Already when most of the teams were working in offices, Laima’s team worked 100% remotely and globally. Therefore, when conducting training, she always shares real stories and proven tools. Laima says the tools she works with have helped her personally to refine her authenticity. Using them, Laima also discovered intrinsic motivation that gives a lot of energy.

Laima’s passion is walking long distances (even with children on her shoulders) and learning. It is especially fun for her to learn when there is a teacher who knows the subject and community around. Therefore, either a forest or a virtual training room can become the learning space for Laima. Her main value is adventure, and Laima considers her creativity, generation of ideas, and ability to build a community to be her strengths.
