What People Are Saying?

After years, having Elisabeth as a true smart and professional colleague, it's great to see her new direction. She is, as always, looking for a challenge, and now also being generous to coach others to find their new spark and energy. I can really recommend a session with her if you need to sort out your reality with guidance, giving it a perspective, including many years of creative experience and knowledge.

– Christian Aronsen, Creative Director, Architecture MSA/SAR

“Elisabeth has a unique talent in pinpointing exactly what you need help with - and make you realize that, without feeling controlled in any particular direction. Five sessions with Elisabeth’s comforting, clear minded and intelligent approach gave me many aha-moments, a totally new view of different connections and a stable foundation to continue build on by myself. I highly recommend Elisabeth’s guidance regardless of what you face or need help with – big as small.”

— Louise Alsheimer Niklasson

“I recommend Walk & Talk with Elisabeth. New insights every time (including the time I cancelled)!” 

– Anna L Andrén

“My coaching with Elisabeth has been highly developing. Through her questions and empathic attitude she has deepened my thinking process and self reflection. Elisabeth’s coaching has made me verbalise and visualise my thoughts, leading to tangible goals that we have followed up on together. It has strengthened my self esteem and I have gone from dreams to action.”

— Jörgen Persson, Teacher, The International School of The Hague

“Elisabeth was of great help to me at a time when I was searching for a new direction in my career. By listening and asking the right questions she got me thinking about what really was important to me. Through this process I got back into my stride and found a new job that fit both my career goals and my overall life situation.”

— Per Olsson

“The best part about getting coached by Elisabeth is feeling like the progress is my own achievement. Like if I have come to conclusions about what’s best for me together with my more insightful self. By hearing the right questions and becoming provoked to question my thoughts, I have been able to define which goals are truly important and how I can work toward them. I have also realized the importance of taking myself seriously.  Elisabeth is very good at inspiring, motivating and drawing out thoughts that make the future a bit more exciting and interesting, both for work and my private life.”

– Emma Cosmo, Project Leader Business Plan Communication IKEA of Sweden

“”There is a fundamental distinction to be made between two kinds of thinking: figuring out what we would like to achieve, and working out how to achieve it. Put another way, there is a key difference between strategy on the one hand and execution on the other…It is natural to assume that we would spend a lot of time on strategy before we turned our attention to execution…But there is a paradoxical aspect to the way our minds operate: as a general rule, we’re much better at execution than at strategy.”

I read this passage from the School of Life book “How to think more effectively” just before a coaching session with Elisabeth Björkbom. For me, this sums up what her coaching is all about – giving time to strategic thinking. Strategy is something I rarely think about but having the sessions with Elisabeth has focused my attention on not just what I am doing, but why I am doing what I am doing. The time with Elisabeth has therefore been very valuable and made me stop and think rather than carrying on without much thought. She has the ability to ask the right questions to encourage an analytical look at everyday life. 

— Peter Goddard, copywriter and journalist

Elisabeth helped me find a clear path forward in two and large assignments with start-ups, both at an overall and very concrete operational level. The coaching is extremely effective when Elisabeth in no time and with an intelligent fingertip feeling put focus on where the challenge lies, and we could start working directly on what needed to be done. In a very inspiring way. I highly recommend Elisabeth coaching, whatever you need to get on with.
