5 Fun Facts
About Naja Christensen
I will never stop learning.
My curiosity is huge! I love books, podcasts, courses, and events on personal leadership, coaching, and transitions. NY Times keeps me up-to-date, Blinks help me read books faster, The Daily podcast is my
go-to for the expert perspective, and TedTalks is my forever source of inspiration. In the more practical realm, I learned to swim and ski as an adult, which was transformative. It showed me that it is truly never too late to learn.
My favorite meal of the day is breakfast.
Fresh fruit, a selection of cereals, delicious little pastries – I love a good breakfast. And while my family doesn’t necessarily share my excitement for this meal, they play along. I insist that we all have breakfast together every morning, and despite the early wake-up it requires, I think by now they agree that it’s a good way to start the day.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be ”different.”
Looking back, I always had the drive to push on and explore new roads. I wanted to travel and be “on stage” somehow. Stand out. Maybe that’s why I thought I wanted to be an actress, even if I never actually did any acting or had any sense that I had any talent for it. Interestingly though, I ended up doing precisely those things. I’ve lived all over, and I’ve been “on stage” professionally. As a manager, as a presenter, and now as a coach.
The first thing I do when I get up is to check my phone.
It’s not very spiritual, I know. I almost wish I could say something more inspiring. Still, with close family living so far away and the very nature of what I do, a quick check that nothing requires my immediate attention allows me to focus on the rest of my morning ritual. I go running in the morning and cook breakfast for my family, too, but I admit the phone check is the first thing.
My motto is, “Take charge of change.”
I have always believed that if you want a change in your life, you have to take personal responsibility to make it happen. No one else is going to do it for you. And if something doesn’t pan out, get back up and try a different route. It’s up to you! And it works, which is also why I’ve built my coaching philosophy on this.
Mission Statement
About Naja Christensen
Change is a condition of a fully explored and fully lived life. That is why my mission is to help people take control of any change happening in their lives to ensure that the transformational impact will be positive, expansive, and exciting.
I coach from 10+ years of experience - from the head and heart in equal measure - and aim to inspire and empower you to take charge of new life phases, new career opportunities, a physical move, or other life and career transitions. My goal is to shine a light on new perspectives, opportunities, and pathways that will help you discover and grow to your fullest potential and lead you to your ultimate objective.
Together, we will identify your vision, uncover your barriers and challenges and build the skills required to navigate the path forward. And we will ensure that you can sustain the changes you make long after the process is over.
In short, my mission, in the words of Maya Angelou, is to help you “stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances.”
