NORDIC DEVELOPMENT
In 2015 Helle Thorbjørn established Nordic Development - a company which supports organizations, teams and individuals in their aim to be successful and release their biggest potential in an always changing environment.
Nordic Development works with clients to optimize their connections and partnerships with their surrounding world, commissioners, key stakeholders and each other.
Working with organizations and teams Nordic Development facilitates workshops enabling the attendees to discover new perspectives and providing tools which enable them to continue their development journey after the workshop. In parallel to this Helle Thorbjørn also works with leaders individually.
The methods used are Executive Business Coaching and Systemic Team Coaching. The desired outcome is to help the clients (individually and team based) release their biggest potential to contribute to their own success, as well as the success of the wider system. By incorporating tools for learning, it becomes a norm for individuals and teams to have a broader perspective upon where and how they can contribute.
