creative leadership workshops

Funke Staeuble

I've spent most of my career in the midst of complexity, leading diverse international teams, navigating change, and discovering what it really takes to motivate people. What I observed repeatedly, is that the most transformative moments rarely come from a new framework or structure. They come when people are given the space and support to be genuinely creative.

That insight changed the way I work. Today I combine professional coaching with expressive arts. Using imagery, storytelling, and writing to help individuals and teams creatively access new perspectives, lead more authentically, and move forward with purpose.

I work with people who are open to step out of conventional paths for a different experience.

creativity coaching for teams

Dies van der Sande

I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years, which means I know firsthand what it takes to keep reinventing yourself, stay curious, and find new ways forward when the path isn't clear. Change hasn't just been a theme in my work. It's been a constant in my life.

That experience shapes everything I do as a coach, consultant, and workshop facilitator. I believe creativity and communication are at the heart of how people grow and how teams truly come alive. My approach is personal and practical: I meet people where they are, whether that's a team navigating a difficult transition or an individual searching for more clarity and direction in work and life.

Because change, when met with curiosity, can become one of the most exciting things that happens to you.
