What clients say about me:

´I have some experience in coaching but have to say the sessions I've been receiving with Vegard have been some of the most insightful I've ever received. He's an expert at helping me to uncover the deep subconscious assumptions and behaviours that prevent me from achieving my goals. Then he challenges me to embed new behaviours. Things have been shifting in a very positive direction since I started the work with him. I'm doing the work I've always dreamed of. Highly recommended!´- Andy Paice

´These coaching sessions were transformational in helping me to breakthrough personal limitations, take on more challenging opportunities and grow my business. - Ieva Padagaite

What makes you passionate about your work?

Helping ambitious teams, leaders and entrepreneurs work from their strengths, communicate and collaborate better so that they can take big steps towards achieving their ambitious goals.



What inspires you most in your work?

Seeing how ambitious leaders grow when they truly understand their unique leadership style, integrate their shadow sides and let go of any fears or limiting beliefs that was blocking them in the past. I am also fascinated to see how teams naturally align and work so much better when they understand each other´s unique and different leadership styles.

About me

I started working full time as a coach in 2011 and have since coached and trained hundreds of clients and done courses and workshops with many teams and groups internationally. I´ve worked with many different target groups over the years, but since 2016 my focus has mainly been on helping mission driven leaders and entrepreneurs develop the mindset to take their business to the next level.

A big part of my work is helping leaders understand their unique leadership style. This work is about helping leaders gain deep understanding of their core values and strengths and identify how they can apply their unique values and strengths in the best possible ways to achieve their goals.

Another central part of my work is helping leaders develop the mindset that helps make them and their business grow regardless of changes going on in their external environment. Key aspects in this work is strengthening leadership balance and integrating shadow leadership sides. From my experience, you cannot significantly grow as a leader without being aware of and integrating your shadow leadership sides. This work is about exploring and learning new aspects of yourself as a leader and integrating these in meaningful ways which also support your mission. Doing this work help leaders strengthen their focus significantly, grow their self-confidence and raise their belief in their mission and the goals they want to achieve.
