My Approach
My name is Damla, very nice to meet you :)
I bring together strategic expertise and performance training to help organisations navigate complex decisions. My background spans policy development, business strategy, and organizational transformation across diverse sectors - from startups to major institutions.
What makes my approach distinctive is the integration of acting and improvisation techniques into strategic facilitation.
Through comprehensive performance training, I've discovered that when teams can physically explore scenarios, embody different perspectives, and practice difficult conversations, they develop clarity and alignment that traditional planning sessions often miss.
My experience includes guiding leadership teams through strategic pivots, facilitating multi-stakeholder initiatives, and helping organisations secure significant funding. Working across different countries and cultures has deepened my understanding of how diverse perspectives and group dynamics shape strategic outcomes.
I'm passionate about creating strategic processes that don't just produce plans on paper, but build the confidence and capability teams need to implement them successfully. The combination of creates breakthrough moments that stick.
