Liga Rudzite

born 1984  •  lives in Latvia  •  speaks fluent English, Latvian, Russian
About:

To me, the joy of learning is in discovering and rearranging (thought and behavioural) patterns. I enjoy dealing with ambiguity, dismantling dichotomies, working towards consensus. I believe in the power of meeting and working together, that is the main reason I am here and willing to facilitate the process of discovery, learning and action.

Liga Rudzite has 12 references for past work as a trainer.
