Especially those you cannot change. I have dyslexia, and on a sidenote – why is the word for ‘trouble with pronouncing and spelling’ impossible to pronounce or spell? The last time that I was tested at my mid-twenties, I spelled like a 4th grader. I pronounce and spell words by memory, how I have heard others… Continue reading Embrace your flaws
Thoughts – The Blog
I am intrigued
As I wrote in my post regarding establishing a new routine, I have taken up running again and have noticed an interesting thing about my mindset. I run three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. And for some reason it is hard for me, to pull myself together on Saturdays. It is as… Continue reading I am intrigued
Habits – take 2 – How I incorporate a new routine

Changing habits
One of the subjects that often comes up in my coaching’s is habits and how to change them. And I think it is something we all have done or tried to do in our lives. It is a subject that interest me a lot and one I love to dive into. There are a lot of books and articles… Continue reading Changing habits

How often do you say or think that? I should clean my house. I should go for a run. I should call my mom. Does your ‘should’ give you the desire to do these things? Do you do them with joy? Or do they turn into something you just need to get done, to get it off your mind? The next time you discover a ‘should’, I invite you to stop and do this little… Continue reading I should
The art of compromising

Some compromises can be easy to make, some need perhaps negotiation and others can hurt to do. I have done them all. In all situations. When you compromise, it does mean that you are not getting fully… Continue reading The art of compromising
Transitioning from a world of science to a world of coaching
I have been a scientist for 20 years. I have loved my work, working in the laboratory, looking at data and trying to make sense of it. Only believing in what I could prove. Always looking critically on the results I obtained. Analysing, experimenting and confirming every step of the way to find my conclusions.

The 100 strangers project
Getting out of my comfort zone I saw a Facebook post about a guy who had the goal to have coffee with one hundred strangers in 2020 and I felt inspired. As an introvert, I am not feeling comfortable talking to strangers in social settings or without them having specifically invited me to take part… Continue reading The 100 strangers project
What the life as a freelance and location independent coach has already given me
I’m the type of person who feels obligated to my employer, coworkers, partners and clients in my employment. I don’t see that as a bad thing, in fact I see it as one of my strengths, but it has also meant in the past, that I sometimes had put my feeling of obligation above my… Continue reading What the life as a freelance and location independent coach has already given me
