I will work with you to establish clarity around where you are at right now, and where you want to be in the future. I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which I work and live. I respect their ongoing custodianship of the land. I pay my respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and Elders past and present. I was born in 1963 in the North of Norway, Holmstad Sortland
I moved to Hob
art Tasmania in 2007, and I now work and live in Howden Kingborough with my wife Anna. I have two daughters from my first marriage (Cathrine 1991 and Ida 1999), and two stepsons via Anna (Will 1998 and Toby 2001)
I have a Batchelor of Engineering, Control Science / Process Automation, and have worked for Nutreco/Skretting for over 27 years. 10 years in Norway and 17 years in Tasmania/Australia. I am a highly experienced Problem solver, manager and leader. I am experienced working in multicultural environments and bring all my experience across to my Coaching work. I am a cancer survivor and have experienced significant life trauma, enabling me to be very present to your experiences and challenges. Since almost 10 years I have been heavily engaged with an amazing environment of men that are active in supporting boys and men and their Health and Wellbeing, physical as well a mental. Learning how to engage and establish a safe non-judgemental environment has been profound and powerful. I pay tribute to my coaches and mentors within Tasmen Health and Wellbeing Association as well as Men's Resources Tasmania
I work across the three main tenants of personal and group existence:
- what we Know
- what we Do
- who we are Being
Most will acknowledge that in our lives we are making substantial efforts building Knowledge (Education), developing the skills to utilize this knowledge (Organize / Structure) BUT not much time and awareness assigned to looking after ourselves on a personal level. I assert that this is the main reason for so much stress and suffering, which in turn will also start to impact those around us (Family, Friends and Work)
I work both face to face and online. My client is English speaking or Norwegian speaking. I am very passionate about working with men and especially men in leadership, however any person who is interested in Personal Development Work can be my client.
