Partnering with media & tech leaders to shape their future

What We Do

Attention and agency drives everything.

Above provides tailored 1:1 executive coaching for senior leaders and executives who want to lead with greater clarity and conviction.

Our approach is:

● Personalized: Every leader operates in a different context, with different ambitions, pressures, and challenges. We tailor each engagement to the individual, rather than relying on a fixed coaching formula.

● Outcome Focused: We define clear goals from the outset and focus on practical growth that can be seen in leadership effectiveness, decision-making, communication, and performance. We speak with your team members to get to know you better, and come back with actionable moves that can result in outsized impact.

● Global: Executive coach based in Copenhagen, working with senior leaders across Denmark, Europe, the UK, the US, and APAC. This brings perspectives across cultures, industries, and leadership environments.

Each coaching engagement is setup for tangible growth. We work with an array of leaders:

  1. Leaders who might be at a cross roads, navigating complexity, ready for expanded responsibilities or promotion

  2. Leaders from industries including media, technology, consumer products, and financial services

  3. Leaders from across the organization, including CEOs, CFOs, CHROs, Managing Directors, EVPs, SVPs, VPs, Directors, Managers, and high potentials

We have experience working through an array of common challenges leaders face, including communications, executive presence, or leading through change.
