My name is Kenneth Quistgaard Børgesen. I am a licensed psychologist, specialist in psychotherapy and organizational psychology, and hold a Ph.D. in performance, leadership, and learning.

For more than 20 years, I have worked with people in all aspects of working life – from employees who need support during a difficult period to leaders who want to develop themselves and build stronger organizations.

My approach

I believe that development happens when we dare to talk about what is difficult while holding on to what is important. That is why my work is based on:

• Psychological flexibility – the ability to navigate uncertainty and pressure without losing direction.

• Motivation – understanding and strengthening the driving forces that enable people and organizations to succeed.

• Social leadership spaces – how we create culture and communities together where everyone can contribute and take responsibility.

These are also the three themes I write about in my book From Organizational Culture to Social Leadership Spaces and Resonant Communities.

My experience

• Over 4,000 hours as a lecturer, psychologist, and sparring partner.

• Experience from international organizations and companies – in Denmark, Europe, the Middle East, and the USA.

• Collaboration with the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), where I work with leadership development on a global scale.

Personal

I live in Virum with my wife and our three sons. I am an active mountain biker, runner, football player, and guitarist, and I enjoy challenging myself physically – just as I believe that mental and professional challenges can be the key to growth.
