The best of two worlds…

The first world is rational, pragmatic and intellectual. This is my left brain, and my masculine side. This Lotta is the President and Founder of Quickenings, and an Internationally renown leadership- and business coach. She has a business background, a Master of Science in International Economics, and has studied at an MBA-school in Barcelona. She has started and led several companies and has created CORE™ a successful leadership method for women entrepreneurs, which is now being licensed throughout Europe. She’s also the President of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in Greater Los Angeles, on the European advisory council of Sheriff Baca in Los Angeles as well as the So Cal Co-Chapter leader of 85 Broads, an international leadership organization for women.

The other world is different. In this world, I live and sense my body. This is my right brain and my feminine side, thriving on being an empowered, sensual and intuitive woman. This Lotta is a life-coach, yoga teacher, singer, published author and has a deep appreciation of her intuition, as she travels her spiritual path.

Even though I was deeply fascinated by the ‘supernatural’ or ‘spirit world’ when I was a child, and felt, even then, as if I were being guided, I gradually became a cynic and rejected this side of me in fear of being ridiculed by others. This rejection drove me to a deep investment in my left brain, masculine side – an investment that lead to great success… and great failure.

In 2000, the Internet company I was the CEO and co-founder of in Sweden was a casualty of the burst of the Internet bubble, leading to a highly publicized bankruptcy. Paparazzi and news media hounded my every move and invaded every facet of my life.  The stress of this event eventually led to the collapse of both my marriage, and my physical health.

Forced to find a new way to thrive that was more holistic, I began a self-discovery journey. I moved to the US and took a crash course in Life 101 in order to find out who I was. I started with yoga, went on to study to be a coach and later on became an author and singer. I went on vision quests, worked with gurus, healers, and yoga teachers as well as undertaking a life-changing shamanic journey and studying as a clairvoyant.

I have now emerged from this journey with an acute understanding of the necessity and practice of successfully merging these worlds – the left brain with the right brain; the mind with body and spirit.  One result of this merger is the launch of our integrated leadership programs, which we now are bringing to executives, change-makers and entrepreneurs. We are also developing a Jedi-warrior training computer game based on the Quickenings model. Stay tuned!
