Hi! I’m Anders, and I work with leadership development and HR at the Norwegian Opera & Ballet.
Two years ago, I chose to step out of the consulting world and join the Norwegian Opera & Ballet—to help strengthen the community and make a real difference. It’s a decision I’ve never once regretted, because art and performance are simply part of who I am.
Today, I’m fortunate to work with four wonderful colleagues, 45+ leaders and great people and together we elevate leadership development, HR advisory, engagement and organizational culture.
I care deeply about helping people connect better, have real conversations, and be more present with each other — because that’s when things truly start to move. That belief was only reinforced during my years as a mediator at the National Mediation Service, where I witnessed time and again that even the toughest challenges can be transformed—and that no relationship is ever beyond restoration. A fact made undeniable by my dialogue training in South Africa.
I believe that self-awareness, psychological safety, and honest, thoughtful communication are what really drive great results. After 15 years in leadership and more than 4,000 hours of coaching individuals and teams, I’ve dedicated myself to both understanding and showing how people and teams actually grow stronger—together.
I’ve seen how powerful it can be when people are given space to feel safe and honest—whether in creative settings, international environments, or different industries. I believe it’s authenticity and curiosity that drive real change, and that we all have what it takes to grow and succeed together—while creating both results and meaningful lives.
My journey has taken me from Norway to the tundras of Siberia, through Mongolia, South Africa, the US and Canada, down the Americas, and back home again. Along the way, I’ve learned that real growth starts from within—together with others—and through the genuine conversations we share.
Curious to know more about this journey and how it shapes my approach?
