Academic interests
I have defended my doctoral dissertation ”Advancing coaching for leadership development: Coaching as an enabler of learning and well-being in local and global organizations” at Hanken School of Economics in Finland in 2023.
In my research I aim to deepen scholarly and practitioner understanding of how coaching enables leadership development beyond mainstream coaching forms and organizational contexts, and contribute to more inclusive leadership development. In particular, I examine innovative coaching forms such as intercultural leadership coaching, peer coaching and climate coaching. I explore them in understudied organizational contexts of self-managing organizations, international NGOs, and green transition organizations.
