Leadership coach and mentor in Gothenburg

About me, Torbjörn Källström

Founder of Holistic Leadership

I offer holistic leadership development for both individuals and teams, built on decades of experience and a genuine commitment to your and your joint success.

Torbjörn works with CEOs, owners, boards and management teams who want to create clear movement. With strong business understanding and experience from leading roles, he integrates business, structure and leadership.

He quickly identifies what makes a difference, sets direction and drives implementation. His focus is to translate strategy into concrete results.

My reward is the development of individuals and organizations.

Through our conversations, I have received tools and methods that enable more goal-focused and persistent work, but also invaluable insights into how the good sides of myself work, but also the sides that may need to be strengthened. With Torbjörn's ability for straight and clear communication combined with his warm personality, it rarely becomes uncomfortable when a less positive side is highlighted.

Torbjörn brings out the right method/tool to help me reach new heights. What separates him from the crowd is that he is good at listening, affirming and lifting and helping me bring out my strengths. The fact that I, who myself have coached others, am now being coached myself is wonderful. It feels safe to have Torbjörn as a coach and that means a lot to me.

Torbjörn: I deliver... and both individuals and businesses grow!
Torbjörn Källström, author, leadership coach and founder of Holistic Leadership AB

I deliver... and both individuals and businesses grow!

With over 40 years of experience in purchasing, marketing, sales, finance, personnel, product development and retail, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that today's leaders face.

As author of the book "Holistic Leadership Journey" - the most complete and customized leadership training - and founder of Holistic Leadership AB, I offer training that integrates both professional and personal needs, to promote a healthy balance between work and private life.

My passion is to support both individuals and organizations through holistic leadership.

I have had the privilege of working with many people and teams who wanted to take new steps in their lives, careers and joint development.

Nicklas Kamperhaug, lieutenant colonel in the Swedish Armed Forces, described our collaboration as insightful and transformative. Suzanne Jalkesen at Dormer Pramet felt that our coaching helped her find a balance between work, development and family.

I believe in the value of flexible solutions adapted to the needs of the individual. One example is "Walk and Talk" sessions in nature - a powerful tool for reflection and development in a relaxed environment.

On a personal level, I am the proud father of two children and love spending time at sea with my partner in our snipe.

Nature is a constant source of energy and perspective for me. Sport diving, climbing and fly fishing have been important parts of my life.

My three main qualities as a leader coach:

  1. Results oriented - I help clients achieve concrete results, which is confirmed by their positive changes and insights.
  2. Great commitment - My passion is contagious and motivates both individuals and teams.
  3. Experience based - I build on my own experiences and challenges as a leader, which gives my coaching a strong grounding in reality.

If you are looking for a partner to develop your leadership and create balance in life, I am here to support you.

Feel free to contact me then we will see how we can work towards your goals and visions.

Licensed in Lead Forward - in-depth training in feedback mapping Supervision by Stefan Söderfjäll PH. D in Psychology 

LEAD FORWARD is based on a structured feedback mapping that gives leaders a current picture of how their employees perceive their leadership.

A structured method for leadership development with a focus on the future through so-called "feedforward". The training provides tools to analyze leadership through the employees' perspective and create concrete development plans. With Lead Forward, I can help leaders get a clear picture of the current situation and identify priority areas for improvement, based on feedback that focuses forward, not backward. The method is based on the well-known Full Range Leadership Model, with an emphasis on behaviors linked to effective leadership. This license enables me to support managers and leaders in their personal development through structured conversations, coaching and leadership training.

Our mental resources in the form of Hope, Self-ability, Resilience and Optimism are areas we can develop and which clearly have significance for, among other things:

  • Physical and mental well-being
  • Motivation and commitment
  • Improved collaboration
  • Good performances
  • Enhanced learning
  • Actual results

In addition: 

  • Fewer conflicts
  • Reduced risk of burnout
  • Fewer quit and drop out

So a series of good foundations to help leaders with their own mental fitness and convey knowledge and insights to in turn support their employees.

Day2Day Leadership AB -TPM Authorized

The Team Performance Model TM (TPM) was developed by Alan Drexler and David Sibbet during the 1980s. It has since been used in all types of teams for over 30 years. The model has its origins in research on teams from the 1960s onwards. It rests on the group's different development phases like several well-known models:
Belonging & security, Opposition & conflict, Trust & structure, Work & Productivity.

TPM helps the team with what needs to be done to reach the productive phase. The way forward to optimal efficiency is visualized through 7 concrete steps:

  1. ORIENTATION.
  2. BUILD TRUST.
  3. OBJECTIVE FORMULATION.
  4. COMMITMENT.
  5. IMPLEMENTATION.
  6. HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM.
  7. RENEWAL.
