20 Years Experience in Management and Leadership

Gitte has 20 years of experience in management and leadership and through these years she has distilled what elements of a leadership style that can make you successful even when some of the other elements are missing and what elements that will most likely cause you to fail no matter what. She works with companies across all sectors. Some of the assignments being solely consultancy work, some solely coaching assignments but with most of them it was a combination of both.


Consultant, Coach and Strategic Thinker

As consultant Gitte is often being brought in to either help get a failed project back on track or to help organisational change projects with activities to establish an effective start-up of and to keep momentum during the project. Based on her experiences with change projects Gitte has created a manuscript for establishing and running successful change projects to support this work.

In coaching Gitte’s strategic mind is able to sort through all the words and stories and discern what is really important to get to the next step. With this and with her inquisitive questions she helps her clients dig deeper for the underlying causes of issues and non-productive behaviours. When this is clear it’s been quite easy for the clients to figure out which actions and changes are needed to improve their leadership style.
