My name is Carla Maria Verwer. I am a specialist in Interaction Patterns & Collaboration, with a focus on psychological safety and well-being in the workplace. I support teams and their leaders to work towards a safer and more inclusive team culture. I have experiences an academic and technical context and offer (mainly) training and support in English.
I am a member of
- NOBCO – Dutch order of Professional Coaches – Executive and team Coach
- LVV – National Association for Confidentiality Persons – Confidentiality Person
I am regularly described as perceptive, determined and light-hearted. And courageous. An equal and astute interlocutor who moves along when adequate, invites different perspectives on the table, and remains steadfast if this is more constructive to set the situation in motion in the desired direction.
I have a background as an Internal Communication Advisor & Community Art Theatre Maker [www.theaterpraktijk.nl]. I am trained and experienced in opening up conversations in complex situations: in opening up alternative outlooks as a way forward in situations that seem stuck. I easily move between different layers of an organization. Getting in touch with what’s going on by sometimes actively offering an impulse, lecture or working method, sometimes by having a coffee and open up a conversation. First move along and then connect or push back. For example.
Always with the underlying and guiding end goal in mind: which could be a contribution to shaping a strategy or mission, or to the ‘act of participation of all’ for example. How do people who are less likely to be heard or seen also get to speak up, participate and become visible ? In a safer climate, all people matter ánd participate: in dialogue and through dialogue.
