Who are you?
Angela Huser
Welcome to my page. Before we start working together there are a couple of things I want you to know about me – because business is about relationships. I am warm-hearted, optimist and with a profound desire to move forward and innovate. Change is my constant companion and I switch regularly between corporate, start-up and underground. The three topics that occupy me most are:
Change
Change is an uncomfortable process that has always fascinated me. As a change manager for large scale HRIT projects I managed transformations collectively for companies like DSM and Maersk Oil. Meanwhile I have shifted my focus away from HRIT to cultural change. My favourite project looks at ‘New Ways of Working’ and what corresponding mindset shift is need for that organisation. My change efforts also include 1:1 business- and career coaching at the individual level. The sentence “Leap and the net will appear.” resonates deeply with me.
Women in Business
The career advancement of women has always been a keen topic of interest to me. Especially career advancement in male-dominated settings such as IT and Engineering. My interest is driven by curiosity for why women experience different career realities, rather than blame about the situation. In my research I have found that big corporations acknowledge the fact that women have different career realities, but are relatively clueless on why or what to do about it. My work with corporations and individuals alike starts with the pain points at the individual level. Personal ownership outsmarts corporate limitations. It’s about working on the very own version of ‘fitting in’ or rather, the polite version of not caring too much.
If I look beyond gender, it’s about being right with yourself, your ambition and expression of that.
Leadership
In my work I have a special interest in non-traditional business- and leadership principles. I am not interested in the mechanics of more efficiency by applying more structure or pressure. In oder to advance and become better leaders most managers need new ways of relating and innovating, rather than guidance on efficiency, goals, and fact-based business conduct. How can you play in every situation with better outcomes for the business? What would turn your team on, if it’s off?
I am interested in the interplay between masculine and feminine leadership principles. Structure, goal-orientation and rigor vs the ability to feel, create connections, access flow and creativity. Understanding how to merge the two will make both men and women unstoppable.
Now it’s your turn. Say hi.
