“It is in the unknowing where the potential for change lives” ― Louise Rönnerdahl
Louise Rönnerdahl. Human Being. Leadership Coach.
My name is Louise and my dream is to see a world full of human flourishing.
As a very human leadership and executive coach, I have worked with thousands of senior executives across the world and organisations to help them take the leaps they need to become the leaders they want to, but have struggled to, become.
My belief is that we need depth to achieve growth, and through exploring the different domains of your humanity we can expand the range of your full potential.
In my care, we stay with what is as a vehicle to explore. We sit with your frustration, we stay with the feelings of void, we welcome everything that makes the human experience. Through this process, your comfort zone will expand. You will stop running away, you will stop suppressing the uncomfortable, and instead embrace your humanity.
From this place, everything is possible.
Together, we craft a unique path for you. I use a variety of approaches tailored to your specific needs, where my experience ranges from systems psychodynamic exploration, somatic coaching, family trauma and healing and more conventional approaches such as MBTI and various psychometrics.
Through a very non-linear career trajectory for the past 20 years, I have seen and lived tremendous joy, love and courage but also hardship, challenge and failure.
My experience spans across three continents and 102 countries. These explorations have taken me deep into the hidden aspects of human life, but also into the more complex aspects of our mind and what makes people like you and me tick. As well as what holds many humans back from exploring and living our true potential.
Most of the times we are our own invisible and unconcious source of suffering. Thus, we also possess the inner antidotes and the capability to achieve great happiness and joy.
My background
My own leadership roots grew strong in Africa, where I worked for Emerging Leaders to cultivate responsible and catalytic leadership in vulnerable communities for a more prosperous livelihood.
My early career was in management consulting and investment banking in the City of London, and I hold a MBA from INSEAD Business School and a Master of Business from University of Stockholm School of Business.
To further improve my own appreciation for the challenges that my clients face, I became part of the management team of a turnaround company in Tanzania in 2014, where authentic leadership was instrumental to deliver the most benefit and the least harm to everybody involved.
Since 2014 I have wholeheartedly dedicated the larger part of my life to coaching human beings and leaders towards more freedom and choice.
