Mannaz A/S
Feb 2014 - Jan 2015Internship, Leadership developmentPrior to joining PwC, I spent a year in Hong Kong working in an internship for the Danish leadership development consultancy, Mannaz. As part of the international team of highly experienced leadership development consultants and executive coaches, I worked independently on developing program designs, writing proposals, and co-facilitating development workshops for large international companies in Hong Kong. From this, I gained unique experience and understanding of what it takes to facilitate development processes in a global and cross-cultural context. Also by having my own coaching clients, two local Hong Kong Chinese, I also got very hands-on experience with the cross-cultural aspects of human development processes. Show less

Most programmes where focused on strengthening strategic leadership capabilities, business acumen and digital transformation leadership. In the design and delivery of programmes, I worked in close collaboration with faculty from the leading business schools around the world (e.g. Harvard, MIT, INSEAD, LBS) to ensure state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise. I have always had a key role in the client collaboration from the initial proposal, analysis and scoping of the project to the close collaboration with the executive management and other relevant stakeholders across the organisation to ensure anchoring in company strategy, culture and business objectives. Besides the programme design, I was also project manager from beginning to end, including collaboration with various stakeholders in the client organization, external partners, planning and coordination of delivery, communication with participants both before, during and after the program.
