Check out what is said about us.
Have become more creative, productive and visionary
“I have learned so much that has changed so much for me. I have significantly strengthened my self-worth and my direction, and my creativity and productivity have increased while my stress has decreased. I've got new good work habits, a great network and now even "impossible" dreams seem realistic"
“Nominated as Leader of the year and Colleague of the year”
“My current leadership training with Kirsten is the most transformative i have ever experienced. The fact that it lasts almost a year and with monthly and weekly virtual meetings, makes it impossible not to establish new practices... I have gained more physical strength, inner peace and not least more joy of life in general. The support from both Kirsten, her eminent and inspiring co-leaders and the entire cheering choir on the team means that i am now rooted in a community that gives me great strength and inspiration for my everyday life. With the results we already see for ourselves, those of us who participate in Kirsten's training this year, I can not imagine anyone other than Kirsten, who can bring a group of leaders regardless of their gender, so far in such a short time - and with so much joy, laughter, togetherness, inspiration, energy, spirit, motivation and perseverance. Kirsten is truly a master at bringing out the most beautiful light in all of us and ensuring that we are nourished for both body and soul. I have just been told that i am now both nominated for Colleague of the Year and Leader of the Year - it would not have happened without this training!"
“The best I have done for my career - it beats all outplacement programs”
“The leadership development course as a feminine future leader: it's the best thing i've done in my career, as the training deals with all the tools needed to lead in the new age as a whole person with the use of a feminine and masculine mind-set and practices. Highly recommend Kirsten Stendevad's training to everyone. It beats all outplacement programs"
