Focus on Creation and Goodness

Who am I?

Hi, I am Oana Velcu-Laitinen.

I’m a Helsinki based NeuroLeadership Coach. I help individuals, researchers, leaders of change and their teams bring their contribution to their environment, by cultivating creativity and collaboration skills.

Why do I do what I do?

Doing the PhD research on how ERP systems are implemented in Finnish companies and how their use affects the organisational performance, I observed that at the heart of successful companies are the individuals who lead themselves through change with curiosity rather than fear.

The way we initiate or respond to changes relies greatly on our creative thinking. Triggered by curiosity, creativity is one of the most important human resources that can help us bring our unique perspectives to problems. And yet, inside each one of us, there seems to be a tendency towards conformity to rules and methodologies rather than prioritising the innate curiosity, to ask questions and explore.

I chose my curiosity and intuition to research how creativity can be developed to enhance the sense of individual fulfilment and boost productivity and innovative performance. The most salient concepts were put together in the training packages I deliver.

When we become aware of our creative abilities and manifest them in the surrounding environment, that’s when change is initiated.

What can I provide?

I create a framework, which inspires participants to explore their emotions and thinking about the way they work. For groups and teams, I can provide:

• corporate training

For individuals:

• courses for personal development

Last but not least, I enjoy helping individuals who seek to transition to a work that feels like a calling, based on the belief that they are meant for that kind of work. To this view, I provide one-to-one coaching to enhance the clarity of thinking and empower concrete creative actions.
