Why is Emotional Intelligence important for executives?
Leadership is cultivated, not inherited and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the catalyst for success: research shows that effective leadership is fueled by 10 specific social and emotional skills, collectively known as Emotional Intelligence. These skills can be assessed and developed as needed.

I empower leaders to build trust, foster open communication, and create environments where psychological safety and innovation thrive: through rigorous psychometric assessments, personalized coaching, and strategic consulting.
-
I am driven by the conviction that every leader and team can unlock their true potential when equipped with the right tools, insights and supports. After all, we spend so much time dedicated to our work - why not make it an even better experience for everyone involved?

My purpose is to guide you in developing the empathy, resilience, clarity, and adaptive mindset necessary to navigate complex challenges, so you and your organization can make a lasting, positive impact.

Thorbjorg Helga “Tobba” - CEO Kara Connect
“I thought every workplace should be required to deliver this talk for their teams and ensure that there is room for questions and answers.
I was thoroughly happy with the workshop. I learned a lot of new things to share to my team and in fact shared a lot from the talk. I really think many people are not aware of how bad the situation is and how many people still struggle with their identity”.
