My Story

As part of the Danish underground art scene, I learned about (self) organising, networking and taking care of volunteers when I was young. We turned low-budget and no-budget projects from big dreams into reality.

Trained as a Kaospilot (Creative Leadership and Entrepreneurship education in Aarhus, Denmark), I stepped out into the world of project management in 1996. In 1997, I became an independent consultant, focussing on group processes, World Café and Open Space being my favourite methods and technologies.

From 2005 my interest in systemic theory grew, and I tried to figure out how a system (a team or an organisation) self-organises and reacts to or thrives on interference. I then entered the solution-focused world to discover a simple, fast-acting approach to complex challenges.

So, I have come full circle: as in the old days, I am supporting and nurturing people’s keenest dreams and hopes.

My Approach

Since I discovered the Solution Focused approach in 2005, it has become my core competence when I coach, facilitate, teach and supervise.

Whether doing 1:1 coaching, working with a team, doing supervision or facilitating large group processes, I am using this resource-oriented approach.

The video below gives an excellent short intro to the thinking behinde Solution Focused Coaching.
