"Developing collaboration in the board Akademikernes A-kasse experienced a high level of professionalism and empathy when we worked with LEAD. The consultants tailored a session for the unemployment insurance fund's board, where they managed to hit the mark based on just a single pre-meeting in relation to the requested content. Akademikernes A-kasse can therefore highly recommend LEAD to other organizations that need a professional sparring partner to develop the interaction in a board that dares to challenge habitual thinking and offers a helicopter perspective that provides food for thought and further work in the organization."
Byggeri københavn (KEJD): "Maja has been a valuable sparring partner with a high level of professionalism that has been of great value to me in my leadership and created visible results for me and my employees. In particular, Maja's ability to understand complex matters and understand Copenhagen Real Estate and Procurement as an organization, seen in relation to the context of the City of Copenhagen, has meant that Maja has been able to inspire and develop us as a team and me as a leader."
Developing the basis for collaboration in the specialist group: In 2017, Maja conducted a tailor-made development program for our unit with the aim of developing our collaboration and communication. The course helped us to create our own solid basis for collaboration and launch a number of initiatives that have strengthened our internal communication and coordination, which has meant that we are more successful in our core task while at the same time improving our well-being. We have experienced Maja as an attentive facilitator with a fine and very straightforward personal contact with all participants in our process. Maja has a great theoretical and practical knowledge of group dynamics, collaboration and communication, and I highly recommend others to use Maja to develop their team and organization.
Training of the Danish National Social Appeals Board's deputy managers in change management Maja had developed a really good program for our deputy managers that was well organized and professionally facilitated with high quality and presence.
