We help leaders thrive
in a complex world

We help leaders thrive

People long for a new kind of leadership – one that is suited for complexity, transformation, and long-term ambitions.

We coach, teach, and advise leaders how to thrive in an uncertain and complex world, while fostering breakthrough results.

Executive leadership advisory

We work with you one-to-one, and include your team, the board, and other stakeholders as you see fit.

Our job is to help you identify where to start, form new ways of being, and build a leadership system that supports people in your organisation to manifest an inspiring vision.

While your situation is unique, it will always reflect challenges between intention, execution, and results.

We begin through understanding of three dimensions:

The leadership foundation: Vision, values, philosophy, principles, and long-term goals.

The people: Alignment, mindset, trust competencies, behaviours, and composition.

The management structures: Operational governance, KPIs, meetings, and feedback.

While we do run shorter engagements our work typically stretches over 6 – 18 months with varying degrees of intensity, to help you lead real transformative shifts.

Leadership coaching

It is said that 40% of a company’s performance depends directly on the CEO, but the idea applies to the importance of leadership in general.

It seems clear that self-awareness, mindset and behaviours should be on the top of the agenda for any leader, especially if you have a strategic role to play.

An engagement might explore a specific topic over a few sessions, but typically we work with clients over 3-12 months to ensure sustainable shifts in the way they lead.

Meet IMPACT Extend. Over 18 months we supported the two Co-CEOs Thomas Obelitz-Rode and Torben Veje to build a scalable, purpose driven and high-performing organisation. 

The outcome was a leadership group making decisions with clear collective intent, a trusting culture capable of turning conflict into solutions, and a clear focus on key goals through OKRs and a pioneering governance structure—altogether supporting sustainable, long-term results.

At the time of this case (2019-2021)  IMPACT Extend was a 1st tier digital marketing agency with 50 employees and growing at 35% per year. In 2024 the company became a division of the digital commerce agency  IMPACT A/S with approximately 400+ employees.

Hi, I'm Jakob

I was born in Aarhus in 1985 and put down roots in Copenhagen in 2007. My youth began with elite gymnastics and took a dramatic turn when I survived a debilitating knife attack in Costa Rica in 2006. The difficult years that followed have taught me invaluable lessons about life and have shaped my ability to create transformative breakthroughs – first as a coach and later as a teacher, facilitator, and executive advisor.

Over the past 15 years, I have coached hundreds of people, and helped them navigate both personal and complex business challenges. As an advisor, I have worked with a broad range of senior leaders, from CEOs and executives to strategic project managers and department heads. My work is not defined by company size or industry but rather by the nature of the leadership challenges my clients face.
