Tiina Saarinen
I love people's diverse career stories and charting hidden paths! With me, you can think about new careers from many angles and taking your wishes into account.
Having created my professional skin many times and returning to working life after 6 years of family leave, as a former expatriate Finn, I believe I can look at many things from outside the "box".
My educational background is interdisciplinary and my work experience is diverse. I have worked in both the private and public sector in career and recruitment tasks, in industry, in startup companies, in education exports and in the IT sector. In all of these, the common denominator has been the development of skills as a trainer, encourager, developer and consultant.
At Arffman, I have already been able to work for five eventful years with interesting individual and group coaching as well as content production and development. My clients have given me positive feedback about, among other things, open-mindedness, solution-orientedness, positivity and approachability.
Welcome!

Coach
Tara Vallenius
I have been in the social sector since 2014. During my working career, I have worked with children, young people, adults, the disabled and immigrants. I have also guided partially-abled people through various paths into working life.
I have been involved in founding two companies and one charity.
During my life, I have been able to act in the role of an employee and in the role of a manager. However, all my activities have always been based on helping and coaching people.
My task as a coach is to walk beside the coachee when big and important decisions are made. I am support and security you can count on. I act as a mentor and provide tools to help you reach your goals. My job is to simply listen, care genuinely, and create a safe space for contemplation, questioning, insights, and reevaluation.
You, the coachee, set the pace and ultimately make the necessary changes in your life to achieve your desired career goals.
I also coach in Arabic, Persian and English.
