Hi there, welcome to episode #31 – I am happy to have you here with
me Today, you’ll here the story of Anna-Maria Clemens, an HR
Transformation Expert with quite a colorful background and journey.
She was born in Poland and her professional path brought her from
Canada to Tokyo any many more countries in the world. She held HR
management positions at Accenture, Syngenta and lately the GEA
Group, worked as a professional dancer and managed schools. She
will talk with us about this journey, why she has left her home
country to follow her talents and intuition and how for the first
time in her live the question "who am I really" arised. Anna-Maria
very openly shares how some people would tell her that she had no
focus in her career, her experiences on worrying about being behind
of others from top universities and her English not being good
enough in the corporate world - but also what she specifically
learned from that time. We talked about her experiences where non
