HOW WE CAN HELP
Â
One of Kirstens greatest assets is an unrivaled network of cutting edge illuminairies that she draws on for her leadership development programs. So you don´t hire a one-woman-band - unless you wish to: we can morph into many kinds of teams and deliver a customized upgrade to 21st Century leadership, the new ways of working and the transitioning from machine to organism.Â
What you can count on from Kirsten are the following expertises:
-Â to see and sense what is emerging before it dawns on others and help them understand where we are heading so they can adapt in time.
- to spot potential and possibilites where others see none.
-Â to help people evoke and evolve their true nature: their essence, often hidden under many layers of protection, trauma and habits.
- to go beyond asking the right questions and help people and businesses achieve their potential by releasing unconscious blocks, and incorporating new mindset and habits that are consistent with the highest vision.
- to "surf on chaos" instead of drowning in it and teaching it to others as it´s a usefull skill for everyone to master in the era of massive turbulence
- to help people and businesses turn a breakdown into a breakthrough
- to add access to the often hidden and forgotten feminine Power in all genders
- to help people create balance between their masculine and their feminine
- to attract extraordinary people, both as teachers, participants and network
- to activate collective intelligence through groups.
 - to help others discern between ego & essence which is a necessary skill considering that the ego is the one that causes suffering and the essence gives access to what´s needed in the new era: Clarity, Compassion, Genius and Peace.

MAIN MESSAGES
Â
1. Upgrade your Inner Operating System or die: Leadership as we used to know it is obsolete - the rules of the game have changed. For a start, leadership is not only for formal leaders - it´s for everyone with leader-DNA. Secondly, you need a new GPS to co-create the kind of future you would like to experience. So its vital to learn the new rules of the game. This way you can avoid becoming irrelevant as a leader and having your business go extinct in 5-10 years. Instead you can futureproof both your Career, Company and Humanity - in one go.ÂBackground: After a decade-long adventure in interim corporate roles across diverse organizations, I had enough work experience to conclude that business as usual is out of balance, especially for women and other "minorities".
I chose to let go of paycheck and a conventional career track and instead pursue a quest for solutions to the many problems I had observed.
I spent a decade as a US correspondent for Scandinavian media in New York City, focusing on megatrends, and taking numerous trainings on how to SHAPE the future. Then I went back to Europe to put my insights into practise and share them with others.
I have given countless talks and workshops in corporate environments, but I sensed from the beginning: The era where leadership only comes from appointed authorities is passé. Today, everybody must grab a task to help solve the many complex issues facing us collectively. That´s why I expanded to also work with entrepreneurs, investors and changemakers, animating Initiative, Purpose and New Ways of Working in everybody who crossed my path.
In my perspective it is important that we all take co-responsibility for co-creating our destiny, both our own and the common so that the future becomes a present we would like to experience. This can NOT be taken as a given these days. Either you lead, or you get led. In the "free" world, we have choice. And a responsability to use it on behalf of those who don´t (yet).
