What People Say

Norun’s Self Leadership coaching program is a must for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves through powerful self-discovery ideas and techniques. Norun is a kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable coach who is an absolute delight to be around. Her course totally transformed my way of thinking and living for the better. Everything she speaks about is easy to understand and helpful. She has a real gift with her coaching style and course material is top notch! I highly recommend her course and any course she puts out. The insights I gained personally are so valuable and very grateful to Norun for sharing her knowledge and wisdom. Norun is a gem of a coach.

Norun’s Self-Leadership Program is one of a kind and has had a profound impact on how I understand myself and show up in the world. She has masterfully crafted a program that builds upon deep knowledge of human psychology and behavior sciences combined with practical tools and applications to take immediately into daily life. With her program, I was able to connect with my authentic voice and step into my personal power. As a facilitator, Norun has the gift of creating an atmosphere of trust, empathy, and openness. I found her course material rich with content, well-organized, and something I will certainly revisit for reference and guidance. Her signature 6-Step Process for Effective Self-Regulation Technique that she has created is fantastic and I use it now on a regular basis in personal and professional situations. Her extensive experience and deep reflections shine through the program and she brings a unique interdisciplinary understanding to the essence of self-leadership. It has been a journey of deep reflection and transformation. I feel stronger and empowered having completed her program, to which I am very grateful.

Norun is a very professional, open, and empathic coach. After the discovery session she could design a great program that perfectly suite my needs. The coaching has been a great introspective experience, during which I could learn powerful techniques to apply in stressful situations. Norun has been a precious guide throughout the sessions: her interactive way of working allowed me to become more aware of my strengths and weakness and made the whole experience pleasant and enjoyable.

The better we know ourselves, the better we can lead us and as a result the better we can lead other people. It starts from within. Norun offered the theories, tools, and guidance to do exactly that – to focus on our deepest feelings and thoughts to get to know ourselves better. It is a challenging and exhausting process and requires much commitment, but it is worth it. Norun helped to recognize patterns and offered ways to break through them. Her charming nature and passion for self development are very motivating.

This “Self-Leadership” program is thoughtful and thought-provoking with so many layers to the presentation. Norun meets the client where they are at in life and gives them plenty of room to grow. It is a must to go over the slides again in your own time to fully immerse yourself in the content and to dig deeper. Each time I passed through the material, more is revealed to me about what is my meaning and purpose in life. How do I authentically show up for myself and for others? I can see having this material as part of one’s annual check-in of life…

I really appreciated Norun’ flexibility; the fact that she was able to adapt to my changing needs; she has given me tools, encouragement and guidance. I really enjoyed working with her; she takes her time and she shares her own experiences which is extremely helpful. This has been a real exchange which was precisely what I was looking for. As a result of the coaching I am must clearer on my own objectives, needs and wishes. This is key for me while moving forward in my professional career as well as in my private life.

The self-leadership programme is the one everyone must take irrespective of their job positions even worthwhile for jobless people to be able to expand their vision and better self-understanding. The programme not only boosts personal leadership features but also touches on mental wellbeing. Interactive exercises and not being just a listener in the programme is another fruitful aspect of the programme. The course is highly recommended for anyone who would like to understand how to first lead themselves and then the others.

Norun has truly helped me with her kindness, expertise and easiness to Earn Trust and never forget the most important things in life: define one’s important values. We all live in a very busy schedule, always on the go and with the pandemic sometimes it even feels that we are working non-stop. During Norun’s sessions I felt peaceful, she reminded me about what is important in a professional career and in life in general. I highly recommend her coaching and mentorship sessions because they felt like a breath of fresh air, made me reconsider some of my beliefs and thanks to her I managed to change teams and find what is truly important for me and for my future.

I was very happy to take this Leadership Development Programme. That was very helpful to broaden my knowledge on the subject as well as to give me clarity about things that you may already do but might be unaware of. I highly recommend it.
