“Pinecone X has given me a completely new perspective on what it means to be a good leader and how we can create sustainable organizations with people, the environment and the climate at the centre. An incredible amount of positive things have happened both privately and in business after participating in Pinecone X. I have changed my approach to life and feel much more balanced and in flux than before. This naturally results in good results for the company, the employees and myself. I can absolutely recommend joining Pinecone X if you want to be one of the pioneers in the new paradigm in organization and management!”

— Christian Wierød, CEO and Founder, Unite Living

“It is a gift to be able to participate in this journey - together with people with clear goals and ambitions with their leadership. I am impressed by the curation of the group and an exciting program that challenges me in a different, but positive way.”

— Elizabeth Matre-Aas, Managing Partner in Skogstad & Co, former CEO in Designit

“If I was to recommend ONE leadership program that truly brings about change, it has to be Pinecone. A leadership program outside the box, which will create lasting impact and change the way you think, lead and live.”

— Dirk Lammering, Head of Division Strategy, Innovation & Business Development, The Norwegian Digitalisation Agency 

“Becoming a part of Pinecone has created meaning and change in me from day one. Being greeted with openness and warmth in an inclusive context with people who are passionate about sustainability and making a difference in the world made a deep impression. Snorre and Caroline are unique facilitators. The combination between nature, psychology and conscious management has increased my insight into my own leadership role and behaviour, with which I in turn want to influence both my colleagues, the organization I am part of, and the outside world.”

— Metha Leonhardsen, Head of People and Development; Mesta

“I have been searching for principles of sustainable leadership all my professional life and felt that something important had been missing. With Pinecone, I have found “the missing link”. I look forward to seeing this movement grow.”

— Christian Dubrau, Head of Finance, Norfund

“As a human and a leader, I am committed to creating sustainable and regenerative systems and societies where we can participate as whole and creative beings without depleting the Earth and ourselves. To get there, we need to reestablish our connection with nature, make space for rest and presence, and participate in supportive communities. Caroline and Snorre have created a unique leadership program that contributes to exactly this. Thank you for being so brave and showing the way.”

— Stine Helgeland, Managing Director, Loop

“Before I joined Pinecone X, I  felt stressed and disconnected from myself. I had no idea how practicing simple tools and forced interactions with other leaders in the right order and a safe environment could influence my inner balance to such an extent. Today I feel a greater sense of clarity, an expanded perspective about both myself and the world. I’m so grateful, Caroline and Snorre that I got the opportunity to be a part of this.”

— Nina Skui Lohk, Founder of Oslo Philanthropic Exchange

“For me, Pinecone provides a breathing space and charging station in a hectic everyday life. A place where I get the opportunity to discuss how to live a better life and lead in the most true, sustainable, honest and present way - while meeting great people who challenge me and give me new perspective, insight and energy that makes me believe in a better tomorrow.” 

— Henrik Lervold, CEO, Dentsu Consulting

“In my search to learn how to strengthen a sense of kinship in our human economy, I found a home in Pinecone X. Through deep conversations and powerful sensory experiences, neatly balanced with playful awe, Snorre and Caroline magically led us towards a much needed shift - where separation in ourselves, between each other and the non-human world, is slowly dissolved. I am deeply grateful.”

— Anna Nordahl Carlsen,  Managing Director, Rethinking Economics

“Pinecone X taught me that a business world built on nature’s premises begins with leading yourself on nature’s premises.”

— Hilde Bekkevard, CEO, Smart Energi

“After working over 10 years in different agencies, I felt that something was not quite right for my own quality of life and that of the people I lead. In a field where success is measured by cold KPIs and high turnovers, I wanted to explore an alternative and go deeper. In Pinecone X, I got access to different tools for regenerative leadership and gained a broader understanding of regenerative development. To lead in a way that opens for excess energy and power in my everyday life. To prioritize rest and reflection in the workspace. I have learned about the separation between myself and nature, about the seasons and our inner cycles. Returning to a more natural way of life, makes me more valuable for the people around me and inspires me to be a better human.”
