With focus and awareness, it is possible to turn almost any challenge into a source of innovation and strength. Using the right set of tools, you can usually increase the impact of your actions, sometimes exponentially. Using my long track record in building real and lasting results through balancing individual capacity at four levels, I work with leaders who want tools to increase their performance while using less energy. Within a framework of absolute confidentiality, I serve a small number of selected international clients - private and corporate.

    Self Description

    I have a profound interest for what it is that creates long-term and sustainable greatness in leaders. With almost twenty years hands-on experience in assisting people to fulfill more of their heartfelt ambitions, I challenge, inspire and support leaders in that direction. I believe in four-level integration and balance as an important foundation in the pursuit of excellence, bringing both the long term achievement and the inner satisfaction.


    Goals

    As human beings we are in a state of constant evolution. Evolution means forever changing circumstances, and thus there will always be some new challenge in front of us- both at an individual and collective level. Building on the strengths we have gained during past experiences, we can learn to face challenge in positive and life-affirming ways.
    My personal goal working as a mentor and executive coach is to contribute to this process of growth-oriented learning. I want to assist my clients in turning individual, collective and planetary challenges into positive growth patterns, benefiting not only the individual but also the greater global community.


    Qualities & Strengths

    After having worked with many hundreds of people at an individual level and adressing their issues of personal growth, from issues of simple every-day character to those great depth and complexity, I have gained an ability to quickly get to the core of a multitude of challenges that leaders face in their personal and professional lives. I understand the importance of stamina and persistent effort to bring about results under challenging conditions, know the importance of sometimes letting go and when to do it, and what is required to retain or even build personal energy during the challenging phases. I believe in the importance of getting real results from visionary and creative impulses, and know what is required to reach all the way when it comes to completing tasks of great complexity and importance.

    Testimonials

    Asa Levin's way of working is unique. Assisting our team, she transmits courage, wisdom, understanding, combined with a direct, hands-on support when dealing with the hard facts and realities of the process. She does all of this with humility, efficiency and speed. Her ability to transmit positive, transformative and uplifting energy is very strong. I feel empowered and on top of things. I have new confidence regarding the future of my organization.

    I have gained access to more of my potential and resources. I feel different than before. Now I have more stamina in pursuing my objectives. People around me say that I am calmer, more centered and balanced. I have gained new confidence in decision-making.

    After working with Asa Levin, I have gained a new perspective on life. I see myself and what I do in a new light. As a result of a deeper understanding of things, I feel more secure in my role as a leader. I communicate my visions and way of looking at things with a greater ease. I have gained new inspiration, vision and energy. It is rewarding to see how this positive attitude multiplies in the work environment. People change in amazing ways. During the mentoring process, I have received such crucial support as to be able to succeed with a difficult and quite radical turnaround in my organization. Nobody thought it would be possible, but now other leaders want to hear me speak about how I succeeded to bring about the substantial turnaround that is now a reality. I have also received important new assignments. I feel empowered and strong in a new way, in my role as an initiator, visionary and leader.

    Asa shares deep wisdom. Her words are a light in the dark, and a stable point when things get rough. She helps me by being attuned and present. She is solid, dependable and a stable positive influence for me. Working with her has given me new power and clarity; it is a good state of being.

    As an example, in 1999 the founder and managing director of a Swedish company employed Asa Levin as a coach and advisor during a particulary challenging period. As one of the immediate results of the advisory presence of Asa Levin, her client decided to change some of the key tactics employed in the attempts to win the market. Incorporating the Luminosa strategy for how to build personal and corporate strenght in extreme and hostile environments, the organization became masterful at delivering against all odds. The increase of managerial and corporate efficiency was remarkable. Turnover increased 60 % in the three-year period following Ms Levin's initial intervention. Profitability soared, turning the losses around 15 million EURO in 1999 into a 8 million EURO profit in 2005. The client testifies that the advisory presence of Asa Levin had a real and lasting impact on his ability as founder and CEO to transform the fortune of his company.
