Sandja is one of the few most inspiring thought leaders in conscious leadership and sustainable business strategy that I have had the pleasure to work with within the large global Sustainable Brands community. As a speaker, she moves the audience in an authentic and heartfelt manner, delivering her messages with a combination of passion and intellect that is second to none. She consistently manages to leave the audience with expanded horizons, new tools for self-improvement and actionable takeaways. I selected her to speak at Sustainable Brands Copenhagen, and I would be delighted to have her back on stage anywhere in the world. She comes highly recommended by the entire Sustainable Brands team!

It is my mission to support those businesses that best represent my business philosophy termed "Right Livelihood". Simply put this translates to business, which is "Good for me, Good for you, Good for all it touches". Sandja lives these principles in business and it is a pleasure for me to work with her.

Sandja and I both had the pleasure of speaking at a CSR conference in May 2017. Sandja's talk on Conscious Leadership was a mind-blowing experience to me and to the audience. Not only was the topic of great relevance to all leaders but Sandja's powerful and entertaining way of presenting was of great excellence.
Right then and there I decided to invite Sandja to facilitate a central module in our Inclusive Leadership Program. Luckily she said yes.
Sandja, I look very much forward to work with you. Thanks for joining our team!

I participated in Sandja's Conscious Leadership workshop and went home full of inspiration, motivation and new ideas for my work. Sandja is super professional and a great teacher. She combines passion, humor, vulnerability and vast knowledge from her many years of experience as an entrepreneur. In the workshop I learned more about true authenticity and how important it is to look at ones own shadows, if one wants to change the world.

I highly recommend the Passion Institute's Activating Purpose Conscious Leadership training. Through my participation in the course, I experienced quite a remarkable shift from being frustrated in not knowing how to get to where I want to be, to feeling much more self-directed and assured. The tools presented assist in creating positive daily habits, while also refining long-term goals. Sandja is a living example of the power of mixing professionalism with a sense of true being. The Passion Institute is leading the way toward greater authenticity, empowerment and supporting businesses that make both happier people and a better world. If you are ready to commit yourself to dreaming big while also understanding what it takes to get there, I do recommend this course for feeling supported, encouraged and re-enlivened!
