<p class="eyebrow">Hi, I'm Inga</p>
<h2>I help teams slow down at the moments that matter.</h2>
<p>For over a decade, I've supported leaders working in fast-changing and demanding contexts. My background is in leadership development, process facilitation, and coaching. I help leaders and teams slow down at critical moments to build awareness of what's driving behaviour and dynamics — so they can respond with intention and steadiness, rather than react. That supports clearer decisions, stronger relationships, and more sustainable performance over time.</p>
<p>I bring a systems-aware, trauma-informed lens to my work, paying close attention to context, power dynamics, and the emotional realities people navigate. I'm a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Team Coach (ACTC) with the International Coaching Federation, and an experienced facilitator — known for creating spaces where people can think together, work through tension, and move forward with clarity.</p>
</div>
<div class="bio-card">
<h3>What changes when we work together</h3>
<p>Through coaching, facilitation, and practical skill-building, I help teams strengthen how they <strong>think, decide, and lead together.</strong> Teams I work with typically gain:</p>
<ul class="outcomes">
<li>clearer alignment around shared purpose and goals</li>
<li>greater clarity in roles, authority, and decision-making</li>
<li>faster, more confident decisions without sacrificing buy-in</li>
<li>more productive dialogue, even when conversations are difficult</li>
<li>stronger trust and shared accountability across teams</li>
<li>performance that's sustainable, not dependent on constant effort</li>
</ul>

<p class="eyebrow">Where to start</p>
<h2>Focused, time-bound, practical.</h2>
<p class="section-intro">Every team and context is different. These starting points are designed for different moments. Not sure which fits? Start with a conversation, and we'll figure it out together.</p>
<div class="cards">
<article class="card">
<p class="when">When you want to see your team's strengths &amp; blind spots</p>
<h3>Team Pulse Check</h3>
<p>A light-touch diagnostic that helps leaders understand what's helping — and hindering — their team. Useful during growth, transition, or after a shift in roles, when the team senses something has changed but hasn't yet named it.</p>
<p class="lab">Typical outcomes</p>
<ul>
<li>Clearer understanding of what's helping and getting in the way</li>
<li>Reduced assumptions and unspoken tension</li>
<li>Agreed practical next steps the whole team owns</li>
</ul>
</article>
<article class="card">
<p class="when">When decisions are stalling</p>
<h3>Clear Decisions. Clear Ownership.</h3>
<p>When decisions keep getting revisited, ownership is unclear, or follow-through breaks down, this gets to the root of it. Not new frameworks — facilitated conversation inside a live meeting, working with your team's real decisions and priorities.</p>
<p class="lab">Format</p>
<ul>
<li>23 hour facilitated session, grounded in real decisions</li>
<li>Clearer decision pathways and stronger follow-through</li>
<li>Clear agreements and next steps at the end</li>
</ul>
</article>
<article class="card">
<p class="when">When you want to experience the work first</p>
<h3>One Meeting. Better.</h3>
<p>Sometimes the best way to know if something's worth investing in is to try it. I join one of your existing team meetings as a coach and observer — I don't run it, you do. I notice what's helping and what's getting in the way, and coach in the moment where it's useful.</p>
<p class="lab">Includes</p>
<ul>
<li>Pre-meeting conversation with the team leader</li>
<li>Live coaching presence during one real meeting</li>
<li>Debrief plus written observations and recommendations</li>
</ul>
</article>
<article class="card">
<p class="when">When pressure is high, and support is needed now</p>
<h3>30-Day Leadership Support Intensive</h3>
<p>Some moments call for immediate, focused support — not a program, just steady, skilled presence alongside the leader and team when it matters most. Blends leadership coaching with facilitation inside real team meetings.</p>
<p class="lab">Format</p>
<ul>
<li>Two 1:1 coaching conversations with the leader</li>
<li>Two facilitated team sessions inside existing meetings</li>
<li>Light follow-up to support integration</li>
</ul>

<h3>Team development in real time</h3>
<p>At Royal Roads University, I design and facilitate experiential leadership and teamwork development, coaching diverse student teams through real moments of tension, uncertainty, and decision-making — so they leave more confident, connected, and equipped to work well together under pressure.</p>
</div>
<div class="item">
<h3>Leading in complexity</h3>
<p>Alongside an Indigenous leadership team on an initiative connected to sovereignty and community well-being, we worked in a high-pressure environment with many stakeholders and deep historical and relational layers. Through trauma-aware, culturally respectful practices, we created space for reflection, honest conversation, and thoughtful pacing — supporting values-aligned decisions made together.</p>

<h2>Leadership is harder than it used to be.</h2>
<p class="section-intro">Most of the tools we rely on were built for a simpler world. After 15+ years across corporate, public-sector, nonprofit, and academic environments, my work focuses on developing awareness rather than speed — because, as Otto Scharmer puts it, the quality of results depends on the quality of awareness we operate from.</p>
<div class="principles">
<div class="principle"><h3>Connection</h3><p>The foundation for engagement, creativity, and responsibility — in relationships and in how a team collaborates.</p></div>
<div class="principle"><h3>Accountability</h3><p>Choosing how to show up with honesty, vulnerability, and clarity, rather than blame.</p></div>
<div class="principle"><h3>Curiosity</h3><p>Staying open to notice, listen, and explore — rather than assume or defend.</p></div>
</div>
<h3 style="margin-top:2.4rem">Background</h3>
<p>Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurial Management and prior small-business owner. 15+ years of coaching and facilitation across sectors. ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), with team-coaching accreditation (ACTC) and advanced facilitation training. Cross-cultural experience spanning public health, international students, and Indigenous communities — with a commitment to ongoing professional development.</p>
<p>Outside of work, you'll find me walking, biking, and dancing around Victoria, BC; spending time with my partner and two adult sons; and travelling regularly to Germany. Nature and movement are how I think and recharge.</p>
