Let's create positive impact

Hi, I am Pia Hillebrecht

I work as a Freelancer and Impact Mentor in the areas of sustainability, regeneration, system change and business transformation.

I help individuals and organizations thrive by supporting you to create life-conducive conditions for a viable future on a systemic level – whether this is by changing your job or internal processes, or creating an impact project.

By upskilling and guiding you personally or your team with social transformation tools, I accompany you on your journey towards an alignment with your values, the natural boundaries and making sure you are creating meaningful work for society.

It is my mission to create systems that nurture conditions for a thriving future for all living beings.

With my 2 brands, I help individuals (B2C = @work.with.impact) and organisations (B2B = @impacthills) to move towards alignment with their values and the planetary boundaries, creating positive impact for society.

Co-creative spaces are key for developing long-term solutions.
My workshops are interactive and hands-on. You let me know what you are working on and what input your team could use.

Consulting

for organizations & project groups

I understand my work of “consulting” as a mutual partnership on eye-level with everyone involved in the project or organization. I will be a companion in your organization’s journey and help you and your team in refining your processes and strategies by giving input based on experience.

Coaching

Research & Curation

in sustainability & leadership

I am offering my support in curatory work and research.
I am happy to work on facts, give detailed feedback on content and structure and have a session with you to discuss your piece. Often a neutral external  input helps to push your work a leap forward.

About Me

I care deeply about global social justice, am fascinated by social entrepreneurship and sustainable business innovation and believe that inner and outer transformation is needed for systemic change. 
Over the past 10 years I have accompanied various organisations in different industries through my work as consultant, project manager, learning designer and process facilitator on implementing sustainable practices. 
Currently I am exploring different regenerative practices with my fellow Change Agents and prototyping them in different contexts.

Areas of Expertise

 A glimpse into the methods, tools, frameworks and my personal approach. More here.

Sustainability & Regeneration


In order to sustain human life on Earth and raise equality we need to act now and re-think our current systems. I bring my experience in strategic sustainable development, environmental sciences and help you apply the needed tools and knowledge to accelerate your sustainability journey.

Transformation through Social Innovation & Life-centred Design

For too long we have been focused on human-centred innovation only. I am exploring and developing new tools to drive true disruption and alignment with planetary boundaries. I help you question the status-quo and explore transformational solutions to the root causes of current social and environmental challenges - not just quick-fixes with unintended consequences.

Conscious Leadership & Personal Development


Any change or transformational process starts within us.
Before we can lead others, we need to connect to ourselves. The Inner Development Goals stress the importance of inner work as individuals. With reflective tools and practices, I can accompany you on your journeys towards your purpose and together empower others. Leadership is not a title but comes in different forms and can be embodied by anyone.

Strategic Development & System Change


Humans are social beings. By organizing ourselves in bigger groups we have greater impact. My passion is to support businesses to create bold visions with a positive impact for society and nature and help them to strategically achieve their goals. In my work I always take a systemic view. No single product or entity can be sustainable by itself - it is a systems property. For holistic solutions, we need to take into account all the relations around us.
