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.

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?

The Work Happiness Project 

The mission of The Work Happiness Project is to humanise the digital work environment by connecting remote teams stronger than wifi. I have created a set of fun, yet, meaningful team building workshops to help your team get to know each other outside of work, connect deeper with each other - and themselves. So that they can work from anywhere while still feeling connected to everyone. 

My big goal is to inspire employees to thrive - not just survive by redefining the definition of a holistically happy life to help them live up to their fullest potential - personally & professionally. 

HOW?
By helping employees to charge their own batteries first, to then be able to give more to others and eventually create a positive ripple effect into every area of their lives and everyone they encounter. 

Therefore all of my workshops are based on the three pillars:  
Live fuller. Connect deeper. Be happier.

They range from Bucket List workshops, customised Christmas parties to Digital Detox workshops and "no smalltalk virtual coffee breaks" with my own icebreaker game eyeConnect - stronger than wifi.   

As a people enthusiast and an advocate for the Future Of (Remote) Work, my services range from:
● Fractional Head Of Remote Culture & Connection
● Fractional “Chief Of Happiness At Work” Officer
● Team Building Facilitator For Online & Off-site Retreats
● Keynote Speaker & Webinar Host

Reach out anytime for a casual coffee chat to brainstorm how we can connect YOUR team stronger than wifi :)

Advisor

eyeConnect - make connections stronger than wifi.

eyeConnect is the first (and only) Digital Detox game for everyone who prefers smiles over likes and real emotions over emoticons. 

Created to get you off your phone and talk to real humans and to make you & your conversations become more interesting than social media. 

As the creator of this game, I believe that the world is full of interesting people with exciting stories to tell. The problem is that we are so busy with not missing out in the online world that we so often forget to be present in the offline world.

I thought that needs to change. 

So instead of making phones more uninteresting, I decided to focus on the bright side of life - and simply make people more interesting. 

How? By skipping the small talk and asking better questions to get more out of your conversations - and make connections stronger than wifi. 

That's when eyeConnect was born.

Co-Founder

Certified Bucket List Coach®

As a Bucket List Coach I believe that when people thrive, organisations thrive! 
That's why I help remote work teams to create a positive corporate culture across borders by creating & taking action on each team member's individual action plan for a more fulfilled life - personally & professionally.

Based on programs that implement the holistic 12-steps M.Y.B.U.C.K.E.T.L.I.S.T. Blueprint TM formula, I encourage individuals & corporate teams to experience more meaning, sense of purpose, and fulfilment in their lives and, in turn, an inspired culture for their organization.

I believe that companies who serve as a springboard rather than a barrier to help their employees reach their personal goals, will be rewarded with highly driven & energetic employees who, in turn, help you reach your corporate goals.

When employees are working to attain passion and progress in every area of their life, they have the emotional resources to invest in their work. They begin to feel positive, their brain is now free to think, be more creative and better at solving problems.

Especially in times of an all-time mental illness peak (see brochure attached), recognition and investing in the personal development of your employees has never been more important.

My mission is therefore to change the perspective on goal-setting so it not only benefits the bottom line of your organisation but also your employees lives and vice versa. 

Ultimately, happy employees make happy profits.  
(And let's be honest, who would NOT want to work for the "Bucket List" company? ;))

Certified Bucket List Coach 

Self Employed

Speaker about "Phubbing- When touchschreens make us lose touch" 

The anti-social art of phubbing (phone& snubbing) describes the effect of engaging with our smartphone in the presence of others and its detrimental consequences on our social relationships and work life. 

In my lecture, I give a profound overview about the latest research on the widely unknown yet omnipresent social phenomenon 'phubbing', how it detrimentally affects our relationships
and how we as both, individuals and business people, can successfully contribute to stop human interaction from dying out.
