~ the life design coach
It’s been fun for me to think about this testimonial for my coach, Maja. It’s been over 10 years we’ve been working together. It started in Mesa, where we met for breakfasts and/or lunches. And when Maja moved back to Iceland (for some years), I remember thinking that it would be the end of a great coaching experience for me because the phone would be too weird. We gave it a shot… and it worked great!
Maja is amazing "in person" and also very effective "virtually".
I am struggling to define what Maja’s contribution has been to myself personally and Chasse Building Team. I’m not struggling to find something to say… I’m struggling to contain the list of impacts Maja’s had. I’m going to just list a bunch of the areas:
-
Personal reflection and goals
-
Personal improvement plans
-
Company strategic goals, core values, mission and vision creation
-
Creating the structure and evolving the structure over 10 years of our company’s growth
-
Creating financial goals and then revising the goals upwards upon consistently achieving them
-
Strategic planning with key Chasse Building Team’s leadership
-
Supplemental coaching for Chasse’s key folks when needed
-
Moral support during times of company crisis
-
Public Relations brainstorming during any company crisis or situation
-
Great sounding board
-
Great resource for creative idea generation during project pursuits
-
Defining Chasse culture now and what it looks like in the future
-
Leadership and relational coaching for leadership team.
This is just a start. Maja’s involvement in our company’s evolution has been consistent during our course of existence. We’ve grown every year in revenues and profits. It’s exciting to reflect on Maja’s impact on both myself and Chasse. We’re not done by any means but reflecting on progress, Maja’s been incredibly impactful to myself and Chasse. I can provide my highest recommendation and also warn you that if one’s willing to do the work, Maja’s contributions are invaluable!
Maja is fantastic!!!!

As an entrepreneur and business owner I've had to tackle several changes and challenges related to life and business. On numerous occasions have I had to pause and ask myself, where am I headed and which direction do I choose? In those moments I have sought Maja as my life and business coach because she truly is the best listener, but her greatest gift is in the questions she asks, and in the mind-blowing insights she comes up with. Maja is a relentless visionary who loves empowering others and get people to move out of their own way!
Maja's insights often bring out things that totally ring true and you may feel as if you know it already on a deep level, but when you are not yet able to comprehend the BIGGER PICTURE, somehow Maja always gets you to that place!

Maja is a designer, entrepreneur and a savvy leadership coach with an amazing perspective on life.
She is made different! With Maja's openness and honesty in conversations she never fails to shift perspectives to a higher level of consciousness. And that's where it starts!
Maja's vast experiences, eternal optimism and openness to endless possibilities is mind-blowing!
Maja's coaching style is warm and comes from the heart but she can also be very direct and to the point!
Being in her presence is just real and refreshing! Maja is kind of like a guru who does not believe in gurus, at all!
Her somewhat obvious agenda is always to create forward movement. You will learn to know she truly loves your growth!
If you get to have Maja as your coach, she will get you to face your self with compassion and honesty and do it with her piercing, warm eyes and big, friendly smile. Maja just gets you and gets to you!
Thank you Maja for being YOU and for supporting me in being me!
Ps. I loved the little me - BIG ME exercise and transformation. Seeing my self with different eyes, in and through various times has changed my reaction to everything and made me feel calmer and so much more open and creative. Yay!

She captured the attention of our 180 team members throughout the day and gave an interesting and motivating talk about purposely creating our customer experiences. Her insight and meeting facilitation was perfect for capturing and framing the topic and goal of the workshop.”
