In an inspirational dialogue with Bjarke Stephansen, owner at innomentor, I have set new goals for my leadership. The ambitious goals were through adjusted leadership focus on my part, to make my large CTO organization more self-reliant, being able to deliver on goals and meet deadlines with less supervision and guidance from me. This should allow me, amongst other things, to focus more on customers, their future needs and business cases and incorporate these understanding in our strategy to create a competitive edge for our company. In the process Bjarke assisted me with very useful council and best practice tools stemming from his vast experience with leadership development. I succeeded to reach my goal to accommodate for a more self-leading organization and a marked increase in my value contribution to the commercial success of our company. I give Bjarke my highest recommendations.

Har været igennem et meget professionelt forløb sammen med Bjarke fra Innomentor, hvor der blev givet en super brugbar sparring til ledere på flere niveauer i organisationen. Personligt var det en øjenåbner på mange områder. Ved Bjarkes hjælp arbejdes der mere sammen i den rigtige og samme retning.

Few people have the opportunity to engage with a great business coach and inspiring mentor. I have that opportunity. I am extremely grateful to have meaningful discussions with Bjarke, about my personal and business development.

I have been working with Bjarke for some time now and meet on a frequent basis throughout the year. Bjarke has a wealth of knowledge and has been coaching and mentoring captains of industry for many years. Bjarke shares insights into best practice and guides you to becoming better at leading your team and adding value to your organisation.

I always leave our meetings feeling inspired and often take away something new to add to my business ‘toolbox’ that will help me become better in my work life.

Bjarke earns my highest recommendation for his business and leadership coaching

I have had the pleasure of having Bjarke as mentor in an Outplacement process. Bjarke did a very professional and dedicated effort in this process which made me reflect on a lot of stuff both personally and professional. His ability to look into and beyond barriers and limitations is extraordinary, and I must say that the sessions with Bjarke has been most helpful in my considerations for my next job and employment.
I can only recommend Bjarke – and would seek his consultancy again, should the need arise.
Thanks a million Bjarke

I had the pleasure of being the mentee in a very beneficial mentor/mentee-sparring relation with Bjarke Stephansen. Bjarke definitely belongs to a small and exclusive category of “truly serious consultants” – always well prepared, always mentally present, and always with a keen and professional eye for the mentee’s unique set of expectations, context, and challenges. Bjarke works whole-heartedly, challenges his mentee on multiple levels, and combines business with more spiritual aspects in a way that inspires you to look at yourself and at “things” from a different perspective. I achieved greatly from the sparring with Bjarke – as a manager and as a person.

I have used Bjarke Stephansen as my personal coach in a number of occasions and often in connection with significant business transformations. Bjarke is very professional and orchestrates his coaching based upon your immediate challenges and demands pulling on his tool-box. Bjarke has also worked as coach for members of my leadership team ensuring synergies and consistency. I can recommend Bjarke as a very skilled coach never afraid also to give something of himself.

It was – and always is – a great pleasure working with Bjarke. He is very strong in his individual coaching and he puts a lot of effort into preparing and working structured with the leadership team. Sharing his insights from a long track record working with business leaders on many levels was particularly valuable. Hence, we are now well equipped to continue our leadership journey. I can therefore highly recommend reaching out to Bjarke should you be in need for qualified coaching, leadership development and much more. You will not be dissapointed.

RTX has been working with Innomentor and Bjarke since late 2012. Bjarke is a very good listener – analyzing initially the needs of the person to be coached before guiding the path forward. We have also used Innomentor with success as a facilitator at team building like events, where Bjarke’s diplomatic and analytical skills comes in handy to secure progress and precisely summarize results.
