About me
Presently living in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I am experiencing a fast-growing economy in which start-ups seek their part. I am contributing to their progress by offering training and mentoring in the development of business plans, pitching their businesses to investors and building supporting networks.
At Leiden University in the Netherlands, I completed my Master's Degree in Social Sciences and as a Psychologist. I majored in Organisation Psychology.
As a professional, I have been consulting as a careers counsellor for over twenty years to a wide variety of businesses on issues from the establishment of small businesses from the ground up, to personnel and management issues in well-established firms, e.g. Banking firms and government agencies. In my career as an executive coach, I have put a strong focus on assisting executives and managers in maximizing their individual potential and on their leadership roles within the workplace.
Interview with Akkie OkmaMy Mission
Broaden your horizon
My mission is to empower people
and to give them the self-confidence
to handle major careers hick-ups.
Working Methods
Going in the right direction?
I am a solution-based counsellor.
I will offer tools and ideas that will
have an impact on your abilities
to find new avenues and opportunities.
Based upon the experience I know
that one will learn the most of just
doing things and evaluate.
My Philosophy
Be a lifelong learner. I feel privileged
to meet so many different people
who want to share their concerns
and challenges with me. Together
with them, I explore their talents
and how they can make an impact.
If they take responsibility and leadership,
I consider my counselling successful.
