I participated in Heli's Leadership Through the Lens workshop. I found the film method to be an effective and engaging way to demonstrate various ways to influence. It was very inspiring to find so many insightful examples of leadership moments in the film! Followed by 1:1 coaching session, I now have concrete actions I will apply in my working life.
- Annika Astola, Business Development Manager
The biggest takeaway for me in the Leadership Through the Lens workshop was seeing how the ethical use of power analysis creates access and influence. The power-mapping framework we used and highly-rated movie as a shared reference point made the concepts relatable to real organizational situations, as in building a buyer persona in sales, translated to internal leadership and influence.

Professional coaching at the time when I stepped into a new role and was in a challenging position forming a completely new team, helped me to build the team in a way that has paid off as trust, and as effective teamwork with aligned goals. Heli helped me to grow as an empowering leader, and as a result I was able to get the team to work towards targeted business results faster. After 5 months our team has received lots of positive feedback from different departments inside the company - the common goals, motivation and positivity is showing also to others!

Heli is a very helpful business coach especially for new entrepreneurs. Her in-depth knowledge and experience in the aspects of marketing, promotion and branding helped me in my own discovery on how to launch and promote my online services. She made me think deeply about how I want to be known and recognised by my potential clients, and the look and feel of my website. Heli also gave very practical tips and advice on how to build up a brand. It is obvious from her dedication that she wants her clients to thrive and achieve their goals.
