Faith moves mountains. We move people. Executive Coaching & Team Coaching
Your space for development
When you meet our coaches, you will notice that we work with a coaching concept rooted in The International Coach Federation (ICF). That means that we naturally follow ICF´s 8 core competenciesand ethical guidelines. All our coaches are members of and accredited by ICF.
At the same time, they are all certified assessors from Hudson’s Center of Excellence in Belgium, from which we use the best tools when it comes to a wide range of tests, simulation exercises, business cases and more. Hudson’s tests are based on “The Big 5”.
Our coaches all have a broad professional experience and backgrounds as leaders. All this is your guarantee of high-class coaching.
When engaging in a coaching process with Hudson Nordic, we begin with a complimentary and non-binding meeting between the leader and the coach we believe is the best fit. This initial session – often referred to as a chemistry meeting – ensures alignment and sets the foundation for a meaningful collaboration.
For a coaching journey to deliver real impact, there must be trust, mutual understanding, and a clear sense of purpose. It is essential that the leader feels a strong connection with their coach, a productive dynamic, and – most importantly – psychological safety throughout the process.
From the very beginning, we work to understand the leader’s current context – their personal goals, the organisation’s expectations, and their motivation for entering into a development journey. We explore what drives them at their best, where they may be facing challenges, and how committed they are to investing in their own growth.
This is not just about change for the sake of change. It’s about creating the conditions for sustainable development – for the individual and for the organisation they help shape.
Our coaches are certified from the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC) and Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) in London.

Through a personalised approach, we help identify your leadership strengths and areas for growth, ensuring leaders become even better at their leadership roles.
Our coaching process is designed to challenge, pushing leaders to face obstacles and unlock their full potential. We work with leaders to build Executive Presence, combining character, substance, and style to create a complete leader capable of thriving in both progress and adversity.
Through tailored, real-world training, continuous improvement, and a focus on key leadership situations, we ensure not only the development of skills needed for success but also the building of resilience and the mindset to lead others. And, our commitment doesn’t end with the sessions—we’ll follow up after six and twelve months to track progress and keep the leader on the path to long-term success.
At Hudson Nordic, we help leaders lead with balance, purpose, and the tools to make lasting, impactful change.
"Working with Susanne has been transformative. Her coaching has helped me unlock new perspectives and discover solutions I couldn't see on my own. Like a skilled navigator, Susanne’s approach has guided me through complex challenges, making the journey toward growth and clarity much smoother. Coaching with her has become an essential tool for overcoming obstacles, finding direction, and making meaningful progress in both my personal and professional life."
"Starting with coaching from Hudson Nordic and Ola Lenes, I embarked on a transformative journey in self-management and goal-setting. This experience had a profound impact on my personal and professional life. Hudson Nordic's professionalism and Ola's unique approach fostered significant growth. I highly recommend their impactful program for leaders seeking development."
"Finding answers within oneself is challenging, and Ola's coaching has taught me the importance of guidance for achieving top results, much like in sports. I use coaching for ongoing personal growth and to tackle daily challenges when clear answers elude me. Having a clear purpose or support in coaching is essential - “for he who sails without a port in sight, no wind is favorable”."
Tailored group
Coaching
At Hudson Nordic, we understand that enthusiasm and motivation are key drivers of success for any team. Our goal is to help organisations gain a deeper awareness of their team’s strengths and challenges, and build strategies to leverage them for maximum impact.
Our coaching focuses on inspiring teams to reflect on their dynamics, enabling them to make decisions and take ownership within the framework they operate. The transformation that occurs when a team recognises and embraces its limits—and those of others—can be truly remarkable. Together, they can forge a clear path towards shared success.
We believe in the power of collaboration. When people work together towards a common goal, extraordinary things happen. However, as human beings, we are inherently different, with diverse perspectives that can create both challenges and opportunities. Our expertise lies in guiding teams to turn these differences into strengths, fostering innovation, and driving success.
Whether it´s facing a specific challenge that demands enhanced teamwork, aiming to unlock your team’s full potential, or looking to align expectations and resolve conflicts, we offer bespoke group coaching that is tailored to your unique needs.
At Hudson Nordic, we are committed to being your trusted partner, offering customised coaching sessions designed to address your team’s specific challenges and objectives. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to stronger collaboration and long-term success.
