• Facilitating SDG networks and project organisation (public, private, NGO).
• Coaching and sparring grounded in philosophical conversations (Protreptic).
• Advising on leadership and concepts such as volunteerism, empowerment, authenticity and self-leadership.
• Advising on the development of authentic learning environments.
• Advising on school development and management involving all levels of governance.
• Implementing open collaborative schools: School, local community, association and business.
