My guest today is Ines Beatrix. Ines is a professional certified career and leadership coach. She coaches people who want to make a positive impact on the world and want to play a bigger game in their careers. With over 8 years of experience in design thinking, communications, mindfulness and coaching, she encourages people to dream big and cultivate a sense of inner calm and deep confidence. Before becoming a coach, she worked as the Design Thinking Lead at a US bank, led projects as an innovation consultant for Fortune 500 companies, and taught design thinking courses in Paris.

Ines is the first coach I receive in the podcast, she works with product managers but also with companies who want to introduce design thinking into their organisation. We talked about creative problem solving and human-centered approach, topics that are close to the heart of product people.
