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!

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?

Inspiring Psychology Practices 

Like many mental health professionals, I once saw traditional private practice as a path to more freedom, flexibility, and autonomy within my personal and professional life. But along the way, I came to see how this extractive, exploitive system failed providers like myself and the people entrusted with their care. Disillusioned, isolated, and burned out, I began to challenge myself to rethink what it meant to be a successful individual practitioner. I set out to reclaim the exiled parts of myself and cultivate a safe place to flourish for myself and my clients. 

Amid this profound shift in my own way of being and working, I saw a critical need to empower other providers to bring more of their authentic selves to their work. This mission became all the more imperative for me as I watched my own daughter begin her journey into the psychology profession. 

And thus, Inspiring Psychology Practices was born. 

Now, we’ve joined forces as a non-traditional mother-daughter founder team working to nourish and support other independent practitioners. Together, we’re building a growing global movement of questioners, dissenters, and challengers, courageously working to dismantle the status quo and re-envision what it means to be in private practice.  https://www.inspiringpsych.com/

Amazing Conversations | Workshops | Co-author | Coaching | Organisational Development

Our working environments have changed, disrupting where and how people connect. Today's global workforce needs to adapt rapidly to these new environments to succeed. These shifts have fundamentally disrupted where and how we connect with each other:

- People who no longer feel as connected to their colleagues and companies are more likely to leave.
- Poorer quality connection puts up barriers to harnessing diversity, inclusion and belonging.
- Teams who don't feel connected to each other struggle to innovate.
- Leaders who are finding it hard to connect with others struggle to influence.
- Feeling disconnected and isolated challenges employees' well-being especially when performing under pressure.

We support you in improving well-being, performance and company culture by strengthening people's connection with each other.

We create executive leadership tools and programs for global, remote and hybrid companies enabling them to better capitalise on their employees' talents and measure talent RoI. 

We have a wealth of executive development, assessment and coaching experience gained over 25 years in international organisations in the defence and security, automotive, aeronautical, chemical, manufacturing, banking, professional services, retail and public sectors.

Private practice isn’t broken. The model is.

I help experienced psychologists move beyond the 1:1 treadmill and design practices that regenerate income, wellbeing, and living systems so you and the communities you serve can thrive.

Not just scaling impact, but contributing to the tipping points our world urgently needs in health, climate, equality, and beyond.

After 20+ years across healthcare, high tech, government, and NGOs, I saw the same pattern everywhere: the deepest psychological expertise was trapped in outdated delivery models. Models that couldn’t scale, couldn’t adapt, and couldn’t keep pace with a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.

In 2017, I founded The Psychology Practice Accelerator (TPPA) to change that. It’s where independent psychologists reimagine their practices through regenerative principles:

* Diversifying beyond 1:1 delivery
* Building strategic partnerships for resilience and reach
* Stepping into leadership across systems and sectors 

But TPPA isn’t just about implementation. We develop psychologists as strategic thinkers and regenerative leaders so they can keep evolving long after the programme ends.
 
I work with psychologists who are: 
 
- At capacity and ready to grow differently 
- Quietly (& not so quietly) ambitious, deeply skilled, and done with hustle culture 
- Thinking systemically, leading ethically, and seeking peers at their level 
- Ready to contribute not just to clients, but to organisations, ideas, and the profession itself

This is regenerative practice: where psychologists partner across domains to regenerate systems and shape the future of our field.

If you’re done with hustle culture and ready to grow a future-fit practice that regenerates income, wellbeing, and impact, let’s connect.
