Program Manager

Tiensivu Coaching

I mostly work with professionals who are doing well in their current lives but have that nagging feeling of: "I really want something to change, but I'm not quite sure what it is... I am ready for something new but I don’t want to throw away all the hard work over the years."

I might be the right coach for you if...
A. You hate questions like: Tell me about yourself? What do you do? What do you want in life?
B. You only really know what you don’t want.
C. You're doing well on paper but ask yourself if this was really "it".

Throughout the coaching sessions and in bespoke in-between session exercises, you'll be reflecting on who you are, discovering who you wish to become and implementing concrete strategies to get there.

Good Innovation

Good Innovation works with charities and companies to create lasting relationships with their supporters. My role as an Innovation Consultant was to plan, manage and run innovation projects in collaboration with our clients. 

The projects consisted of coaching internal interdisciplinary teams in innovation (both with the methodology and the mindset). As well as researching, testing, designing and evaluating new services and products to disrupt their current product portfolios. The aim in all projects was to find the sweet spot between internal assets, the charity mission and market potential to make sure these organisations can keep funding their lifesaving work in the future.

As a Service Designer at Exove I worked in close collaboration with the clients, the developers and other designers in the team.

My role consisted of using and iterating on the best methods for designing and gathering insights from all stakeholders in order to create holistic services to fulfil people’s needs and carry out company strategy. In designing digital services I used a variety of design and research methods from interviews and workshops to prototyping and testing concepts to make sure that the UX and service promise for the customers can be fulfilled with a matching set of thoughtfully designed internal processes. 

To create change with digital tools, I start and end with the people who end up using them.

One of my favourite parts of shifting over to Purpose Driven AI are these podcast conversations. Even if sometimes they open up more questions than answers… 🙈 


Thank you so much Lavinia Yosub (Iosub) for joining, and there are at least a few more conversations in the horizon where this came from!

✨ Purpose Driven AI 👉 Implementing Life-Centric AI 🌎 Location Independent Founder of purposedriven.ai & The Four Languages 💫

Founder Livit Hub Bali & Remote Skills Academy | Built one of Asia’s Best Workplaces | Top Future of Work Innovator ’24 | Venture Builder & Angel Investor | AI-fluent, but heretic

Thoroughly enjoyed talking to Maaria Tiensivu from Purpose Driven AI about 
➡️ responsible AI
➡️ what we do at Livit  & Remote Skills Academy to shape intentional and discerning AI use in our team
➡️ how to turn AI into a massive lever and enhancer of our humanity (rather than fighting the losing battle of competing with it)
➡️ what skills to invest in to future-proof our careers - and more importantly, to enjoy our work and lives more.
Can't wait for the episode to come out!

Our first podcast is live, and I feel so grateful to kick it off with this amazing conversation with Íñigo Cavestany Villegas. In this episode we talked how responsibility changes shape with AI, and what it means for builders. 👇


My main takeaway from the session was to not only ask ourselves “what can this technology do?” but “what are the risks, and how can we prevent harm?” 

Ìñigo offered a beautiful approach for reversing the usual planning process by starting it out with potential downsides to find the boundaries for ethical innovation.

It reminds me of the IKEA approach AKA designing from the limitations of space, price, and materials. 

With AI, the possibilities are almost limitless, so it’s even more important to consider all the ways our creations might be used (or misused). By doing this, we can build safer, more trustworthy solutions.

Ultimately, the value and impact of AI will depend on the intentions, ethics, and accountability of those who shape it. Now that anyone *can* build with AI, we need to consciously educate ourselves (and others) about the responsibilities that come with creation.

Do you consider the potential "harm" when creating with AI? Or are you solely focusing on the positive outcomes? How might exploring the dark side of AI make your designs better?

Han Talbot, also known online as Han Meets World, is a remote lifestyle content creator and host of The Remote Life Podcast: a show with a mission to empower people to live their remote life dreams. Originally from the UK, Han has been living and working remotely on-off since 2013 when she was studying for a year in Brazil (and received a grant to create content about her experience).

From events to campaigns, Han has built insights from both a marketer and content creator perspective since 2015. In 2016, she created Han Meets World, a website now dedicated to content about the remote lifestyle and finding places to work around the world. Which has led to her participation in pilot digital nomad programmes with Digital Nomad Association Croatia and Digital Nomads Herzegovina. And creating content for long stay and digital nomad tourism campaigns with Costa Del Sol, Experience Dubrovnik and more.

In 2022, Han was selected for the inaugural UK LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Programme to produce content about digital nomad life and tourism; and has also been quoted in publications such as Lonely Planet. She frequently works with tourism boards and remote brands to bring the remote lifestyle to life, including a recent trip to Istanbul with Go Türkiye to celebrate the launch of their Digital Nomad Visa.

Her newest venture is The Remote Creatives: a destination resource and community for remote creative entrepreneurs and content creators. The monthly newsletter of 600+ subscribers began in 2023, and will soon launch more content and experiences.

Could the next remote industry phase be: work from anywhere… and with anyone, that feels aligned? ✨

This week I had the pleasure of meeting Ali Greene IRL for the first time, in my hometown of all places, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her, her work and hypothesising for the future of the space 😄

A couple of the many things I took away from our discussions were that this lifestyle is never lonely when you’re around similar minded people. And the spaces that we meet and work from are just as relevant as ever 👀

I’m calling it that the next phase of successful businesses and events are those that are mindful of these two things ✌️

Ps. There are still spots available in The Remote Creatives Community, if you’re looking for mindful and motivated remote creatives to connect and thrive with. Comment FOUNDER below and I’ll send you the deets! ⭐️

[press] Pinch me, I'm dreaming! The Remote Creatives and The Remote Life will be heading to Web Summit Lisbon in a couple of weeks 😍 

Throughout the week, I'll be hosting 10 minute podcasts, and creating other content, so if this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, send an email with a one or two liner story pitch to han@theremotecreatives.com 🎙️

I'm especially looking for stories and takes on:
💻 Future of flexible work and business
💼 Creative business stories
✈️ Long stay tourism and slow travel
👀 Anything that could be of interest to experienced remote lifers

I can't wait to (re)connect with the community and to see what this awesome event has to offer! This will also be my first #WebSummit, so if you have any tips for me I'd love to hear them! 😍 

See you there! 🎉

👋 Hey, I'm Han and I've been on-off remote for over a decade, helping brands scale their businesses through authentic messaging and storytelling. 

🌸 I'm also building The Remote Creatives to empower creative careers and businesses in remote spaces. 

🎙️ I also chat all things remote work, lifestyle and tourism via The Remote Life Podcast.

You, me and a coffee (a tea, or something stronger) at WTM London this year? 😁 

There's just something about coming together IRL as a community and industry that I love ☺️ If you're heading to Travel Massive on Monday or are around at the #WTMLondon event on Tuesday, I'd love to re(connect)! I'm also thinking about doing a little last minute meet up for The Remote Creatives... comment if you'd be interested in this 👀

Things I might not have seen through without a support system:

💁‍♀️ My personal brand Han Meets World
🎧 The Remote Life Podcast
💻 The Remote Creatives (and what it has become)

Amongst other amazing opportunities I've had the privilege to be a part of. The idea of a support system isn't to have a hammer coming down on you, but to be accountable to your own goals and dreams with some support from peers who also get it ⭐ 

I've spent the best part of a decade working with accountability partners, and now I want to extend the process to you. There are still some founder spaces available on the monthly accountability circle, if you're interested in joining here's a refresher on what it includes:

📱Private WhatsApp group
💻 Monthly virtual co-working session (which we're starting next week)
🤝 Accountability groups matched by goals
📰 Exclusive monthly newsletter content
☕ First access to IRL meetups
🎉 And more to come!

If you'd like to secure the founder price of £29 a month, comment FOUNDER and I'll send you the details! ✨

[press] What if leaders stopped focussing on whether to bring people back to the office or not, and actually took a look at the culture they were building instead? 🧐 

During #SiftedSummit last week, Ryan Jans hosted a fantastic roundtable on what it looked like to be building an office space that people want to come back to, and culture came up. Although there was ultimately no one answer fits all solution during the conversation, it was incredibly insightful. I came away wondering what would happen if leaders actually thought more about culture and were a bit more flexible about their workers' needs. Would people maybe come back to the office, or designated cowork space, more? 🏢 

In 2025, we have a lot more options available to us and no one way of business necessarily needs to look the same. Fantastic products and teams like e-Residency, for example, not only create more straightforward routes into EU markets and investment opportunities, but also to talent and a general community across the globe 🌍 

During Sifted Summit, it was great to be reminded of what is possible with an e-Residency card from Ülane Vilumets, and how the team creates an amazing community culture for remote lifers like myself both on and offline. I've had my card for two years, and I do feel like I'm a part of something in the same way I would perhaps hope to feel when working in a team with an office (definitely check this out)! 🙌 

I feel some podcast content coming on related to all of this, but on a final note for the time being, I'm excited for the possibilities these more meaningful conversations could lead to creating! What do you think? 🎙️ 

Ps. A shout out to the Sifted team for a fantastic event, with a special shout out to Shahnaz Maktabi for showing me the ropes! And lastly, for my remote life community, I highly recommend pencilling this event in for 2026 😊
