Professional & Team development

When development feels fragmented

Development rarely happens in isolation.
It takes shape in daily work, in interaction with others.

Yet for many professionals and teams, development feels fragmented.

• Reflection stays personal and implicit.
• Team conversations remain abstract.
• Portfolios are filled, but not really used.
• Change is discussed, but does not quite land in practice.

Not because people lack motivation.
But because connections between personal growth, collaboration and everyday work are missing.

Connecting personal development, collaboration and change

This is where I work with professionals, teams and leaders in higher education and professional organisations. This often includes supporting educators in developing their teaching practice — for example in didactic choices, reflective practice, and the use of teaching portfolios to articulate growth and quality.

Together, we look closely at how development currently takes shape.
In individual practice.
In teams.
And in the wider context of change.

Personal development becomes more explicit and more meaningful.
For example through reflective practice, portfolios or structured dialogue.
Not as an administrative requirement, but as a way to articulate growth and make development visible.

For many educators, this means gaining language and confidence to talk about their teaching, make deliberate didactic choices, and present their development in portfolios or professional reviews — in ways that feel meaningful rather than performative.

At the same time, we connect this personal work to shared questions.
About collaboration.
About direction.
And about how people actually take change into their daily work.

What changes when we work together

After working together, development tends to feel more coherent.

• Professionals are clearer about their own growth and choices
• Reflection becomes more focused and purposeful
• Portfolios support learning, rather than just documenting it
• Teams share a stronger sense of direction
• Development is recognised and valued, individually and together

Development no longer sits alongside the work.
It becomes part of how people reflect, collaborate and move forward.

How I work

My work focuses on professional development in connection with team and organisational development.
On how individuals grow, how teams learn to work together, and how change takes shape in practice.

I bring experience with reflective practice, portfolio-based development, educational leadership and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Over the years, I have worked with professionals and teams in a wide range of roles and contexts, supporting development that had to make sense in everyday work.

Everything happens in co-creation:

• we start from your questions and everyday practice
• we work with existing structures, such as portfolios or team routines
• we create space to reflect and make sense of experience
• we translate insights into concrete next steps

I work alongside professionals, teams and leaders as a thinking partner.
Having led and supported development processes myself, I am familiar with the tensions that come with reflection, assessment, time pressure and change.
Helping connect personal development to shared work and organisational change.

The aim is not development as an extra task.
It is development that is meaningful, visible and sustainable over time.
