Grounded in presencing, navigating complexity.
Understanding is not a distant gaze, but a presence—
a quiet standing within,
where meaning unfolds,
where connection takes root,
where transformation begins.
​
Navigate the complexities of presencing and sense-making with a scientific approach, and design meaningful experiences across organizational culture and 'personal' relationships.

A Scientific Method for Mapping the Deepest Layers of Self, Culture, and Meaning.
ORGANIZATIONS
MIND THE CULTURE
Just as the London Underground warns, "Mind the gap," leading systemic change requires us to "Mind the Culture."
Culture is often seen as something external—a set of traditions, behaviors, or organizational norms. But here’s the challenge: Culture is not just what surrounds us; it is what shapes us. It’s embedded in how we think, decide, and act.
Want to transform an organization, a community, or even yourself? Then mind the culture. Because culture is not a background condition—it is the hidden architecture of change.
Why is cultural transformation so difficult? Because culture is not just learned; it is lived. It operates beneath awareness, reinforcing the status quo while shaping what feels natural and unquestionable. If we don’t make culture visible, we remain trapped in it—mistaking the familiar for the inevitable.
That’s why "Mind the Culture" is more than an observation—it’s a call to action. Transformation is only possible when we step back, recognize the invisible forces at play, and design new ways of seeing, being, and relating.
Design a Culture That Doesn’t Resist Change.​​​​

INDIVIDUALS
​​MIND THE ‘Self’
​
Just as the London Underground warns, "Mind the gap," leading change requires us to "Mind the self."
Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio says, "Self Comes to Mind." You can't escape the ego, but you can witness the emerging self in your mind!
But here’s the challenge: Mindset loves the status quo. It clings to what is institutionalized, familiar, and stable. If the mindset is not truly ready for change, any transformation effort remains decorative—a surface-level shift with no real depth.
Why is mindset so difficult to change? Because it is deeply intertwined with the self—the ever-present force shaping how we perceive and respond to the world. The self is always there, continuously shaping the flow of thought and action.
That’s why "Mind the Self" is not just a phrase—it’s a critical warning. True transformation begins when we recognize this connection, making space for a self-aware, adaptive, and evolving mindset.
From Mindset to Mindflow—because change is not a thought, but an experience.

CULTURE DESIGN with ANLAMap™
How can an organization resist change?
​
Even when a strategy looks perfect on paper, as the saying goes — “culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
An organization is not a machine; it’s a living mosaic, shaped by the stories people tell themselves and each other — stories of belonging, of purpose, of why they show up every day. Each layer — each team, each unit — carries its own fragile world of meanings, born from shared experiences, silent agreements, and unspoken hopes.
If the purpose you set doesn’t speak their language — the way the French say “ça me parle”, meaning “it speaks to me” — it doesn’t just fade into the background. It leaves a quiet emptiness, a sense that something is missing, something that could have mattered.
To move with the flow of change, you first need to trace the hidden currents of collective sense-making — those subtle places where meaning takes root in the heart, and where misunderstanding quietly takes hold, not from resistance alone, but from longing to feel seen, heard, and understood.
​That’s why uncovering the hidden matrix of sense-making is essential.
​​​
This is where ANLAMap™ makes a difference. It’s not just a method — it’s a way of seeing, a way of listening to the unspoken stories that shape both individuals and organizations. It uncovers the deepest layers of meaning, tracing the invisible threads where purpose either takes root or quietly unravels.
​
For Individuals: ANLAMap™ helps reveal the hidden narratives shaping personal and professional identity — the silent agreements, the forgotten aspirations, the questions we no longer ask. By bringing these to light, it helps individuals align their actions with a deeper, more authentic sense of purpose.
​
For Organizations: The most critical misalignments between what an organization says it stands for and how people actually experience it are rarely loud — they live in the quiet moments, the small decisions, the everyday routines. ANLAMap™ makes these moments visible and gives leaders the insight to turn misalignment into meaning.
​
Ritualizing Meaningful Moments: Some moments hold more weight than others — they are thresholds where meaning and experience meet. These moments define not only personal growth, but also the collective heartbeat of an organization’s culture. ANLAMap™ helps individuals and organizations design rituals for these moments, ensuring that meaning isn’t left to chance — it’s intentionally woven into the fabric of daily life.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

INTER-STANDING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
A World's First!
What do you do when you want to understand a problem, a person, or relations? Have you noticed that life is fundamentally built upon understanding?
We move forward in life based on how much we truly understand. The deeper our understanding, the better our journey—and the more companions we gather along the way.
Understanding is not just about mental comprehension; it’s a profound skill that encompasses the relational realm.
Who is it for?
This program is designed for leaders, professionals, and researchers who want to:
-
Start by understanding themselves, and then expand that understanding to their teams, organizations, and cultures.
-
Make sense of societal shifts, global dynamics, and technological transformations, including AI.
-
Navigate complexity with clarity and insight, designing the future through deeper understanding.
Whether you’re a:
-
Team Leader aiming to build deeper connections and stronger collaboration within your team,
-
Coach or Consultant supporting leaders in their personal and professional growth journeys,
-
Researcher or Scientist seeking innovative ways to understand complex social phenomena and create meaningful insights,
-
Professional exploring your own leadership path, or
-
Change-maker seeking meaningful communication and impactful relationships...
This program helps you activate your superpower of understanding — not just for personal growth, but to create meaningful experiences and positive change in your environment.
Dare to Inter-stand
Dance with Meaning
In this program, you’ll embark on a journey to master the art of understanding—not just as a concept, but as a way of being. You’ll move beyond conventional thinking, bridging meaning and action in a way that feels deeply aligned, purposeful, and alive.
Consulting and Training for Meaningful Change
As a sociologist and methodologist with over 20 years of experience, I bring not only expertise in culture analysis, narrative analysis, and impact research, but also the power of sociological imagination — the ability to see the invisible threads connecting individual stories to larger systems, and fleeting moments to long-term patterns of change.
With a systemic lens and a complexity mindset, I help uncover the deep patterns that shape cultures, drive transformation, and reveal the often-hidden spaces where meaning takes root.
​
Here’s how we can work together:
-
Customized Research Frameworks: Tailored approaches to explore cultural dynamics, organizational narratives, and systemic impact — designed specifically for your context.
-
Workshops and Training: Interactive and reflective spaces where teams build skills in data analysis, strategy development, and innovative research methods — all infused with relational and systemic thinking.
-
IDG & SDG Integration: Aligning your projects with Inner Development Goals (IDGs) — the inner capabilities essential for sustainable development — and connecting them to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure your efforts contribute to global well-being.
-
AI and Scientific Methodology for Social Scientists: Supporting social science researchers in understanding and applying AI-enhanced methodologies, helping them navigate the transformation of research practices in the age of artificial intelligence.
-
AI and Technological Transformation: Not just using tools, but building meaningful relationships with technology, ensuring that sense-making and wisdom guide digital transformation.
​
My goal is to help organizations not only navigate complexity, but to develop the cultural intelligence, relational awareness, and ethical clarity to design change that is sustainable, meaningful, and deeply connected to who you are.
Let’s work together to turn data into dialogue, strategy into story, and vision into meaningful action.
