Connecting people sustainably
has been my motto since I knew what a motto was. Since my Masters in Sociology and Social Anthropology, my career path has lead me through many stages - starting with being a Mom in 1999, a PR-Assistant in New Media from 2001, an inclusive coach for vocational training in 2003, founder of my Impact Café "Kaderschmiede" in Hamburg in 2007, becoming a solution-oriented coach in 2009 and a Housing Coordinator for Refugees in 2013, Manager of Germany’s largest Refugee settlement in Hamburg in 2017 and Author of the self-coaching journal: “Addie Tjoode - My 30-Day Joy & Happiness Challenge in 2019. Always driven by my out of the box thinking brain and the purpose of inspiring and connecting people in order to enhance them in living up to their dreams.
In 2020, I finally made one of my biggest dreams come true and founded the NGO "Ministry of Impact e.V." with the support of about 40 people from all over the world - united by the idea of raising the awareness for the necessity of education, waste reduction and at the same time creating a livelihood for young adults in remote areas in third-world countries.
More and more of these young people started contacting me lately to ask for support to emigrate to Germany and work here lately, as in their countries they don't find appropriate opportunities.
Also, a lot of the former refugees in Hamburg and surroundings are still not working in their actual profession - so in regard to the labor market situation, there is a lot of matching to be done in the next years!
Myself, am eager to now synchronize my professional and personal experience and channel all my passion to connect german employers with matching international candidates and accompany this process with my intercultural experience and expertise together with my international team!
