Carin from Sweden and Tünde from Austria – two highly experienced and internationally acclaimed executive coaches, which is manifest in Tünde receiving the ICF Impact Award 2023 – have recently forged a formidable partnership. That partnership is rooted in their profound exploration of self-leader-ship towards partner-ship towards impact-ship on the pulse of time.

While nurturing their collaboration through self-leadership, they discovered four uniquely inter-weaving power values that guide their mission: serenity, interconnectedness, joy, and flow. Their mission is to equip leaders with a sense of inner power and liberation to disrupt old patterns of leading. That’s about being empowered to leave a mark and make a difference that is relevant for young generations and multi-level stakeholders. That mission grew out of sheer frustration with being trapped in and prey to the ever increasing bigger-faster-higher performance mantras circulating in today’s business world. So, their values serve as the cornerstone of their endeavor, “The True Love Story of Being a Leader,” aimed at delivering true success to leaders who resonate with their principles. For Carin and Tünde, true success is about leaders knowing what to do with success once it is attained, which is about credibility with those that follow them today and those that are to follow in their footsteps.

They firmly believe that serenity enables leaders to scrutinize the rituals that shape their decision-making, actions and interactions. Neuroscience and experiential wisdom show that rituals dull our capacity for innovation on the pulse of time. Therefore, by regularly examining leadership rituals by a method that encapsulates their four power values, they guide leaders in discerning what truly matters to create meaningful impact. That particular approach fosters positive change, not for the sake of leaders being at the pinnacle of leadership, but to instill the courage to transform aspects of leadership that demand change on the pulse of time. In effect, their method is like a short cut: the already-known is melt with the yet-unknown towards smooth development – through partner-ships that matter for impact-ship!

In the realm of interconnectedness, Carin and Tünde advocate for a perspective that enlarges leaders rather than threatens them, even in a seemingly fragile, competitive and volatile – and therefore tendentially depleting – world. They assert that the measure of leadership success lies in the quality of leaders’ connections and intricate relationships. Thus, they encourage leaders to recognize how their interests intertwine with those of others. That practice ensures that leaders will not harm their own standing or that of others in the competitive and highly performance-driven leadership landscape. Quite a big ask. And while that’s the case, it’s a ‘must have’.

The duo believes that when leaders align their actions with what they really care about – beyond their values – while listening to their conscience, they will enjoy a fulfilling life and a profession that will bring meaning to them and to the many. That alignment, in turn, will breed joy. Through joy, leaders can find the inspiration needed to create purposeful impact and experience true success on the pulse of time. Consequently, Carin and Tünde guide leaders to discover their Congruent Self-leadership™ – not just their values and aspirations. That approach intends to harmonize leadership with the external world and spark employee engagement in ecosystems that value leaders pioneering a fulfilling life and profession.

Carin and Tünde challenge the conventional notion that success should be pursued as an explicit goal. Instead, they advocate that true success is an unintended byproduct of unwavering dedication to a cause larger than oneself. They urge leaders to trust their core wisdom rather than their core beliefs, emphasizing that true success eludes those who make it the sole target. That perspective will empower leaders to break free from the relentless pursuit of bigger, faster, and higher performance, which proves to hinder their journey towards true success.

With “The True Love Story of Being a Leader”, Carin and Tünde offer an unparalleled leadership development experience, which is rooted in Tünde’s extensive and internationally acknowledged research on authentic and Congruent Self-leadership™ through professional coaching. Their experiential program is designed to empower leaders to infuse their leadership with purposeful impact, one that will create bridges between generations and individual learning styles to attain true success, enabling credibility with those that follow them today and those that are to follow in their footsteps.
