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?

Helping destinations and brands upgrade and attract the right audience with strategies that boost local communities ✨| Place development | Destination marketing | Location independence | Authentic travel tips 😍

I help purpose-driven brands and places that prioritize community, culture, and meaningful experiences improve and grow their impact.

I'm also passionate about lifestyle design and helping ambitious people design intentional lifestyles aligned with who they are, with time for what matters most ✨

Since 2016, I've been location-independent and traveled full-time while building a business. So far, I've visited 50+ countries, picked up 5 languages, while helping some of the biggest brands in the industry. 

What I can do for you:

⭐ If you represent a place/brand:

I help places and brands with place development, strategy, and marketing. From how to make your place/services more appealing, to strategies and content focused on collaboration, community engagement, culture, meaningful connections, and impact.

Over the past decade, I've worked with places and businesses across Europe, Latin America, and Africa. With a diverse background and 8+ years of full-time travel, I've learned a lot about cultures, business models, what different types of people value, what makes a brand/place unique, and how to market that in ways that resonate.

Since I've been location-independent for 8+ years, I also team up with places and brands wanting to reach remote workers and digital nomads. 

From individual sessions and talks/workshops, to comprehensive support, I offer different options to reach your goals. 

Ready to upgrade your brand/place? DM and I'll show you how we can make it happen 😉 

⭐ If you're interested in location independence and lifestyle design:

Imagine living a life aligned with your passions, values, and what matters most, while doing work you really enjoy. 

I often coach entrepreneurs/managers with a combined focus on business and lifestyle design (growing intentionally while designing a life you're excited about). Helping you be better at what you do and at being who you are to unlock that deeper level of fulfillment. Everything is connected!

I've invested lots of time into understanding how to optimize various areas in life. How to live authentically, boost productivity, get rid of limiting beliefs, upgrade mindsets, develop quality relationships, make an impact, grow in meaningful ways, and design a flexible lifestyle that makes you happy 🤩

I share some of my best tips free: https://samiraholma.com/blog. Always action-oriented, backed by research mixed with personal experiences.

Questions or think I can help? Feel free to reach out! If you're passionate about the future of places/life, hospitality, and lifestyle design, I'd love to connect 😊
