Hello,
My name is Cassandra and I am a professionally certified coach, HR consultant and former commercial pilot.
But more than formal titles, I am an enthusiastic explorer of the world, a critic of made up “truths” and an avid believer in the intrinsic worth, creativity and resourcefulness of all human beings. This is the foundation of my work as a coach and what I bring into every conversation with my clients.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with this area of life that we call work. As a kid, my dad would bring me to air shows at his military base in Sweden, and what I walked away with was a deep-rooted belief that the sky was the limit. I was also convinced that if I could be Tom Cruise in Top Gun, life would be perfect.
Turns out me and Maverick didn’t have that much in common (thank God!), and since then, I’ve navigated different educations, pivoted careers and even changed continents a couple of times. What I’ve learned throughout my meandering is that there truly is no “right way”. There is only YOUR way. Your way to lead. Your unique way to make a difference.
Today, I work with people and organizations that are committed to change our world for the better. I help them figure out and stay true to their core values as they navigate an increasingly complex work climate. I believe that making space for the honest and sometimes hard conversations is the key towards doing brave, impactful work without loosing sight of our humanity and wellbeing. My highest priority is to create a space for those conversations that is free of outside expectations and judgements so that my clients can explore what constitutes the fibers of their being, their vision and how they want to show up in the world, for themselves and for others.
My core values
🌱 COURAGE - I believe in doing what is right rather than what is easy. If your criteria for moving forward is that you’re not scared, you’ll watch your world shrink and your dreams drift away.
🌱 COMPASSION - Compassion is at the heart of all my relationships, including the one I have with myself. I don’t believe in propelling myself or others forward by self hate. Besides, it makes life so much more enjoyable.
🌱 HUMAN FIRST - The end does not always justify the means in my world. I prioritize people, process and how I move through the world on a day to day basis, rather than attachment to any specific result.
What I’m good at
🌱Coaching individuals on designing meaningful and fulfilling careers.
🌱Providing a safe space for people to explore who they are.
🌱Helping people get unstuck and into action.
🌱Downward facing dog (yup, it’s a skill).
🌱Helping organizations bring out the best in their talents.
