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.

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?

💥 Founder of remoteworkadvocate.com 🌍 MBA, LLM 📚 Book Author "How to tackle hybrid working?", Conference Speaker 🚀

Welcome - it's a great pleasure to e-meet you here! 😉👋

My name is Nadia and I advocate for a better & more flexible future of work!🙌 WHY? Because everyone deserves a fair chance to work for a great company, no matter where they come from or live. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I owe my entire career to remote work. It worked out for me & want it to work out for others. It's that simple. 🎈

I strongly believe that the 9 to 5 model belongs in the industrial era. 
👉 Performance over presence. 
👉 Data over bias.
👉 Innovation over outdated working patterns.
👉 Change over comfort zones. 
👉 Possibilities over unjustified limitations.
👉 Technology & AI-powered workflows.

The world of work needs systemic changes! 💪

I'll be honoured if you decide to follow me! 🔔 

I promise to keep sharing numerous remote and hybrid work hints so that more and more people learn about it and get inspired! 👌🌍

What are my major areas of expertise?  🎯

I advocate for companies that foster flexible working models. My area of expertise includes:

💡 Implementing remote work infrastructures in both remote-first and hybrid companies.

💡 Designing remote work legal solutions - both short-term working (workation) abroad and “working from anywhere” policies.

💡 Ensuring that workers are hired in a compliant manner all over the world (employees and contractors), I help mitigate the "employment misclassification" risk.

💡 Driving company culture and overall business success in flexible working envrionments.

💡 Implementing employee-friendly business environments that promote performance over presence thanks to AI solutions.

No, my life isn’t a vacation. It’s the result of refusing to live by someone else’s definition of “professional.” 😉

What I’m doing here has never been about random travel shots or pretty backdrops. It’s about showing that THERE IS ANOTHER WAY to build a career - one that isn’t linear, predictable, or trapped inside someone else’s idea of what “serious work” should look like. 🙄

Behind what I share, there’s a lot most people don’t see - client calls across time zones, complex compliance and employment law challenges in different countries, company restructures with difficult decisions, and AI projects that transform how businesses operate. 📊📈🚀📝

That’s the REAL part of my work. But it just doesn’t need to happen in a suit or inside a glass office under fluorescent lights. ✋

You see... I don’t believe in trading creativity for conformity, or purpose for someone else’s version of success. ⛔️

Professionalism isn’t a building. It’s also not a dress code. It’s simply not a straight line. It’s the ability to create impact anywhere, in your own way. 🔥

So, when people ask what it is that I’m doing here... this is it. I’m proving that you can build a powerful, global, high-impact career and still live beautifully, freely and intentionally. And yes - if I suddenly feel like going to the opera after work, I do it. If I want to drink espresso with a view in between calls, I do it.
If I want to chase the sun when the rest of Europe starts getting cold - I go. Because that’s the point. 💃
 
Work shouldn’t shrink your life - it should expand it. Even if some people will look at you with disbelief. They’ll think it’s luck, or timing, or something they could never have. ...But it’s none of that. It’s choice, design and hard work. 💪

No alternative text description for this image

Call it luck or alignment... but once again, I found a place that defines what “working from somewhere beautiful” really means. ✨

I’ve been working from one of the most inspiring and colorful spots these past few weeks. I posted a picture on my Instagram account, and the owner - an Italian architect - saw it. 📷 She reached out, invited me for coffee, and asked if we maybe could collaborate. 😉

You know that feeling when you look at someone, exchange two sentences, and instantly know they’ve got that spark... that rare mix of passion, precision, and vision that turns ideas into reality? That’s her. She’s originally from Sicily but lived in Lisbon and Milan... and honestly, if someone lived in Milan, that’s all I need to know. 😌

I’ve been lucky enough to stay in one of the penthouses. It's the kind of space that makes you forget you’re technically here to work. 💻

Every detail here carries the woman's touch. The walls are painted with natural Etna pigments, the furniture comes from Sicilian flea markets, and each apartment has its own colors, story, and mood. 

She told me that social media isn’t her strength, but that my content inspired her, which honestly was a very kind compliment. So I told her I’d share what she’s built, because when someone creates something this special, it deserves to be seen. 🔥🔥🔥

If you ever come to Sicily and value beauty, good energy, amazing food, wine, and sunshine - Casa d’Aria is your place! Show her some love if you appreciate people who still create beauty with soul. ❤️ Link in the first comment.👇

#remotework #workfromanywhere #futureofwork #sicily #workation #digitalnomads

October is almost over and to be honest… it’s been one of the most productive and also most fulfilling months this year. 🙏

I have no words to explain how the combination of exploring a completely new location with a crazy heavy workload has blended SO WELL. 

Here’s a little story from behind the scenes:👇

1️⃣ I supported several acquisitions, prepared restructuring paperwork, launched an online course, connected with businesses from over 15 countries, and guided multiple legal disputes. 💻

2️⃣ Every single day, I went to the nearby piazza for espresso - multiple times. I was sometimes exhausted and needed a break, but that pause in the sunshine with coffee and orange juice? Way better than any office break in a shared kitchen. Trust me. 🫡

3️⃣ I ate, drank, laughed like crazy, and went to local concerts with friends. 😃

4️⃣ I fulfilled my dream of a wine tasting at a Sicilian winery 🍇 - Donnafugata (fans will know their Dolce & Gabbana collab - absolutely epic!) - an unforgettable experience that still makes me smile.

5️⃣ The positive feedback from everyone I worked with warms my heart. 🥹 It proved what I’ve been saying all along - you can have a fulfilling, exciting, meaningful work life without dullness or grey walls. 

So please... NEVER tell me remote work doesn’t work. It does. You just might not know how to make it work. Because when you blend discipline with beauty, and impact with freedom - magic happens! ✨

#remotework #futureofwork #flexibleworking #workfromanywhere #digitalnomads

I’ll be super honest with you. I can’t work in an office because I love wearing black dresses for lunch... for absolutely no reason at all. 😁

So, when I work remotely from a cool, inspiring place... I don’t just work, but I design my days. I make deliberate choices about how I show up, think and create. 🔥

That’s just what I do and who I am. My work is mainly strategy, law and operations - but it’s also art, rhythm and intention. No clash at all! 🙏

⚠️ And let me make something clear - traditional dress codes were created to signal order, not excellence. They’ve NEVER been a measure of skill, just of compliance.

They were born in the industrial age when uniformity meant control. Factories, banks and later corporate offices needed everyone to look the same to make sure they’d act the same. 👔👔👔

I remember a ridiculous story from one company where people worked in online customer service, sitting in cubicles all day and talking to clients they’d never meet. Women were still required to wear tights and grey suits EVERY SINGLE DAY. They never even left their desks. So... tell me WHY? 🙄

Do you know that today, the vast majority of employees say they feel judged by how they look rather than what they deliver? 😱 Of course, there’s some common sense like you don’t walk into a meeting in a bikini. But I’m not saying lose respect. I’m saying stop dressing for approval when what really matters is delivery!!!

Work is about impact, creation and what you bring to the table, not what you wear sitting at it. So yes, I wear my black dresses for no reason, when I feel like it.

If you think that’s foolish, irrelevant, or unimportant... then ask yourself why.

☝️Why does self-expression make people uncomfortable?
☝️Why does confidence without permission still feel like a threat?
☝️Why do we keep measuring professionalism by conformity instead of courage?

Not as a protest - but as a mirror.🪞 Because how we react to authenticity exposes how deeply we’ve been trained to hide it.

I didn’t build my career by following the "it's always been this way" script - I wrote my own. What's yours?

#futureofwork #remotework #flexibleworking #workfromanywhere #dresscode

If you still believe in office culture, read this twice.👇

1️⃣ If you need to see people to know they’re working, you're nothing else but a micromanager.

2️⃣ The 9-to-5 model was built for machines, not minds. 🧠

3️⃣ Office culture feeds two addictions - ego and control.

4️⃣ The office exposed how much companies confused busyness with value.

5️⃣ Culture isn’t a fancy slogan, a Slack emoji… or a pizza Friday. 🍕😳

6️⃣ “Hybrid” is usually chaos dressed up as policy (trust me... I KNOW).

7️⃣ Top talent cares about freedom, not the corporate ladder. 🌍

8️⃣ The same companies replacing people with AI are forcing everyone back to the office... hypocrisy at scale. 🆘

...What’s the biggest illusion of “office culture” you’ve seen? I need to know!🔥

P.S. Meanwhile, I’m taking a break from my daily tasks… and this is definitely not an office kitchen! 🫣 People often confuse remote work with being stuck at home - I don’t. I take breaks that inspire me and keep my focus alive. ✨

#futureofwork #remotework #workfromanywhere #flexibleworking

“We’re looking for a young, dynamic team member.” 🤢

👉 Translation: We’re biased, we confuse energy with age, and we still think innovation has a birthdate.

How many of such sentences have you seen in job descriptions? Be honest! 👀

Let’s call it what it is - AGEISM, dressed up as “culture fit.” 🙄

You know... dynamic has NOTHING to do with being 25. It’s about mindset, not metabolism.

Seriously, I’ve met 60-year-olds who reinvent themselves every single year... and 25-year-olds already stuck in corporate autopilot. So when companies advertise “young teams,” they’re not just excluding talent, they’re excluding wisdom, balance, and resilience. 🙏

I believe that in truly future-ready workplaces, progress doesn’t come from age but it comes from diversity of thought, experience, and perspective. Period. 💥

Stay tuned for more videos on workplace practices that don’t belong in a better future of work! 🚫💼

#FutureOfWork #Diversity #Inclusion #Leadership #Ageism #Career #WorkCulture

🆘 Your company is not your family!!! 🆘

It’s a business - and the moment you forget that, you hand over your power.

⛔️ Families don’t restructure you.
⛔️ They don’t “optimize headcount.”
⛔️ They don’t replace you with automation or a cheaper contract in another time zone.

Companies love to call themselves “families”... but no matter how beautiful it sounds, it’s just not true. 💔

Of course, there are also many responsible and great companies out there. So, you can have a great experience, feel valued, even loved, but it’s conditional. You need to perform, deliver, and align with the business goals. And that’s all good and healthy. That’s how companies work. 👌

But that is NOT a family. ⚡️

Loyalty is powerful, but ONLY when it’s mutual.

So connect deeply, yes... but keep your boundaries sharp. ⚔️

You know, when the “we’re all in this together” speeches fade, you’ll realize you were always running your own race. And that's rather painful.

What if future-ready companies dropped the “family” slogans and led with honesty and accountability... wouldn’t that just make sense for everyone? 🙏

#futureofwork #workculture #flexibleworking #remotework

☝️ NO, the remote job market isn’t dead! 

The loudest voices love to say “remote is over.” 🙄 But if you look closer, you'll see that companies are still hiring global teams, saving on real estate, and building resilience through distributed setups. 🔥

Workers are reskilling, stacking practical, job-ready skills that actually move the needle, and landing jobs that didn’t even exist five years ago. How predictable... right? 😜

What’s really dying isn’t remote work - it’s outdated thinking. 💀

In most cases, remote work has moved past the “experiment” stage. It’s become infrastructure, rather than just a perk. So, it’s about time some stop preaching the illusion that work belongs to one place. IT DOESN'T.

If you want to know what’s really coming next - roles, industries, and the skills that will rule 2026 - read my newest article and let me be your fortune teller. 🔮

Remote Job Market 2026: Hiring Trends & Career Opportunities

I used to feel "worse" because I didn’t live in a big city. ☹️

Back then, it seemed like all the “real” opportunities were in London, New York, or somewhere with skyscrapers and glossy office lobbies. If you worked there, you were "someone." I felt like a nobody with no opportunities on the horizon.

I was trying to make ends meet with no safety net. 💰 But I also had that stubborn feeling that I had potential... even though I was once rejected by a local sushi restaurant because they said I wasn’t “good enough” to be a waitress. 🍣 And that one hurt, believe me. Not because I wanted to be a waitress forever but because at that moment, I just needed someone to give me a chance (and yes, money... to pay my bills). 🙏

Deep inside I felt that I also could be "someone"... so I burned all bridges as I had to try something radical before life passed me by. Yes... it was TOUGH when I woke up in another country with no savings and no job, trust me. 😱 So, long-story short - I accidentally found my first remote job 10 years ago, and it changed my life. Destiny? Yes, today I’m kind of convinced it exists even it's not that obvious. 😅

It's bittersweet that I only found a remote job after I moved… but OK. 😑 My point is that if you're talented, then having a career SHOULDN'T be SOOOO hard these days. NO, simply NO! ❌❌❌❌❌❌

Talent has no zip code!!!!

Within everything I do, I’ll never stop thinking about all the people who just need ONE chance... ONE open door - to show what they’re capable of. 💥

Because I was one of them.

Remote work gave me that chance when no one else locally would and that’s why I’ll keep fighting for it. Because everyone deserves a fair shot... not just those who can afford the “right” zip code or happen to be born in the "right" place. Talent has no borders and opportunity shouldn’t either. 

✋ End of story.

#remotework #workfromanywhere #futureofwork

I see companies proudly replacing people with AI instead of evolving them... confusing cost-cutting with innovation. 💰🤖

Everyone’s racing to automate, to optimize and to move faster. But no one seems to stop and ask: for what... and for whom? Are we actually building for people, or just for prettier performance dashboards?

In my eyes, what's happening in most cases isn't transformation but intellectual laziness. Because when everyone’s chasing the same efficiency metrics, the real differentiator becomes the one thing machines can’t copy - being HUMAN. Technology doesn’t just erase humanity, come on! 😬

🚩 You can automate workflows, not wisdom.
🚩 You can optimize output, not purpose.
🚩 You can’t replace "why" with "how fast".

💎 I call it the Human Premium! 💎 

The future of work won’t be won by those who build the smartest machines but by those who stay impossible to replace. Let's not mistake automation for progress.
