About Me

I’m Mads Damgaard. I’m an Erickson Professional Coach and I’ve spent years dedicating myself to understanding the nature of meaningful work. I have invested tens of thousands of euros and hundreds of hours into my training on getting results with people. I am deeply grounded in a 10 year meditation practice and have founded my heart-centered coaching approach on the principles and wisdom of deep thinkers like Milton Erickson, Marilyn Atkinson, Eckhart Tolle, Marschall Rosenberg & many others.  

Before I found my path as a career coach, I followed a conventional route of schooling, university and finally working as a software consultant and key account manager. After having achieved everything I wanted in my conventional career I entered a period of deep inner conflict and uncertainty about my direction in life. I could no longer ignore the truth that I wanted what I did every day to matter deeply to me. I believe firmly that our world is suffering and that we cannot escape that suffering, we have to resolve it. I believe the primary reason we have too much CO2 in the atmosphere, too much plastic in the oceans, and too many people suffering from stress, depression and anxiety is that many good people are trapped in systems and companies that focus on something other than building a thriving sustainable world. I followed that realisation to its ultimate conclusion and transitioned into working with people on realising their dreams of living impactful careers. I now work every day with people seeking to reboot their career on purpose.

Growing up in a chaotic family and losing my parents early taught me to overcome trauma and how to work with the mind to achieve my dream life despite the obstacles I had to face. Its time We, as a people, begin to overcome the obstacles facing us and bring purpose & meaning to the center of our work. When we do, we will feel better, our companies will do better and our world will thrive. We must involve all levels of companies and organisations to build a sustainable world that nourishes our spirits and regenerate our environments. And the first movers in this new world order will have a tremendous advantage.
