Hi, I’m Jussi
I work for a future worth building: a world where we humans recognize our role as stewards of the planet, all business has positive net impact, no one has to work if they don’t want to and we can live in peace, not just in the world but also within ourselves. Every step we take, no matter how small, can be in this direction. The future is co-created and it starts today.
I’m a professional coach (ICF ACC) and coaching individuals and teams has been a part of my job since 2012. I help people clarify their own thinking, discover meaningful goals, build lasting habits and over time become who they want to be.
My background is in agile software development, consulting and organizational coaching, so continuous improvement and learning have always been a part of my work. In addition to coaching, my strengths lie in facilitation, being present, thriving in change and understanding both social and technical systems. My current sidequest is learning Everything.
Co-creation and Consulting
Organizational change feels sluggish? Need to make the whole organization more adaptive or effective? Enable self-organization?
The common points of failure are communication, chronic hurrying and slow feedback loops. I’ve worked in dozens of organizations and have gathered a vast collection of mistakes I can help you avoid. And a few solid ideas of what might work in your context.
I consult on learning & organizational design, sensemaking and agile & lean process development. As a facilitator enable learning and cocreation in workshops and transformational programs.
Personal Coaching
Whether you’re looking for clarity and actions now or lasting habits and radical transformation in the long term, I can help you set goals and get there. Due to the unpredictable nature of our brains, life changing insights aren’t guaranteed. I strive to create conditions where they are possible.

The discussions went quite deep and we worked on improving both my career and life in general. In the end, I got help for changing not only my career, but also my exercise habits and outlook on life, for the better. I feel that Jussi truly cares and wants to help. Overall an awesome experience.”

“Jussi’s ability to see the locked in potential in people and getting them moving was impressive. It opened my eyes to the fact that people need different things to learn. It takes more than materials. You need also the willingness to learn. And most importanly to apply what you learn in practice. Changing your routines takes more than determination. The team coaching process changed my view on learning and taught me to identify other people’s strengths. Even years later I don’t shy away from difficult topics. I know I can learn anything as long as I find the right means. “
