🎙️ Special Series: Business Constellations
What Strategy Can’t See
In this special podcast series, we explore business constellations and the hidden dynamics that influence leadership, money, teams, growth — and the quiet urge many entrepreneurs feel to leave it all behind.
Together with systemic constellation facilitator Celeste Hansen, we look beneath strategy and mindset to uncover unconscious patterns, loyalties, and tensions that shape business outcomes — often without us realizing it.
This series is for entrepreneurs, founders, and leaders who sense that their challenges are not only operational, but systemic.
