Take my Leadership Identity Map Assessment to gain valuable insights into your strengths and areas for growth. Whether you're a Complier, Autocrat, Bureaucrat, Seeker, or Catalyst, this quiz will help you identify your leadership tendencies and guide you towards becoming a more effective leader.
Or sessions have been a mirror that help me focus in on dynamics I’ve been vaguely aware of; you have helped me prioritise where to put my introspection.
I don't feel like I'm being pushed into a box like I have with other leadership frameworks. It's more like a jumping off point for mutual curiosity, rather than an effort to diagnose & categorise & prescribe.
I feel seen, heard, respected and that you are empathising with me and joining my inquiry, without going overboard and taking up too much space with your own storytelling. You show up as a companion, not a teacher or a know-it-all, so I feel safe to go exploring with you.

Magnus was able to hone right in on what next steps I should take to level up. He has a really in-depth understanding of how different areas of leadership affect the whole organism and was able to explain this effectively. His presence and authenticity made me comfortable enough to tell him my deep, dark secrets about how much I detest some aspects of leadership and people-ing, and because of this I feel I received an honest appraisal of what's happening in this space for me, not just surface level feedback.
The place I'm starting is in empowering my staff to get clear about what their gifts are, and how they can work more to those strengths in their roles. Actively creating an environment where we're all working in our genius serves by building my competency in both strategic focus and mentoring.
Hey Magnus... your vision around this work is next level. Your white-paper to explain how the LCP fits into the bigger picture of leadership as you see it blew my mind. I love your clarity and the metaphors you've chosen to explain the model.

Magnus has a unique way of holding space and facilitating self-reflection I've not experienced with other mentors or coaches. He has a great ability to crystallise my fragmented thoughts and emotions and articulate them better than I could. His ability to do this allowed for surprising insights to rise frequently during our sessions.

Zach Salar
Project Business and Transition Analyst, ANZ
I've really appreciated the constructive opportunity to talk about my life journey and why authenticity is important to me as a core value.
It has helped my willingness for self inquiry and vulnerability. In particular, talking about difficult things has helped me peel back the layers and see if I can identify the root cause.
Hans Chang
Technical Solutions Manager, State of Charge (SOC) Australia
I enjoy the relational aspect of your coaching, also I feel very comfortable with you.
Our sessions have helped me show up fully with less fear of being harmed. I feel more grounded in authenticity.
Dr Alla Demutska
Clinical Director, The School of Positive Psychology Singapore
I find working with Magnus really motivating and empowering. I can reflect on how I present in both a personal and professional context, as I often find myself overwhelmed in self reflection it was really helpful to have Magnus create a structure and format make sense of it all.
I'm addressing a tendency towards passivity by practising direct communication, implementing ‘agreements not expectations’ as a work ethos as well as focusing on the ‘adult to adult’ relationship with challenging team members.

Gentleness and excellent listening skills. Productive and insightful sessions
Nathan Power
Development Team Manager
Working with Magnus has been a wonderful opportunity to feel like me the human was being seen and supported in a bigger journey of growing my capacity for leadership. While my application or use of leadership was different from how the session is typically used, you were validating and adapted quickly to help me find integration of the process in to my life in an immediately beneficial way. I expressed deep fear of the next stage of my life and now I feel encouraged, more clear and like there is something tangible in my hands to move forward.

Magnus possesses a calm and grounded presence that sets the stage for open and vulnerable conversations. You can tell he's genuinely curious about people's stories by the way he really listens and connects with you.
Fernanda Priego
Visual Designer, Go1
Extremely adaptable and was able to make the content relevant to our unique business. He had a broad knowledge of various industries and management styles, was personable and made the sessions feel fun and positive.
Working with Magnus gave me greater awareness of how I contribute to a team, how I handle conflict and what areas / skills I could develop in the future to improve my leadership and productivity.
Our last session (team integration) really helped bring it all together. I would highly recommend to include after individual sessions to maximise results.
