About
We make teams better. We recognise the energy of each individual and help to channel it into the right direction. We turn people into creative and functioning teams. Because good teams consist of people who are passionate about their cause and their team and trust each other. We coach, we advise, we accompany and we are there for you across language and cultural borders. Individually or in groups.
Anja Wyden Guelpa
Why do you need Anja Wyden Guelpa as a consultant or coach? Because she is a woman who can draw from her tireless optimism and her immense life experience. Thanks to these skills, she quickly recognises the abilities, weaknesses and hidden talents of her counterpart. With her cordial lightness she effortlessly connects the francophone and German-speaking parts of Switzerland and, with her vitality and competence, whirls up the parquet of international stages. As a trilingual lecturer, board member, certified coach (CPCC, ACC, CPQC), president of two foundations and first former chancellor of the canton of Geneva, Anja Wyden Guelpa likes people. Her goal is to unite us all in a better world, which we are building together with her – as a team. Because we make teams better.
After 20 years of experience in key management positions both in the private sector at IBM and in the public sector as project manager at SECO, Director General for Social Affairs and Chancellor of the Canton of Geneva, she and her team now advise companies and managers on innovation and corporate culture. She divides her time between her company civicLab, her directorships, philanthropic commitments and teaching innovation methods at the University of Lausanne. In 2019, she initiates the civicChallenge – Public Innovator for Switzerland.
