How Upwise by Jaanika Rannula
was born?

In 2015, I received a promotion and became the Training Manager for the Baltic countries and Finland at a company operating in over 100 countries worldwide. Suddenly, I was part of a team of people from 9 nationalities and countries. Consequently, the HR manager gifted me my coach-supervisor to support my integration into the new role.

The way the coach created a space and environment for me to focus on myself, my capabilities, and my blind spots, to work with my doubts and fears, and the challenges that came with a stressful and demanding pace and a challenging boss was hugely inspiring.

I understood that besides training, people need empowerment and a partner to help discover all the resources already hidden beneath the surface. I wanted to possess such knowledge and skills and become a COACH-SUPERVISOR, as this experience was life-changing for me!

In 2017, I pivoted from this company and started to study at the International Supervision and Coaching Institute for coach-supervisor training.

On August 8, 2018, I founded my company, UpWise Coaching. Since then, I have enjoyed working in a field that allows me to work with people from various sectors on different topics and methodologies.

“UpWise” comes from one of my beliefs that one should make the best of every day. All it takes is to get out of bed, experience life boldly and consciously, and make the most of it!

Today, I work as a development partner whose comprehensive toolbox enables the creation of unique and diverse development programs that help improve management quality, increase team satisfaction, and enhance organizational performance.

Therefore, I also wish you to “Stand Up, enjoy the day & WISEr.”
