**Helping leaders and organizations thrive in the age of AI through psychology, wellbeing and regenerative thinking.** I am an Organizational Psychologist, Executive Coach, Speaker, Author and Entrepreneur from Norway with more than 25 years of experience helping leaders, teams and organizations unlock human potential and create sustainable performance. I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Leadership and Organizational Psychology from BI Norwegian Business School and am certified in Co-Active Coaching (CTI), Organization & Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC), BIG5, cut-e and Jung Type Indicator (JTI). My career spans leadership and HR roles in international companies including Microsoft, Intelecom and Funcom, together with consulting assignments across technology, healthcare, finance, education and the public sector. Over the years I have designed and delivered leadership programmes, keynote presentations, executive coaching, organizational development initiatives and workshops for thousands of leaders and employees. I am the founder of MadeToGrow and HumanPotential, where I have developed more than 60 digital learning programmes focused on leadership, wellbeing, personal growth and organizational development. I am also the author of two Norwegian books introducing my 5M Framework, which integrates Meaning, Motivation, Mindset, Mastery and Environment into a practical model for individual and organizational flourishing. In recent years my work has evolved beyond traditional leadership development towards Wellbeing Economy, regenerative leadership, systems thinking and the future of work in an AI-enabled world. I believe we need to redesign organizations and society around human wellbeing rather than simply economic growth, while using responsible AI to strengthen uniquely human capabilities such as creativity, wisdom, empathy, collaboration and purpose. I am currently developing future research exploring how societies can move beyond GDP as the dominant measure of success towards governance systems based on wellbeing, flourishing and long-term societal value. Alongside my consulting work, I am developing Langeli, a regenerative farm and living laboratory in Norway where nature, food production, learning, community and technology come together to explore new approaches to leadership, education, innovation and sustainable living. My workshops, retreats and keynote presentations are immersive learning experiences designed to create reflection, meaningful dialogue and lasting behavioural change. Clients often describe my strength as seeing connections across disciplines, identifying underlying patterns and translating complex ideas into practical action. Everything I do is guided by one question: **How can we help people, organizations and societies flourish in a rapidly changing world?**
