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 19, I experienced my first awakening to 21st-century leadership, recovering from typhoid fever through a paradigm shift rooted in applied quantum physics. Guided by a mentor, I accessed a higher intelligence—a capacity we all have, but few tap into—proving Einstein's insight: "You cannot solve a problem at the same level of thinking that created it." This transformative experience sparked my mission to catalyze inner shifts for leaders, aligning with my calling as a "Nordic Awakener of Higher Yin Intelligence."
Since then, I’ve sought methods to inspire similar transformations, exploring global traditions, apprenticing with Masters, and focusing on Feminine Energy & Wisdom—the world’s most underutilized resource in all genders. Through leadership labs and innovative techniques, I aim to unlock leadership potential for a new era.
With a global perspective from 35 years in international environments, I’ve co-authored 8 bestselling books, including The Future is Feminine – 7 Facets of 21st Century Leadership, and shared insights at venues like Harvard, MIT, and with industry leaders like Maersk and McKinsey.
My strengths lie in recognizing dormant potential in leaders and businesses and igniting it, supported by a world-class network of experts. Through the Illumina International Group, I offer scalable, customized training in 21st Century Leadership, Regenerative Business, and New Ways of Working for organizations of all sizes.
Here I am today and that is why I designed this program for you
I’ve faced personal and professional crises: losing my 7-year-old child, going through a divorce after 25 years, and evolving as an entrepreneur. These experiences taught me that breakdowns can catalyze breakthroughs.
In our world of multi-crises, leaders must learn to transform crises into quantum leaps, upgrading to an inner OS that ends cycles of fear and destruction. When I lost my son, I sought timeless truths to guide leaders who want to drive positive change through business. Four years of research, academic rigor, and countless interviews led me to create a 21st-century leadership model, outlined in my latest book.
This model, based on the "7 Facets of 21st Century Leadership," aligns with the seven main energy centers in humans, offering a life-affirming, evolutionary approach to leadership. Unlike outdated models, it is futureproof, supporting natural growth and ensuring resilience.
The Illumina International Leadership Academy programs center around these seven facets, offering tailored mentoring that helps participants clarify their purpose, refine their vision, and strategize for success. Group formats provide a supportive community that fosters deep connections, often leading to lasting friendships and partnerships.
Since 1998, I’ve facilitated transformative leadership circles that leverage collective intelligence as a fast track to growth. Our programs feature measurable, impactful tools and dynamic role models from diverse industries, showing firsthand the power of innovative leadership. To fit busy schedules, our training materials are available as audio, making it easy to integrate insights on-the-go from anywhere in the world.

THAT ENABLE YOU TO:


UPGRADE YOUR BRAIN
"The most important skill in the 21st Century is the ability to unlearn and relearn" said Alvin Toeffler, author of "Future Schock".
The problem is that if you are young you are too distracted - and braindamaged by too much scrolling and information overload. And if you are old you are too rigid and inflexible. And at the risk of being replaced by the much more agile AI.
This is why we have partnered with a UK company who spent the past 25 years developing a program that can rewire your brain for better memory, focus, concentration, decisionmaking skills and UN/learnability in only 10 minutes a day for 90 days.
95% of users in 87 countries say they exoerience "significant improvements" in at least 5 cognitive skills.

”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!
