Research. Dialogue. Practical Insight.
Workshops & Invited Lectures
I bring research into conversation with the challenges people and organizations face. Through invited lectures, workshops, webinars, and panel discussions, I explore international business, sustainability, resilience, and mindful leadership. My approach connects academic insight with practical reflection, creating space for audiences to exchange ideas and consider new ways of working, leading, and adapting to change.
