Aug22136 23. Leadership & Career Coach of the Year 2024 (Denmark): Vibeke Hartkorn Within a business, leaders and their styles are instrumental in forming culture, reflecting corporate values, and upholding them. The buck stops with the higher-ups to establish and encourage the right environment. Mutual respect, open communication, and a shared vision are key to effective leadership, and it’s with these crucial values in mind, and more, that Hartkorn Communication builds leaders, deepens their knowledge, and empowers team members across the entire workforce. Hartkorn Communication is an eminent leadership coaching agency specialising in communication strategy and communication training. The team takes pride in its reputation among clients and business communities as a deeply transformational service to the lives of leaders. From its headquarters in Copenhagen, the company serves an international client base. From South Africa and Greenland to California and China, Hartkorn has bettered the skills and lives of countless leaders, benefitting stakeholders at every level. Hartkorn Communication’s focuses are strategic communication and business strategy advice relating to such subjects as inclusion and diversity, corporate social responsibility, sustainability development goals, and the technological revolution. This involves fostering positive, productive, and safe environments for employees, including neurodiverse team members, and this also means maintaining a balance of masculine and feminine leadership styles. Sustained business growth begins with the right stewardship and culture, culture which is guided, and often decided, by leaders. Hartkorn provides a comprehensive range of services tailored to organisations, teams, leaders, and executive teams. These intend to improve communication, leadership, corporate culture, workplace ethics, and more. The results are improved staff retention, business growth, and businesses forming a stronger alignment with their values and goals. Its personalised coaching is tailored towards honing leaders and career strategies, as well as communication and media training. “These services are designed to empower competent leaders with the communication and presentation skills necessary to inspire and motivate their teams, engage stakeholders effectively, and drive results for organisations and individuals.” This training is delivered through engaging workshops, specifically designed to incorporate elements of play, and by shining a positive light on failure with an emphasis on learning from it. In Founder Vibeke Hartkorn’s words, “we bridge the gap between leaders and their employees, promoting idea sharing, collaborating, and a deep understanding of the company’s business purpose.” The company is eager to provide resources to any business, or anyone, who would like to develop their relationships and communication skills. Via its online platform, Great Relations, the company provides a frame for open, honest, genuine dialogue based on the renowned method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). With an English version set for release later in 2024, this is intended for use a communication tool for individuals, benefitting teams of all kinds, even families! The resources available don’t end with Great Relations, either, also incorporating Navigate Metoo, owned in part by Vibeke. This consulting startup was established to cultivate healthy work cultures throughout Denmark, the Nordics, and Europe at large. The team advises on harassment policies and processes and trains managers to engage in innovative dialogue and leadership practices with the specific goal of promoting safe, nontoxic work cultures and navigating cases of harassment sensitively in the event they arise. In all it does, Hartkorn tackles three bottom-line issues: profit, purpose, and people. Its methods employ research-backed methods to improve trust in, and within, a business. Developing competence and an ethical culture is key to maintaining a market presence, stakeholder trust, and a motivated team. Accountability is a pillar of its projects, and owing to Vibeke’s background as an award-winning journalist, the company is uniquely positioned to help its clients navigate media landscapes and train leaders in crisis management. As a small, agile team which hires on a projectto-project basis, it remains focused, surgical, and effective. For every client, it scours its professional network for the right professional. Soon, the team will focus on helping leaders understand neurodiversity and empowering neurodiverse workers and training leaders for their next role within the leadership pipeline. It will deliver Emotionally Focused Therapy as a tool to hone self-control, self-development, cooperation, and stakeholder management. Having attended Oslo’s annual Diversity Nordics Summit in 2023, Vibeke represented Navigate Meetoo and spoke on a panel about sexual harassment in the workplace. She looks forward to attending more events like this and expand knowledge of key workplace issues as the business marches forward. As an effective business with a unique approach, Hartkorn Communication belongs in these spaces as an innovative voice. Here’s to hearing more of that voice in the years to come.
