Have you become numb to life?

Don't get me wrong. You're a successful professional and a family man, so the intensity of life is in your face every day, but you feel you’ve sacrificed your deepest aspirations to provide for those you love.

But deep down, you know there's more to life than the endless cycle of 'providing and surviving.'

You've come to realize that success is not the same as fulfillment.
Remember the mental movie of your future you created when you were a lot younger?

In the movie from your younger years, I'm guessing you were heroic or an admired artist or athlete. As you transitioned into working life, the hero became a successful, confident, admired man with money, a nice home and car, exotic travels, and the most amazing, vibrant wife and adorable children by your side.

And now you're here, having to reconcile the scenes from the mental movie with reality.

Martin, one of the men I have supported said:

"I’ve just been through another day, and there was nothing in it for me.

I didn’t do something for me today that’s going to help me create that life I really want. Somebody owns me.

Since I’m not building my life - I’m building somebody else's life.

This realization hurts."

Joseph, one of the men I have supported said:

"I have lived half my life, and the fact that I one day will die has dawned on me.

I don't want to feel the way I've done the last 10 years until that day.

And, if I don’t take the chance to live the life I really want, what have I then modeled for my kids?"

Tired of living other people's expectations?

So you've arrived here. To a point in life where the big questions come. You're tired of basing your decisions on what's best for everybody else, asking yourself: "When is it my turn?"

Trying to fit "life" around all the rest. 
The grind has brought you places. You're comfortable. But there's a nagging feeling that all the material stuff you've collected over the years owns you, and then there's the issue of not having enough time.

Your biggest block of time is work, that block of time five days a week, at least, that modern life evolves around. It’s something that has to be done, and then you try to fit “life” around work.

In the out-of-work life, you do your best to be a good husband, a present parent, and a caring son, keep up with your own friends, and take care of the stuff around the house. Then, before bed, you open your laptop to “just check the emails”, at night dreaming of living a different life.

And then it’s Monday again…

You're not alone.
Most men have lived some version of this.
Some have the courage to say enough is enough and step into life fully.

It's your turn now!

You might not be aware of exactly what you're searching for, but you're seeking transformation—to face yourself and confront the aspects of life you've been avoiding.

This is the invitation you've been hoping would eventually reach you—a call to rise and journey through the pain and burdens you've amassed, the self-betrayal, and the confusion you experience.

This is for men who experience any of this:

  • You feel emptiness despite external success, leading to questions about what brings you joy and fulfillment.
  • You’re feeling a lack of deep, meaningful relationships where you can express vulnerability and be truly seen and heard.
  • You’re missing the space and freedom to explore and express your true self, including your creative and passionate sides.
  • Your struggle to maintain a healthy balance between work, personal life, and self-care leads to unmet needs in relaxation, health, and personal growth.
  • You seek a deeper sense of connection to something greater than yourself, whether through nature, spirituality, or community.

If you do, you’re not alone. For starters, I ticked all of these boxes many years ago, and many men I meet in my work as a leadership consultant and executive coach do as well.

I'm Fredrik.

I help successful men who have become numb to life reignite their inner fire to live a life of PRESENCE, PURPOSE, POWER.

My burnout in 2006 was the start of my inner journey

As a young adult, I fully bought into a quite elitist dream of success and corporate fame, and the dream took me to “corporate America.”

I was good at playing that game; just after 30, I had a six-figure salary running a $100 million sales department for the coolest IT company at the time and 65 people working under me. Most people would say that I’d made it.

Except that, I had become cynical, numb, and behind the brave face, my heart was crying.

In the autumn of 2006, the burnout hit hard, and my marriage was close to breaking. That was the start of my inner journey.

I went deep into the art of coaching and the ancient wisdom traditions to begin my journey to healing.

Over the last 18 years, I’ve transformed my life, slowly stepping into presence, purpose, and power. My wife and I are in our 22nd year, and after years of ups and downs, we’ve developed a deep connection and a mostly vibrant relationship.

I left corporate 8 years ago and have built a new, meaningful career as a leadership consultant and executive coach.

Most of my work involves executive coaching and supporting leadership teams in evolving team dynamics and getting clarity on their purpose and unique value-add to their organizations.

That’s what brought me to men’s work. I’ve met so many successful but deeply unfulfilled men who just carry on in silence. Just them realizing they’re not alone has alleviated the burden a little, but I want to help more men step into a new, vibrant chapter of life.

I've come to a deeper level of peace with my journey through life - less chasing and more paying attention to all the good around me.

Working with Fredrik has given me the capability to lead myself better. Specifically, he has helped me to (1) clarify what’s deeply meaningful to me and integrate my personal and professional priorities to live a life of more joy and fulfillment and (2) come to a deeper level of peace with my journey through life - less chasing and more paying attention to all the good around me. These two combined give me much more confidence in all areas of my life. Fredrik's way of navigating life and sharing his experiences comes nothing short of role modeling. I highly recommend Fredrik to any and everyone who is serious in his/her intention to “do something” with their lives: work, family, self… to those who need a nudge towards living more of their potential.

His presence, questions, and support helped me find deeper insights about who I am and how I function than I could possibly find by myself.

His presence, questions and support helped me find deeper insights about who I am and how I function than I could possibly find by myself.

Embarking on a Quest for Meaning

Embracing Our Inner Longings

In these tumultuous times, many of us find ourselves yearning for a compass to navigate through the storms of uncertainty. The world around us seems to be in constant flux, with challenges like the global health crisis, environmental concerns, and rapid technological advancements urging us to rethink our very existence. Amidst this upheaval, it's not uncommon to feel adrift, grappling with doubts and questioning our life's direction.

For many, this quest for clarity is more than just a search for personal satisfaction; it's a deep dive into discovering what truly makes us tick. It's about peeling back the layers to uncover our genuine passions, those that lie dormant beneath the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Embracing Our Inner Strength

The essence of true strength lies within, untethered to external accolades or validation. Leadership that stems from this inner wellspring often seeks to uplift others, fostering a sense of empowerment. This form of power is gentle yet impactful, steering clear of force or dominance. It's about lifting others up, not asserting superiority.

To tap into this reservoir of strength, we must confront and integrate our shadow selves. This involves reclaiming our projections, navigating conflicts with maturity, and fostering open, honest communication.

Harmony Between Strength and Sensitivity

In our rapidly changing world, the call for a new kind of leadership is louder than ever. This is a summons not just to compete but to contribute to a nurturing and life-affirming future. It's time for a renaissance of the masculine spirit—one that honors both strength and sensitivity.

This journey of integration beckons us to embrace the full spectrum of our being, marrying the dynamic energies of the masculine and feminine within us. As we traverse this path, we unlock the potential to become beacons of creativity, bravery, innovation, empathy, and a profound love for life in harmony with the natural world.

This voyage is not just for the individual but extends to our roles as leaders, partners, and stewards of the earth. It's an invitation to evolve, to become whole, and to inspire those around us by living in true alignment with our deepest values.

The Courage to Embrace Change

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, disrupting the familiar patterns we've come to rely on. Facing these upheavals requires bravery, especially when stepping into the unknown. It's about mustering the strength to make pivotal choices, even when the end result isn't clear. True courage shines through when we lead with honesty and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, both in guiding our own paths and in inspiring those around us.

In these critical moments, staying true to ourselves and maintaining our equilibrium is vital. It's about joining hands to build a future that values togetherness, regeneration, and inclusivity.

Transforming Through Ritual

Our journey towards personal evolution is often hampered by our habits. Despite their stronghold, breaking free from these patterns is essential for growth. We've all been there—setting intentions to change, to push forward with a new venture, only to find ourselves stuck in the same old cycle. This discord between our aspirations and actions is often rooted in what's known as "competing commitments," tied to our deep-seated habits. Surprisingly, a mere 5% of our being is devoted to embracing change, overshadowed by the 95% governed by ingrained behaviors and reactions.

Reconnect to your heart, awaken your purpose, and unleash your power.
