My path into leadership and executive management positions starting almost 30 years ago was actually quite straightforward: I wanted to make a big difference in the world and knew that in order to do that I had to find people who wanted the same as me. My most important values ​​are freedom, compassion and community, and I wanted to work on these premises.

​

Before I chose to say goodbye to my permanent job as a senior executive in the private sector a few years ago, I had been leading teams for 25 years. The last almost 15 years I was first leading Nestlé's communication and marketing efforts in the Nordic region and then a 200mEUR business back to growth on all parameters.

​

There were always lots of challenges - from crisis management and turnaround to the COVID pandemic, change and culture work - and we always solved all challenges together. We did it by staying focused, standing together and supporting each other - and we performed the best when we were strongly interconnected across the organisation, characterized by high levels of trust, transparency and teamwork.

​

When I coach and guide leaders today, we also cover vision and values: how should it feel to go to work? What do you want to be known for as a leader – and recognized for? And how do you lead with care, clarity and compassion?

​

Not everyone has had time to delve into these topics in depth, and my experience tells me that this is the reason why coaching and mentoring can make such a huge difference: looking at these topics and finding your own answers as a leader is the way to joy and meaning – and even happiness – at work!

​

When I start coaching new clients, our first dialogue is always free and non-binding. The sole purpose is for us to meet and ensure that full openness and trust is present.
