About us

Inge W. Faarborg, co-founder of IWF

Presence in communication, engagement, and inspiring leadership is the flame that I wish to feed together with my customers. It begins with a spark, old habits will be challenged, and new possibilities arise.

I am born and raised as the florist’s daughter from Skæring, Jutland, where processing and growth was in focus. Greenhousing, light, water, and hard work went hand in hand with earthy presence. Curiosity and trusting parents led me to an education in dramatugy and later studies in the psychology of organizations.

I have more than 25 years of experience in leadership, facilitation of processes, and many kinds of counselling conversations, development, and teaching. Latest, 7 years as business advisor in CfL, (The Danish Centre for Leadership) and before that 13 years as commissioning editor, leader of artistic council for Radio Theatre, and producer at DR, (National Broadcasting Company).

I combine the professional skills of dramaturgy and psychology of organizations, when I carefully listen to the needs of the individuals and the organisation. What is at stake, also between the lines, or under the surface? And how do we get the message across to the relevant stakeholders, be it as inspiring leadership or relations with the customers.

When I work with processes and development both relations and business is at the centre. I give, and I help my customers hold on to the lifegiving presence in communication, inspiration, energy, and insight. Both body and brain will be activated working with me.

Career, facts from the CV:MA in Dramaturgy, University of Aarhus (1988), Master of Psychology Of Organizations, University Of Roskilde (2014), external lecturer at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) since 2015.

Leif Pjetursson, co-founder of IWF

I am passionate about helping customers in creating an ”inspired work force” that perform with will, ability and courage.

This demands leaders who can set a clear direction and keep the focus on the customers. It demands leaders who can find the difficult balance between directive leadership and trusting leadership, so that departments, the team and the individual employee flourish, also as a human being. This demands leaders that constantly promote the positive. Both in the large and the small scale, and know how to give space to others, also when it comes to constructive criticism.

Results that moves forward. For us it is not about reproducing. In each assignment, we do our utmost to co-create something of a special value that works for the customer. We search for the cracks where light gets in and where the organization shine, we seek the offbeat angels, the diffent possible that proves to strenghten the customer in his or hers own right.

Experience that count. I have many years of experience in creating documented results within leadership development, leadership communication, and team development – separately and in combination. This has involved counselling, presentations, process consulting and teaching. I am author of several books on leadership, among others Når ledelse er kommunikation (When Leadership is communication) from 2005 + 2011 and Ind i ledelse (Into Leadership), from 2014, both published by Akademisk Forlag.

My customers describe me with words like highly professional and insightful, informal, cuts to the bone, human, and energy creating. Other positive words is the ability to create a total trustful communication that brings people’s worlds close together and thereby optimize their ability to create results through a common mindset.

Career, facts form the cv:Career wise, I have worked as leader of an institution, as public relation manager at Technological Institute, as communication consultant, press secretary at KMD, and independent leadership consultant for 16 years with assignments for both public and private organizations and NGO’s. Besides my consultancy, I have for many years been teaching as an external lecturer, in the personal leadership and leadership communication at CBS, DTU Leadership Education and COK.

I hold a Master in Danish and Sports, from the University of Copenhagen, and a degree in journalism from The Danish School of Media and Journalism, Aarhus.
