Biography

How I got into coaching, well... With a degree in Business, majoring in Marketing, I worked as a project manager in the Interactive industry before I decided it was time for change. What had always been truly inspiring, motivating and rewarding for me was to be apart of creating and supporting; change, movement and an empowering atmosphere that encouraged growth and success for everyone involved. With that in mind and heart I have fully embraced and integrated my experience, skills, heart and being into professional coaching.

My strengths as a coach are honesty, integrity and genuine care. My leadership is based on respect, authenticity, empowerment and the ability to be present while keeping focused on the goals at hand. I create a sense of safety and trust in my relationships and the essence I bring is intuition, a deep sense of grounding and balance, forward movement, aliveness and openness to whatever we may encounter on our adventures together.

Coaching credentials; I am a certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC) with the Coaches Training Institute and have also taken coaching training in the areas of leadership and team work at the Calgary University.

One a personal note; Although I've lived abroad the past 5+ years a big part of my heart and roots belong to my native Sweden where I was born and raised in a very small town close to the Arctic circle. Apart from coaching I am also a devoted yoga practitioner and teacher (www.yoginiathome.com) and in general a very active person with great love for the outdoors and sports.

The connection between coaching and yoga to me is the pursuit to find and maintain balance no matter circumstances and shifts. Balance is the process of constant movement to adapt and integrate never ending change around us – it is far from a status-quo place. From a place of balance we are better set up to create greater strength, growth, stillness, focus and success.

Why hire me? You will hire me if you want someone to help hold your life's agenda, your desired path and goals in focus. You will hire me if you are willing and committed to taking a stance for yourself and what you want. This is important as living a fulfilled life, where you are true to your values, is a radical act – no kidding!

As your coach I will be committed to your success and offer you a courageous and safe space for creation, reflection and learning, balance, possibilities and choice.
