Biography
Gudrun Lind is a Senior Executive and team Coach with over 20 years of experience in multinationals. As the former Head of Talent Management in Pharma, she brings firsthand business experience developing leaders and teams during uncertainty, change, and reorganization.
Today's world demands a lot from leaders, and traditional leadership development neglects the importance of leveraging each leader's uniqueness. Gudrun specializes in helping leaders sharpen their styles tailored to their context - and mentoring to ensure practical strategies for immediate application. She also applies evidence-based practices from applied positive psychology and systemic thinking, enabling leaders to adapt and succeed in complex organizational landscapes.
Gudrun's approach, combining coaching and mentoring, is highly valued by her clients, as it facilitates practical application and lasting change. Combined with real-life experience coaching hundreds of leaders, her background in multinational organizations enables her to relate to each situation and identify the core issues to co-create transformation. She has worked with clients across various industries, including many Fortune 500 companies.
Gudrun's academic background covers Psychology, Human Resources, an Executive MBA, and a Master's in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. She's also trained in various psychometrics and team development applications.
Born in Iceland and now living in Switzerland with her family, Gudrun's approach to life and coaching is curiosity and courage to step into the unknown, much like navigating Iceland's unpredictable forces of nature. Her guiding principle in life is to embrace uncertainty, harness your best qualities, and pursue what makes you feel alive.
