Consultative Coaching

Lilly’s coaching approach is distinctly consultative and solution-oriented, focusing on concrete, actionable responses to the real challenges leaders and organisations face.

Her coaching programmes combine up-to-date scientific research with extensive practical experience, ensuring that insights translate into measurable impact in everyday leadership and communication.

Participant feedback includes:
“Absolutely fantastic trainer — knowledgeable, engaging, straightforward and captivating.”
“Clear, practical and immediately applicable to real leadership situations.”
“Rare ability to combine academic depth with hands-on leadership reality.”
“Empowering, insightful and genuinely transformative.”

Interpersonal communication

Communication always leaves an emotional imprint. In every interaction, we shape how others feel — consciously or not. What kind of emotional imprint do you leave?

In today’s digital environment, algorithms amplify emotions and reward intensity. Leaders therefore face a critical question: how do we communicate in a way that preserves the right emotional tone, intent and meaning across channels?

The ability to recognise and understand individual and collective emotions lies at the core of effective leadership communication and everyday interpersonal interaction. Emotional awareness is not a “soft skill” — it is a strategic capability that supports trust, clarity and cooperation.

Lilly’s coaching and training in emotionally intelligent leadership and interpersonal communication are highly regarded by participants.

The work is grounded in a strong theoretical foundation and supported by Lilly’s Level 1 training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, combining insight with practical, embodied tools for real-world leadership situations.

Leadership, Communication, and Organizational Culture

A focused, high-impact development approach that strengthens leadership and communication across the organisation within a single, integrated project. Leadership practices, decision-making clarity and communication effectiveness are addressed simultaneously, while the organisation’s communication culture is refined and recurring leadership communication challenges are systematically resolved.

Lilly has led numerous leadership and communication development initiatives for executive teams, private companies, public organisations and authorities. Confidential references and recommendations are available upon request.

Media training and presentation skills

Lilly’s signature-style performance and presence coaching supports leaders and experts in public speaking, leadership communication, media appearances and crisis communication. The coaching strengthens clarity, credibility and authority in high-visibility and high-pressure situations, including executive presentations, media interviews and strategic communication across social and digital channels.

Coaching is always highly personalised and can include advanced crisis communication scenarios and realistic simulations, enabling leaders to communicate decisively, maintain trust and lead with confidence during critical moments.

Service Design for Communication

With our methology of service design for communications, we create interesting and effective communication where the starting point is to understand the target group. With it we can genuinely acknowledge the customers view, needs and desires, values, environment, and the communication platforms that reach the customer.

Service design for communication can be used for organization’s internal as well as external communications and influencing campaigns.
