From a Charming Finnish Village to Vibrant Berlin
Spreading Positive Change,
One Leader and Team at a Time
Greetings! I'm Venla, and my journey unfolds from a charming Finnish village to the vibrant tapestry of Berlin.
As my restless legs led me across various corners of Finland and later the globe, Berlin became my vibrant home—a place where cultures blend, and ideas thrive.
In my 15+ years of diverse experiences, I've navigated roles across industries, from customer service to product management, communications to orchestrating 3000+ people corporate events worldwide. For the past 6+ years, I've focused on the HR field, delving into leadership development, employee experience, engagement, organizational development, and L&D. My goal has always been to foster trust-based environments where every individual feels valued, engaged, and equipped to shine.
In this whirlwind of roles and cultures, I unearthed my genuine passion: empowering founders and team leads to excel and fostering a profound positive impact within their teams. My mission is to help team leads embrace their authentic selves and create environments for teams to collaborate, work autonomously, learn, and grow—cherishing the diverse strengths and personalities that enrich our world.
I firmly believe work should be more than a place we go; it should be a source of fulfillment, making those hours meaningful.
Join me on this exciting journey towards a workplace where you and your teams not only succeed but truly thrive.
Let's make every day at work a meaningful one.
If you resonate with my journey or seek support in your leadership endeavors, let's connect.
Book a call with me, and let's start shaping your success story together.
Venla 😊
