Whether you’re with a multinational, an NGO, or creating your own path—this coaching space is designed for you.

Annecy Manicus Coaching
  • I started coaching sessions with Morten with some issues on my mind that needed work but not a clear idea of exactly what or how. I was sceptical at first but Morten was patient and committed to helping me achieve my goals. His questioning helped me to quickly identify what's at the heart of the issue and provided a very helpful focus for our sessions together. He summarises and visualises what feels complex well, which serves to leave you feeling clearer, more optimistic and in "control" of your path at the end of each session. Grateful to Morten for our time together and the impact it's had.

  • “I had the privilege of working with Morten in the same airline.

    When I was preparing my interview as an instructor within the company Morten reached out to help with the preparation. His enthusiasm and passion for teaching and learning is truly very natural for him.

    Morten tailored his coaching to my needs, his insights directly contributed to my career advancement as an instructor.”
