From Curious Adventurer

to Conscious Authority



I’m Katrine.

Transformational Coach. Identity Activator and Creator of Reclaim Your Authority. 

I work with high-achieving, empathic women who are tired of performing strength — and ready to lead from truth.

But I didn’t arrive here through theory.

I arrived here by walking away from a life that looked right — but felt wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

From Curious Adventurer to 

Conscious Authority

 

I’m Katrine.

Transformational Coach. Identity Activator and Creator of Reclaim Your Authority. 

I work with high-achieving, empathic women who are tired of performing strength — and ready to lead from truth.

But I didn’t arrive here through theory.

I arrived here by walking away from a life that looked right — but felt wrong. 

World Adventure, Tango and a Backpack

The Early Years

At 19, I packed a backpack and left convention behind.

No five-year plan.
No safety net.
Just curiosity.

I traveled across continents, sat in conversations with strangers, danced tango in Buenos Aires, and learned something that would shape my life:

People don’t open up to strategy.
They open up to presence.

Real leadership begins with the courage to stop performing.

 

Presence is Power

I discovered that connection—real connection—starts with seeing and listening.

And that people open up when they feel safe to be themselves.

The Decision 

I built a career in International Business.
I did what I was supposed to do.
I succeeded.

And yet, something in me was restless.

The version of success I had built no longer fit the woman I was becoming.

So I left.

Not impulsively.
Not dramatically.

But decisively.

I chose alignment over appearance.

That decision changed everything.

The Work Today

Today, I guide women through the same decision — from performance to power.


From pressure to presence.
From over-functioning to self-trust.

As a Certified International Coach, I’ve worked across sectors — from National Healthcare to the National Art Gallery — helping leaders shift from transactional leadership to human-centered leadership.

Because leadership isn’t about dominance.

It’s about congruence.

And when a woman leads from congruence, she changes the culture around her.

 

The Human side

I still travel.
Latin America still feels like home.
I dance.
I hike.
I laugh loudly.

 

Why This Matters

We don’t need more women performing competence.

We need women who are regulated.
Clear.
Unapologetic.

Women who lead themselves first.

That’s the work.

That's the standard.

 

If you’re ready to stop performing and start leading —
you’re in the right place.

Work With Me

5 "secrets" about me

  1. I was once engaged to a sheep shearer in Australia.
  2. I am Norwegian, but carry ancestral roots from Ireland, Wales, and the Andes. 
  3. I lived in Cuba for 6 months, teaching English, dancing salsa and learning how to “get by” the Cuban way.
  4. I am scared of heights, but I still challenge myself even when my heart races.
  5.  It took me 43 years to feel comfortable with stillness.Now, it’s one of my greatest teachers.

 

 

 

 

My Mission Statement:

“I initiate women out of performance and into unapologetic authority.”
