I am an optimistic person who thinks smile is sometimes worth more than any word.

This attitude has often helped me to make the best out of life. I am able to consider, understand and analyse situations from many perspectives, and also found the system in the chaos.

As a finance specialist, not only I find the system in the world of numbers, but I also provide safety and support my colleagues so they can focus on their tasks. Focusing on small details and giving unnoticed solution to their everyday tasks makes their work fluent. Being a valuable and integral part of a good team is a reward in itself and encourages me to grow. The work environment at OP Partner that is built on trust and communication, helps me doing my job responsibly and efficiently and contributing to the success of the company.

The family is the centre of my life. My husband and I guide our two sons to find their way in their lives and in the world of social relationships, letters and numbers. We are trying to answer to their uncountable questions in order to satisfy their unending desire for knowledge.

What makes me relaxed: family, making cookies, nature, gathering experiences together and last but not least, being together and for each other.

Credo

I started to study organization development during my university years and we can say that it was “love at the first sight”, which was fulfilled in 2022 when after 6 years spent at a multinational company I became an organization development consultant at the OD Partner Kft. - since then I honestly think that organization development is my calling and true passion. Being courageous, taking responsibility and system thinking are the most important values for me, that also serve as elemental building blocks of my professional identity. Besides these, as a trainer I believe in the power of connection, brainstorming and positive atmosphere (plus humor) and how these influence our learning curve in a positive way. When holding a training it is extremely important to me that the participants gather mindset- and belief-changing experiences.

Professional interest

While being a person who is and can be interested in basically anything and everything, organization diagnosis projects are still definitely at the top of my list, especially the ones conducted via qualitative & semi-structured personal interviews. I honestly believe that by following this methodology, colleagues are more likely to feel the so-called “sense of urgency” - the existence of this intention plays a crucial role in challenging the status quo in any organization. Besides diagnosis projects, I’m very interested in agile transformations, people-focused change management methodologies and learning organizations as well.

Personal

I’m someone who is open-minded, energetic and very social, while being a real “extroverted introvert”. In my free time I love spending time with our family’s two cats and dogs, taking a nice nap while watching a funny sitcom and I would never miss an opportunity to travel and to have a nice brunch with great people together (preferably at the same time). Besides these I’m striving to follow a healthy lifestyle - it works already in theory, the practical implementation is work in progress. 

Credo

Following 14 years of HR and executive experience I have decided to continue my life and career as an organizational development consultant at the end of 2008. Since then several things have changed in and around me, however, there are things that I don’t want to forget: my faith in the HR profession and that ”everyone has the right to be well led” (as one of my previous leaders have told me). Systemic approach is important for me because I believe that it creates the frames where everyone can find their place and the best way to support oneself, a team or the organization in reaching their goals.  At the same time I also believe that should we not work with the individual, their goals, resources and dilemmas, then the systems and structures become meaningless, rigid obstacles. 

Professional expericence:

Since 2008 I have worked on whole-organizational culture change process, cooperation development in matrix organization; I supported HR organizations in professional issues to introduce new systems and to cooperate with leaders in these situations. I work on individual coaching processes and I support teams to work together in order to achieve common goals. I believe and hope that my clients learn and experience in these situations at least as much as I do.

In my "previous life", I built up and downsized a company, I developed, introduced and "rationalized" systems, I have led a team of 2 and an organization of 30. I worked in Hungarian and international environment; I had one and three leaders; I experienced the constructive and destructive effect of the multicultural environment.

Private/Other:
I had been free, soaring and helpless. I experienced the consequences and releasing power of my decisions. And I also experienced that travel is a must for me…

Credo
I work as a consultant because I want to have an impact on others and myself. I want to become who I am.more and more. This is what I can support others with. What I love the most is to contribute to taking responsibility in everyone’s own life. In each difficult situation, in each conflict there is the realization: I am responsible for my life.

Professional interest and background:

I want to support every change process that is managed by a leader who really wants something, who  is committed to the truth and who doesn’t stop, even when s/he realizes that s/he is part of the problem as well. I prefer to work with senior leaders/senior management, because their personal change has the greatest impact on their organization.

My most important professional inspiration:

1. 1. Supervision - I lead/manage individual and team coaching processes as a supervisor. Since 2000 I’ve worked with more than 200 leaders in individual or team processes.
2. 2. Experiental learning - as an outdoor trainer, I often create challenging situations for groups. These shared experiences are inexhaustible sources of learning.
3. 3. Gestalt – here and now.

About me

In my job, I can seek and represent the truth, and take risks because there is a place where I can start from and always return to: my family.

I am from Angyalföld. I always say this when I swear or say something roughly or directly. Instead of professionals books, I am inspired by literature, movies and conversations with friends.
I run, snowboard and do yoga.

Credo

My most important goal is to support groups and individuals in working more openly, honestly and personally. To be able to develop, we have to say if we do not know something and we have to find out that our knowledge, convictions and beliefs are never unquestionable. The more often we question them and the more often we are open to novelties, the more we move forward. The cynicism of my twenties has been replaced by a more positive and constructive approach, lately I am most excited about using Appreciative Inquiry in supporting organizational change processes. Generally, in my work and in my private life, it is becoming increasingly important for me to notice and utilize strengths - at least as much as to solve problems.

Professional experience

I have been working as a consultant at OD Partner since 2000. In the past few years I mostly like to manage complex organizational development projects, talent programs and individual and group coaching processes. I prefer to work in situations where I can work in long-term customer relationship and in a good atmosphere of trust.

Private

There is a part of everyday life that is nothing special, everyday routine: making dinner, dinner with family, reading a tale, sending the kid to bed.The best days are those, when I can live the magic of these things too. I seem to be extroverted, but it feels good when I can focus inward in my free time. I passionately love reading, if I have no time for it, I listen to audiobooks in the car. Allegedly, who can play bridge will not have a problem when retired - I do not know that, but I really love this game, especially with my customary, beloved partners.

Credo
I love to create situations that potentially involve learning and development: for both myself and others around me.
I work by crossing borders, focusing on solutions, by experiential, indoor and outdoor methods. I love to discover what goes beyond the habits, traditions, and patterns of the past. I believe, that change comes from the topics and questions which creates strong emotional reactions within. This is where we find our motivation and our energy to shape our behavior, our decisions, our self.

About my professional work
I came from the field of social work professional to the world of organization development and trainings- constantly looking for better and more effective development methods. At the beginning I’ve worked with youth with behavior problems, then with professional youth workers, later with leaders, managemments, then supporting complex organizational transformations.
I used to work in the non-profit sector, working with civil organizations then approaching the business world. If I look at my own professional journey, extreme outdoor experiences and methods are blended with solution-oriented coaching: strong experiences with strong questions.

About me
I believe in crossing our borders, which I experience through rock climbing. This is a flow experience when I stretch my own borders, where the next step is at your fingertips and nothing else is important, nothing else exists.
I'm looking for impulses, connections, to others, to the world, to myself. I enjoy the process of any development, my own, and others too, so I occasionally continue to work with non-profit clients as well.

Credo
I believe in naturalness and freedom, which to me means that we feel good and perform well  if we were able to be who we really are. Therefore  I try to create situations where everyone can be oneself and where we work with reality, even if it is hard, stressful or on the contrary, light and easy for me and my clients.

About my professional work
All kinds of  experiences and knowledge shaped the way I work now. Before I started to work with OD Partner in 2013, I had been working for years in Hungarian and international non-profit organizations in educational and cultural fields  as a trainer and developer. I  supported families living on subsistance wage; international artists and performing arts groups; business executives and various functional groups of market leader organizations  - all in change processes.

In OD Partner, I work as an individual- and team coach, and trainer. I work mainly with leaders, but I also like to work with employee groups. I consider myself a consultant with a systemic approach, so I work with interactions and how things and people impact each other. During my work, I largly rely on the methodology of experiential learning, which I learned at Hungarian and international (USA, Portugal) courses.

About me:

Art and creation are parts of my life, both as a creator and as a member of the audience. I play on stringed and percussion instruments as an amateur and I like live concerts and theater.

I am the father of two girls which is the greatest learning course and the most important source of joy in my life.

Credo

As a consultant I would like to help individuals and groups to become capable of telling themselves why they do what they do. I believe it is always possible to create ways of workings that everyone finds acceptable and are efficient. I work to help others believe in this and implement these new ways. I enjoy bringing closer people who have percieved or real distances between them, because better understanding of each other contributes to better performance, a better sense of well-being and even a better world.

Professional interest, background

It had a great impact on me when I realized around the age of 17 that we can learn not only in school, but also from each other, from our own experience and through understanding the world around us. Since then, I have been working on the development of people through team work. I think it is important to understand the individual’s viewpoint too, so I am constantly working on deepening my knowledge of the related methods. My work is most pleasurable to me when we can attend to the development of both the individuals' and the groups' and when I can pass on to my clients my conviction that good performance and well-being are mutually supportive pillars.

Private

Yoga always reminds me of the essence of continuous development in small steps. I can experience the joy of creation in my work and by cooking. Active social life and being alone and focus inward are equally important for me. I like to remind myself of the diversity of the world, the best way to do this is travelling and sometimes doing something very different than in everyday life. Therefore, sometimes I work in the non -profit sector and in event management.

Credo: 

Létezésem fontos eleme az egyensúly, a belső szabadság, és önazonos jelenlét.

Ez a hármas értékrend a tanácsadói munkámban is jellemző rám. Akkor vagyunk jól, ha testi-lelki-szellemi egyensúlyban vagyunk. Akkor tudunk örülni az életnek és kreatívak lenni, ha megvan a belső szabadságunk arra, hogy – megfelelések helyett – saját választásunk és utunk is legyen. És akkor teremtünk igazi értéket, ha tudunk és merünk önmagunkhoz hűen – de a környezettel is egyensúlyban – élni. Ebben hiszek, és ezt szeretném támogatni mind az egyének, mind a szervezetek életében.

Szakmai munkámról:

Sokféle szemlélet, módszer és általam nagyra tartott (szak)ember formált és alakított utamon. Szervezetek fejlesztésénél nagy tapasztalatot adott, hogy dolgoztam multinacionális vállaltoknál a HR többféle területén, támogattam az üzleti vezetőket belső coachként és trénerként, és részt vettem számtalan nemzetközi projektben. Nonprofit szférában évekig dolgoztam oktatási és kulturális területen tanárként, és tehetségműhelyekben, illetve hazai és külföldi alapítványoknál, ahol sajátos nevelési igényű gyerekekkel is foglalkoztam.

Az embert és a szervezeteket holisztikusan, rendszerszemléletben és az egészlegességre való törekvéssel nézem. Ezért tanácsadói és coach munkámban is holisztikus megközelítésű módszerek mentén dolgozom. Ötvözöm a Gestalt coaching, Testtudat fókuszú- és képi kifejeződésen alapuló művészetterápiát, a zeneterápiát, az imaginatív és relaxációs technikákat; a történetmesélést, meseterápiát; tapasztalati élmény útján való tanulást.

Magamról:

Életem fontos része a zene és a művészetek; zongoristaként több mint 20 évet töltöttem művészek, zenészek, színészek között, napi 6 óra gyakorlással, próbákkal, örömökkel, kudarcokkal, „sosemfelejtemel” pillanatokkal. Valahogy sosem a taps volt ebben a fontos, hanem az ezzel járó felejthetetlen mélységek és lelki tapasztalások, az együtt-zenélések, az önismereti út, és a sok-sok értékes művész, akiket megismertem utamon.

Szeretek utazni, világot látni, a természettel együtt lélegezni. Ez utóbbi azt jelenti, hogy rendszeresen vadkempingezem az Alpokban, ahol nincs térerő, nincs térkép, csak a tiszta hegyek és türkízkék tavak; ilyenkor az adott nap spontán pillanatai, érzései és döntései határozzák meg a következő úticélt. Ilyenkor érzem igazán szabadnak magam, és azt, hogy milyen jó élni!

Földi létem egyensúlyában fontos a materiális világon túli – megfoghatatlan – világ. Ezért rendszeresen járok csendkurzusokra Pannonhalmára, Dobogókőre a Manrézába, az osztrák bencésekhez és jógás elvonulásokra. Ebben nem „irányzatokat” követek, hanem az Egységbe rendeződést, és önmagam folyamatos belső, önismereti munkáját.

Credo
I was never satisfied with „what is” – not since my teenage years.. I believed and I still believe that it could be different, it could be better. My aim is to help people, couples, groups, organizations or society to be better, to be different. I like to see in everything, in everyone, what it can become: the potential, the chance. And I like to help in realizing these. I like it even more when I see somebody reach his/her limits or even exceed them. (In this way, limits can become take-off points.) And I like to help in these: to pay attention, to be present, to reflect, to support, to accept where she/he is on his/her way and to provide those conditions which are necessary to unfold his/her own internal resources, with increasing awareness and self-knowledge. I believe the organization is determined by its own internal conditions and its interaction with the surrounding environment. I think we can help its flowering the most with acceptance and with an attitude that perceives its needs. We can not set a straight path for it- as there is no straight path- but we can support it to find its own optimal way and process of development.
