Marjaana Kuivalainen is an ICF‑certified coach, church administrator, and international facilitator who helps leaders and communities grow with clarity, courage, and purpose. With a master’s degree in social sciences (social work) and experience serving churches across Finland, Germany, and the United States, she brings a rare blend of global perspective and grounded, practical insight.

Her work centers on one conviction: healthy leadership creates healthy communities. Through coaching, teaching, and collaborative facilitation, Marjaana equips pastors, lay leaders, and purpose‑driven professionals to navigate complexity, strengthen their teams, and lead with integrity in a rapidly changing world.

As the leader of the NCD America coach community, she cultivates spaces where leaders feel seen, supported, and challenged to grow. Her approach is both strategic and deeply human—rooted in research, shaped by cross‑cultural experience, and animated by a genuine belief in people’s capacity to flourish.

Marjaana is known for bringing clarity to the fog, structure to the chaos, and encouragement to the weary. Her voice is steady, invitational, and forward‑leaning—guiding leaders toward healthier rhythms, stronger relationships, and more sustainable impact.

If you want, I can also craft a homepage intro, a tagline, or a “Why I do this work” section to round out your site’s thought‑leadership tone.
