Mental advisory & leadership

MentallyAnchoredLeadership®

Leadership that starts on the inside. I work with managers and leaders who want to stand steady when demands increase, through mental training, coaching and conversations that go a little deeper.

Philosophy

Calm is not the opposite of drive.

Most leaders do not need more pressure. They need a way to stay clear when the pressure is already there. Mental grounding is the practice of noticing what is happening in you before you act on it.

That is where decisions become cleaner, conversations become honest and teams become easier to trust. It is trained, not inherited, and it holds up best when it is practised in the situations that actually matter.

There is nothing brave about pretending to be unaffected.

About

I am a leader, author, mental adviser and speaker. With more than 30 years of leadership experience at local, regional, national and international level, I work in the space between politics, public administration, business, academia and civil society.

Today I am Head of External Relations and Strategic Place Development at Region Västerbotten. Alongside that I coach managers and leadership teams, lecture on communication and mental training, and support those who carry large responsibility.

Method

Four steps, repeated until they hold.

  1. 01

    Listen in

    We start with the present: what works, what chafes and what you actually want.

  2. 02

    Find focus

    We define what matters and set goals you can recognise in everyday work.

  3. 03

    Train in reality

    Mental training happens in meetings, decisions and conversations, not only in my room.

  4. 04

    Anchor

    We build routines that hold when the pace increases, and follow up what changes.
