about Carissimia Consulting
My name is Cara Steenstra. With over a decade of experience in Learning and Development, and my multi-lingual/ multi-cultural background, I hope to bring the best training and development experiences to you and your teams.
Carissimia Consulting was born out of my belief that understanding ourselves and what motivates us is the way to lasting positive change. Taking the neuroscience approach which is practical and achievable, I want to help people elevate their leadership skills from an authentic place.
My Approach
I implement and innovate engaging methods to ensure knowledge transfer and behaviour change. I like to use a mix of storytelling and neuroscience-based behaviour analysis to inspire change and development within teams and individuals.
My Experience
I am passionate about helping people reach their potential. With over 13 years of experience in the training and coaching field, I work with people and teams to find inspiration and motivation to commit to changes that will enhance their effectiveness and well-being.
I have worked with high-profile companies across Asia, including Flexport, Zenni, BlackRock, Barclays, Microsoft, Shangri La, Galaxy Entertainment Group, CBRE, Mott MacDonald, Clifford Chance, Jardines Engineering Corporation, Pentland, Societe Generale, the Jockey Club and the Hong Kong Government. My work covers effective communication skills, management skills , and leadership development. I love to use my knowledge and understanding of learning styles, neuroscience-based brain preferences as well as ontological coaching to bring out the best in people.
