Our Dream, is to exeed leadership to a new level - Level 5. On this level, you will find those hidden resources and the self confidence, that enable you to rest in yourself, communicate in a way that allow the message to come through, radiate spirit ad carisma and enable you to become the good example of others.
Move forward to a new leadership platform and be ready to match the challenges of the 21. century.

Dansk Ledertraening plans and executes activities and seminars for company leadership and employees in private as well as public companies. The lay-out of these activities is based on our vast experience as coaches and as military personnel in the Special Forces, and in respect to your wishes.

Our main objective is to strengthen the self-confidence of the participants. The goal is for the entire team to succeed, while under stressful and uncertain influences. Thus, the individual team member will have to solve conflicts and make decisions – while at the same time attempting to serve as an inspiring and creative role model - in this manner the human resources of the company will become apparent. It is our belief, that human resources are the core value, and the most important parameter, when ideas and concepts have to come to life.

I have since 1994 worked with Lasse Zäll (at that time CEO Scanfutura). I introduced the thinking and backbone of Dansk Ledertræning, and the first steps of the Pathfinder programme took place. Today, Dansk Ledertræning’s contribution is known as Module 2 “The Border”. In 1999, I was hired as a senior coach by Pathfinder A/S, where my focus was on closed pathfinder programmes, strategic processes and pro-active seminars. In my time as a Pathfinder coach, I have contributed to the development of nearly all programmes up until 2006, and I graduated well over 300 pathfinders, a fact that I’m very proud of.

My years as a change agent at LEGO were characterized by change management, new design and implementation of major change processes in the branch of the organisation called the SDU (Strategic Development Units, with a staff of 1,200). The task here was to re-engineer the organisation from a line organisation to a well-functioning matrix organisation, and to cut down product development’s time to market, which was 4 years at the time, to half. This task involved responsibility for the development and implementation of management tools, structures and training plans. Implementing the entire re-engineering process took two and a half years, and the procedures and management tools developed in the process are still in use.

Parallel with the completion of the re-engineering process, I came in charge of a project that was unique in terms of requirements and goals. Since, at the time, LEGO was losing major market shares, I was asked to develop an anti-competitor product from scratch, with a development time of just one year using the procedures and management tools mentioned above. The product was launched in time.

My leadership and managerial training was initiated in the army where I rose to the rank of officer. I completed my career (approx. 25 years) with the rank of major. Along the way I have done a lot of continuation training in such disciplines as psychology and education. I’m a certified Master, Physical Training (a 3-year course). This training brought me in touch with some of the rather elitary sports such as orienteering and fencing. For a while, I was on both of the military national teams, both as an active participant and as a team captain. I won the Danish Championship in both sports. For the last 12 years of my military career I served in the danish special force unit, Jaegercorps (Jaeger No. 197) with the title Commanding Officer Training (CO). I was in charge of the recruiting, selection and maintenance of all training of the unit on land, at sea and in the air.
