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?

Have you meet Dani Maletic? 

If not, you should. #NomadEire is not just a conference, an event, as I understood. It's a movement to embellish Ireland's less traveled and lesser known local companies, enterprises, entrepreneurs, and more. 

The work to create a flawless event is never seen, it's felt by how participants experience it. And I know a thing or two about that, even before we co-founded EESTEC LC back in the day in MB City. 

What do you need to know about creating an event? Here are four major points.

Thinking Ahead: The Key to Successful Events

Event making may seem easy to the casual observer, but it’s anything but. Whether you’re organizing a small gathering or a large corporate conference, successful events require serious planning and foresight. Anticipating what could go wrong is half the battle.

Flexibility: Small Events, Quick Changes

Smaller events, like workshops or intimate parties, offer flexibility. With tighter timelines, changes can happen on the fly — a venue switch, a schedule tweak, or even a last-minute guest addition. The ability to adapt quickly is what makes these events feel fresh and spontaneous. Flexibility is the key to making small events feel effortless. 

And Dani and her team did this amazingly well.

Red Tape: Larger Events Take Time

When it comes to larger or even corporate events, like Running Remote, flexibility is harder to come by. Planning a conference or a festival can take months, even years, due to contracts, permits, and endless approvals. The logistics are complex, and the “red tape” can slow down decisions, stretching the timeline and making coordination more challenging. It’s a long, careful process that requires patience and persistence.

The Invisible Work: Making It All Come Together

Behind every seamless event is a huge amount of work that often goes unnoticed. From managing vendors to navigating approval processes, the work that happens behind the scenes is what makes the magic happen. Whether small or large, event planning is about thinking ahead, staying flexible, and managing the details, even when the process feels like a never-ending challenge.

Not to mention the people assisting, either as volunteers, or hired as contractors for specific purpose (marketing, venues, etc.)

And I've meet on #NomadEire my possible future collaborators. Amber Daughn, Chiara Tracey Bolzon, Maria C., Oren Chazan

Again, thanks to all who made NomadEire possible. Let's catch up soon!
