ABOUT
I have always lived between two worlds
Business and the creative space, structure and imagination, logic and intuition. Most people choose one, whereas I never could.
HOW IT EVOLVED
That tension shapes everything I do.
I support leaders, teams and individuals at the moments when inherited ways of thinking stop being enough. When the map runs out and something new has to emerge. Not by abandoning rigour or experience, but by learning to think in a fuller way. One that draws on both analysis and intuition, structure and imagination, what we know and what we sense.
This is not a soft alternative to serious thinking, but extends into territory that most professional development never reaches.
BACKGROUND
A path that was never linear
I began my career in finance, working in banking then qualifying with PwC, learning the language and discipline of that world from the inside. Then I founded a creative business, built it over a decade, and sold it. Two worlds, lived consecutively, then simultaneously.
Over fifteen years of coaching leaders navigating change, teams stuck in patterns they couldn't see and individuals at the edge of something they couldn't yet name.
What has driven all of it is something harder to qualify. A lifelong fascination with why humans do what we do. How we create the reality we inhabit. What becomes possible when we stop mistaking our current map for the territory itself.
This draws on philosophy, psychology, the arts, anthropology and on older ways of knowing
Also rooted in a Scandinavian heritage that understands nature not as backdrop but as a teacher.
The question underneath all of it is how we make sense of the world and our thinking within it?
THE PHILOSOPHY
Not a formula, but a way of thinking
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all answers. I believe in developing the quality of thinking that allows each person and each team to find their own answers.
The Inner Compass Method is the distillation of that belief. It is rigorous and experiential, analytical and intuitive, structured and open. It asks something of the people who engage with it. It requires a genuine willingness to set aside what they already know, at least temporarily.
For those who bring that willingness, something shifts. Not because I prescribed it, but because they found their own way to it.
The experience meets you where you are and takes you somewhere you didn't anticipate.
