I am…

I am a coach by heart. I believe that no one has ever reached the ultimate level of excellence and there’s always room for growth.

I am a facilitator. I always look for ways to facilitate learning. It can be in the meeting room or in the one-on-one session (or in the car talking about the world with my kids).

I am a catalyst. While challenging our assumptions and changing mindsets is essential, I know that it’s real action that leads to lasting change.

I am an expatriate. I’m a native Dane, who has spent the last 13 years in Switzerland and France.

I am trying to present myself without putting my title or CV first, but here'S THE SHORT VERSION:

  • I’m working at the intersection of organisational development, facilitation of meetings and processes, team coaching, and 1:1 coaching.
  • I hold a master’s degree in communications and literature studies, and I am a certified master coach, agile team facilitator and storyteller.
  • I have more than 17 years of experience working with communications in the national and international arena, 13 of those in leadership positions.

And the longer and more boring version:
