Change with a big heart

Change impresses. Change terrifies. Change touches our senses. At best, it is an irresistible feeling that makes us shine, learn and get excited together. 

Organizations change successfully only when people change. This requires common understanding, collaboration, competencies and tested tools. 

When you desire to lead your people in change and ensure your success, please contact me. I walk by your side all the way from sparring to planning and implementation – out of love for better change management.

In most of the cases it is like seeking for the holes in the leaking boat and attempts to patch them with old-fashioned equipment. Traditional corporation centric ways to manage competencies and learning activities based on static job descriptions and pre-defined skill sets are just not agile enough as the future becomes more difficult to predict.

In this article it is shown why the momentum to implement more dynamic ways to do upskilling by focusing on employees’ learning experiences rather than corporation functionalities is NOW.

Why Kirsi?

We should meet if you are looking for a scientifically trained work and business developer. My superpower is to design your change journey as a goal-oriented learning process. With a big heart – not to mention the fun.

I coach, facilitate, teach and guide. Despite my young age, my career is over twenty years long. During these years, I have had privilege to educate thousands of experts in hundreds of different work communities.

The same decades I have taught courses of working life learning, competence development and communication in different universities. My wild guess is that the amount of these courses is over 200.
