I CAN HELP YOU LEAD FROM THE HEART WITH PASSION & PURPOSE
It is possible to lead in new ways that (dis)solves the old problems. I've been there and helped countless experience the same - with ease.
At the age of 19, I experienced my inaugural awakening to 21st-century leadership, a transformative event triggered by my spontaneous recovery from typhoid fever through an inner paradigmshift illuminated by the "magic" of applied quantum physics. Guided by a mentor, I experienced ascension to a realm of higher intelligence - a part of the brain everyone has access to, but very few use.
This gave me a direct experience of Einsteins saying: "You cannot solve a problem at the same level of thinking that created it". It taught me that in order to make the seemingly impossibe possible, we need to create an inner shift. This ignited my calling as a 'Nordic Awakener & Evolver of Higher Intelligence': I believe that an upgrade of consciousness is the only way we can avoid planetary breakdown, and instead realize the possibility of a Bright future for All - starting from the inside-out and expanding from the bottom-up, regardless of titles.
Since then, my quest has been to unearth evidence and wield tools capable of catalyzing similar transformations in others. I've traversed diverse traditions, apprenticing under various Masters, with a particular focus on harnessing the boundless potential of Feminine Energy & Wisdom, deemed by many as the world's greatest untapped natural resource - in all genders. Through the initiation of numerous leadership laboratories and the exploration of ancient and cutting-edge technologies, I've endeavored to unlock latent capacities for leadership R/Evolution.
I spent the majority of my first 35 years immersed in international milieus, which gave me a global outlook. I've co-authored 8 bestselling books, including the pioneering Gyldendal Business publication: 'The Future is Feminine – 7 Facets of 21st Century Leadership' (forthcoming in English). I've disseminated insights through talks and workshops, including at prestigious institutions such as Harvard Business School, MIT, and Simmons Graduate School of Management, alongside engagements with industry giants like Maersk, McKinsey & Co, and Mercedes, among others.
With 10 years of corporate experience and over 2 decades as a entrepreneur, a MA background in Culture & Communication, complemented by diverse training pursuits ranging from Kundalini Yoga to Inner MBA and Regenerative leadership studies, I am based in Copenhagen, Denmark, operating both in physical and digital domains.
I have more than 20 years of experience in training the formal and informal leaders of the future. My strength is the ability to see dormant potential in your and your business and help evoke and evolve it. Another strength is an unrivalled network of Worldclass capacities who enable the Illumina International Group I founded to offer scaleable, yet customized products and trainings in the arena of 21st Century Leadership, Regenerative Business and New Ways of Working for leaders and their organizations, whether small, midsize or large.
Here I am today and that is why I designed this program for you
I have gone through both personal and professional crises: as a mother when I lost my 7 year old middle child to cancer, as a woman when I got divorced after 25 years and as an entrepreneur every time I shifted level.
Therefore I know that the breakdown of the old structures in life and business can give access to the breakthrough of a New Dawn.
As the World is in poly meta crisis, I believe all leaders need to - and deserve - to learn the art of turning crises into quantum leaps. And to upgrade to the inner OS that prevents the endless repetition of fear, suffering and destructive patterns.
When my old life and identity died with my 7 year son in 2012, I looked for timeless, universal Truths to guide the way forward for myself and other people with leader-DNA who want to use business as a vehicle for positive personal, professional and planetary change - in one go.
4 intense years of research later, thanks to my academic methodology, my innovative leadership labs and countless interviews and mentoring sessions with formal and informal leaders, I managed to distill a leadership model for the 21st Century, described in my latest trendsetting business book.
Although my kids lovingly joke that I teach "Kirstenianity", it´s not. Without being intended, it turns out that the 7 facets of this new Leadership Navigator correspond with the 7 main energy centers in humans. Thus, when we allow these 7 core principles to make up the spine of our leadership and organizational DNA, we are guaranteed to be on a LIFE-AFFIRMING track. This makes good business-sense as we are then guaranteed evolutionary upwind. Whereas the old leadership, which is out of alignment with (our) Nature, is up against the evolutionary impulse and therefore on dinosauring track.
The new leadership model can both be used as a Futureproofing GPS for our times as well as a diagnostic tool, both at Home, at Work and in the World.
The programs at Illumina International Leadership Academy are centered around these 7 Facets of 21st Century Leadership. They offer personalized mentoring tailored to each participant's unique journey, focusing on "popping" their Purpose, clarifying their Calling, refining their Vision, Strategizing for Success under the NEW circumstances, and overcoming obstacles hindering their dream scenario. The group format gives participants a safe community that acts as a fertile space for both inner and outer growth.
I have created uplifting leadership circles since 1998 because I know from experience that collective intelligence is the fasttrack to transformation and creativity. One of our trademarks is the quality of these networks: Participants connect deeply and often make friends and business partners for life. Because I know we often need to see the Change to believe it, we not only use technologies resulting in measurable improvements, but also introduce people to dynamic role models from diverse industries, each showcasing their distinctive leadership approaches in tackling the myriad of challenges confronting individuals, organizations, and society.
Finally, in order to honor your precious time, our training materials are conveniently accessible as audio files, allowing participants to gain invaluable insights on-the-go, seamlessly integrating with their bustling daily schedules, (almost) wherever in the World you are.

INTRODUCING
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The journey of transformation to an Illuminary Leader of a Bright future begins with an individual personal assessment so each participant is clear on their vision and areas of focus along the way.
For three months in the first part of the program, participants use a revolutionary, unique neurological training program that functions as a reboot of an often overcrowded mind and helps to fix viruses in the brain's autopilot.
The result is an upgrade of short- and longterm memory, focus, problemsolving skills, social skills and EQ. This also has the added benefit of improved learning during the rest of the training.
We are the only leadership academy in the World that help participants literally rewire and upgrade their brain capacity and - as if this wasn´t plenty - add a revolutionary technology, known from the military, EMDR, that helps heal our subconscious self-destructive patterns.
Besides these two ingredients, the program consists of hybrid training (online and offline), weekly group mentoring, masterminding, online training and individual sessions.
The training works on all aspects of being a powerful human, so we include theory, embodiment, energy work and emotional mastery. Thus participants will strengthen both their mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, energetic, creative and collective intelligence.
The new leadership paradigms are "massaged" into the system through the powerful Field where learning is accelerated through the group.
With our Leadership Training, you gain not just valuable knowledge, but also practical tools to develop your personal leadership and handle your areas of responsibility.
Here are some highlights:
✔ Get clarity on your hidden gifts and unique lifepurpose

I never write anything on social media, but now I'm doing it anyway and I hope you'll take a look - for your own sake :-)
Yesterday I finished an absolutely wonderful 9-month program with Kirsten Stendevad. I would recommend this training to EVERYONE!
But especially managers or those who want to expand their leadership or those who lack general life inspiration and those who want to find their own completely unique abilities.
This course can do so much that I cannot describe it in any adequate way.
I have been on a totally life-changing journey into the depths of my own mind, and have come out the other side a whole new person - myself, just as I am.
To all of you - take the opportunity to go on a journey that offers fantastic new opportunities - take the Leadership training with Kirsten Stendevad.

”Have taken my company to a whole new level"
9 months ago I was in crisis mode, my personal and professional lives felt intense, fear was creeping in, and I knew I needed a change.
I chose to invest in myself, and it may have been one of the most important investments I’ve ever made. Taking this leadership training has taken me and my company to new heights already and I can´t wait to continue to experience the effects of this leap on my life.
Thank you, Kirsten!
