About Me
As a leadership and mindset coach, I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals who struggle with impostor syndrome — especially those ready to step into greater leadership, visibility, or career advancement. My clients are ambitious, qualified, and deeply committed to excellence — but despite outward success, they privately wrestle with self-doubt, overworking, perfectionism, or feeling like a fraud.
They want to grow their impact, lead authentically, and advance with confidence — without sacrificing their well-being, values, or personal life. But fear of being “found out,” of failing, or not being “enough” can keep them stuck, playing small, or holding back from opportunities they’ve earned.
Up until now, they may have relied on results to prove their worth or hoped the next promotion or credential would finally bring confidence. But self-doubt doesn’t vanish with achievement — it needs to be rewired at the mindset level. That’s where I come in.
My approach blends deep mindset work with practical leadership development. I’m trained in executive coaching, positive psychology, hypnotherapy, communication, and impostor syndrome interventions (by the Impostor Syndrome Institute and Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin). I offer a structured yet compassionate coaching space that helps clients normalize their inner struggles, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and build sustainable confidence and resilience.
With three decades in corporate leadership, I have faced and navigated just about any challenge you find in the modern work place. I have also lived and worked around the world and know what it feels like to be different and the courage it takes to stand out.
My clients make significant progress in just 7 weeks with my structured approach, so if you’re ready to lead with clarity, grow with influence, and feel like you belong at the table — I’d love to support your journey.
Let's get to know each other. If we are a good fit, my first session is always complimentary.

Karsten is incredibly knowledgeable. He understands human nature almost like a psychologist. He doesnt just listen he truly hears me. He focuses with 100% attention and helps me see a path wider than I sometimes can. Im a visionary creator, and I need a compassionate, flexible, strong, and humanistic partner someone who can support me when Im either falling or succeeding. Karsten is at home in the world of business and corporate life, yet hes also creative in finding new solutions. He creates a friendly atmosphere for deep personal and professional development. Every session is an intellectual workout in a gentle mode. And yes, we work hard! I speak from both confidence and vulnerability, self-belief and doubt. Every hour is full of insight, thoughtful questions, and new discoveries. Karsten has my back. I know it. I feel it. If hes available call him. Youll be lucky to work with him.

A fellow human being with a big heart, who genuinely cares and brings unwavering commitment to your growth - these are just a few of the rare leadership qualities Karsten embodies and continues to inspire in me. Karsten helped me see what I once believed was beyond my reach. He encouraged me to apply courage, focus, and consistency, which in turn helped me recognize and unfold my true potential. I'm deeply grateful for the transformation I've experienced through his support.

My experience with Karsten has been wholly positive. His body body of prior work experience also helps him understand how to help me see the positive aspects and potential of my realistic situations. I believe his coaching has helped me gain insights and practices to be a more effective team member and leader.

Karsten brings both the knowledge of coaching methodologies and equally importantly the deep experience he has accumulated working for leading firms in financial services. He has great personality, caring approach and he can identify key blind spots with high speed. I strongly recommend Karsten to all senior executives in finance and other sectors requiring high performance in often challenging settings and tight timelines.
