"What I appreciated most about being coached by Neva was her calm, grounded style and her ability to create a space where I could think clearly. Her intuition and the way she asked questions were incredibly valuable — they consistently helped me get to the heart of what mattered. The biggest impact for me was the way she supported me in turning insights into concrete actions. I walked away with clarity, momentum, and tangible progress on my goals. Her coaching made a real difference."
— HR manager
I've lived three career transitions, three countries, and three burnouts. I've also spent 10+ years researching and teaching how leaders communicate. I bring both into every coaching conversation: the science and art of listening and the lived experience of starting again.
Mindful Listening is the heart of how I coach. First we listen inward, to your energy, your values, and what you already know. From there you can truly hear others and lead in a way that lifts them, too.
My approach is grounded in a PhD in Communication, years of work with emerging and established leaders, as well as my own career and life transitions.
"What I liked the most was the feeling of safety and trust that Neva created during our coaching sessions. For me those are very important as a base of coach & coachee relationship as we might touch upon vulnerable layers. Knowing and feeling that Neva is there, holding space with her presence and simple yet impactful questions, allowed me to go deeper into myself, find answers and see how I can actually implement them in reality, through daily habits, for example. As someone who has challenges receiving but is very good at giving, one of the learning from the sessions was that I can allow myself and deserve to receive support. I learned how important it is to have containers where we can explore parts of selves with others' guidance and presence. We have the answers and coaching with Neva supported me to bring the answers to light and give them voice too."
— Monique, Founder & Facilitator
"I really appreciated Neva’s calm and thoughtful approach. She listened without any judgement, created a safe space for open conversation, and helped me gain real clarity and insight into my next steps. I walked away from the session feeling more confident and focused about the direction I want to take."
— Katie, Marketing, TikTok
"I worked with Neva for a couple of months, and it quickly became clear to me that she is very empathetic and good at asking the right questions. I was at a point where I felt a bit stuck, and Neva was very supportive. Her questions helped me reflect on my own thoughts and feelings about my situation, while also challenging my mindset. After our sessions, I felt much clearer about my situation and had a plan for my next steps. I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Neva."
— Christina, Independent Coach
"Neva was curious and asked a lot of good questions that provoked me to think about myself and my situation, also what I would like for the future. She instantly made the environment comfortable. She seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying and I got the feeling that she was on my side."
— Petra, Digital Health Lead Nordics, Takeda
"Neva asked questions that helped me reflect on my business goals and the why of my business. It became very clear to me what my mission and the purpose is for my business."
— Elizabeth, Financial Coach & Investor
Read about the most frequent questions below, or book your free coaching session with me to find out first-hand.
Heroes don't beat the dragons alone. As they embark on the new adventure, heroes seek out helpers who provide them with wisdom, inspiration, and guidance needed to win their battle.
This is where coaching comes in. To put your brilliance to work, a coach will help you crystalize your aspirations, question your limiting beliefs, and cultivate a winning mindset and approach that works for you.
Think of coaching as a collaborative partnership, rather than a one-way street. A coach is not there to give you advise or mentor you, but to help facilitate your own learning and transformation through listening, asking questions, and providing relevant tools.
As with all other heroes out there: the answers you're seeking already lie within you. As your coach, I'm here to help you find them.
Here is the thing: you'll almost never feel 100% ready to make that next step. What better indicades whether or not coaching is something for you right now is one of the following:
❤ You've decided to do it differently this time, and feel open to approach things from a new angle.
❤ You've decided to go after your true wants. No more people-pleasing, hiding, or playing small.
❤ You've decided it's time to take action and invest in yourself. There will be no perfect timing, but now.
The coaching programs were designed based on different needs and challenges women I work with are commonly facing. If you find yourself in one of the following situations, the likelihood is that one of the programs could fit you well:
❤ You've just stepped into leadership, but are running on empty → Elevate Your Brilliance
❤ You've built a successful career, but something is asking to change → Your Next Chapter
❤ You have one decision to make, but you can't untangle it alone → Your Breakthrough Session
For more details, please read designated pages for each program, or reach out to me directly to explore together which coaching path might be the right one for you (neva@neva.coach).
I'm an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), with a PhD in Communication from Purdue University. I've also spent over 10 years teaching and mentoring future leaders at universities and business schools, including Copenhagen Business School.
My coaching fully follows the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics, so you get a professional, confidential space to grow, focused on you.
While I am not here to advise or mentor you, I do bring my own experience of career transitions, three countries, and three burnouts that informs the work I do.
I have coached people of all ages and walks of life, helping them create more self-awareness, step out of their comfort zone, and guiding them through big and small career and life changes.
The fact that I have worked with so many individuals of diverse backgrounds and from around the world (Denmark, Slovenia, UK, France, Finland, Spain, Belgium, etc.) who are facing similar challenges makes me think that we have much more in common than we think.
While I specialize in working with women leaders and founders, many other profiles (including men) reach out to me due to my calm, warm, and down-to-earth approach to facing challenges and exploring opportunities for growth.
I'm always happy to connect and explore whether I'm the right coach for you.
Pricing varies depending on the coaching engagement you choose. If you're currently between jobs, on maternity leave, or in otherwise vulnerable financial situation, you're always welcome to reach out and ask for a potential discount.
When it comes to coaching, it is so much about the good chemistry! Our coaching engagement typically starts with getting to know each other in a short call or coffee meeting to see if I'm the right coach for you—and equally important, if you're the right coachee for me.
From there, we together design your personalized coaching program that fits your schedule, wants, and needs, and agree on a set of clear expectations and timeline.
Coaching conversations are usually 60-90 min long each, spanning 4-12 months at the time. We typically meet every second week, either in-person (Copenhagen) or online.
Regardless of program length, you should expect the same kind of reciprocal commitment.
