Progressing Minds AS is a Norway-based leadership and organisational consultancy, founded in 2001.
Where my personal practice focuses on individual leaders and teams through coaching, advisory and speaking, Progressing Minds exists for engagements that require a company structure — corporate contracts, large-scale programme delivery, and multi-stakeholder work.
I am the founder and principal. The consultancy draws on the same framework that underpins all of my work: that behaviour shapes culture, culture shapes results, and the standards set at the top determine what becomes normal everywhere else.
