About Bodil Biering, PhD
I believe that having fun is efficient.
My passion for creative problem solving led me to a PhD in mathematics and computer science and a career in software development.
My curiosity for what motivates people and how they think led me to move on and study leadership and organisational paradigms and to becoming a certified Integral Professional Coach™.
“I am driven by a desire to help leaders and organisations find that sweet spot where passion and work become one.
I believe that having fun is efficient, and that struggle and hard work belongs in the past.
I love Simplexity, which means finding the simple on the other side of complexity, like solving a puzzle, the clarity that comes when you see the solution.
“I love to make complicated and hard stuff more fun and easy for people. And I am here to make it easy for you.”
“My clients tell me that they like to be around my vibe of calm confidence.”
I love helping you get so excited about your work, that you jump out of bed each morning. Fully alive. Knowing that you have the tools and strategies to make your vision come true while having a fun and fulfilling journey. That is my wish for you.
Frederic Laloux’s book Reinventing Organisations is considered by many to be the most influential management book of this decade.
It certainly had an impact on me and answered a lot of my questions on management and organisation. It also opened the door to Spiral Dynamics, Ken Wilber’s integral theory, and to the coaching school, Integral Coaching Canada. I create a non-judgmental space for people so they feel safe and understood.
“I often get: I’ve never shared this with anyone before”.
“I combine two worlds, the technical, rational, scientific with the human-oriented, caring, inclusive.”
The bridge is Simplexity and self-mastery. It makes sense, it’s functional, and it gets us to a future we desire.
My career has been diverse. I am unconventional and innovative and I see opportunities rather than limits. I value integrity, honesty, competency, and humor.
The consistent thread throughout my work is my dedication to deep work, tangible results, playfulness, and “simplexity”.
I define “Simplexity” as the elegance of simplicity on the other side of complexity.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“It was a genuine pleasure and profound experience working with Bodil, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to be coached by such a skillful, attentive and kind individual.
This was my first experience of coaching and I did not know what to expect, but from the moment we started I knew I was in the safest hands. Bodil has a very warm, open, and non-judgemental nature which enabled me to open up and share without hesitation.
She listens with patience, empathy, and acute perceptiveness, picking up on the nuances which I think many others would miss, and in return offers deep, meaningful, and thought-provoking questions and insights that brought about fundamental change.
I came to Bodil at a crossroads in my life, unclear on the path to take next, and through our work together, Bodil has given me deep clarity and a collection of life-long lessons which I will carry with me for a long time to come.
I highly recommend Bodil to anyone who is looking to bring about transformative change and unlock your best self”.
- Ishani Parekh, Director of Education at Revolution Hive, UK
“I've worked with Bodil during an interesting time in my life. I had to decide if I wanted to go ahead with an investor in my business or would fly solo. Bodil supported me along this way and I expanded my business in an even better way than I expected.
Thanks for your guidance, Bodil. I love how you combine heart & mind.”
— Merel van der Wouden (LL.M), Negotiation Coach, Founder at Blackbird Negotiations, Amsterdam
“I had a wonderful experience with Bodil's coaching!
She helped me realize and work through a block I didn't even know I had. After only one session I felt more clear and empowered as well as had some tools to implement right away! Her calm and nurturing energy is incredibly powerful.”
— Tricia Camacho, Founder at Creative Costume Academy, US
I wanted to clarify my purpose, what is the unique thing that I can give to the world.
Bodil was asking me questions that went deeper and deeper to gain clarity. First my thoughts were flying around, but she grounded me, and with the questions and the space she created I could actually gather all these components, that I have been researching over the years. By the end of the session, I gained fantastic clarity. After the session, she sent me an email where all my statements were written down and also some material so I can go deeper. It was really a breakthrough and shift for me. I was never able to summarise all these components, it just came together.
- Marianna Fleck, Shiatsu practitioner, London
“
Before we started I was super confused about what I wanted and what I allowed myself to want. I was ruled by fear. With Bodil’s help I now feel complete, balanced, and grounded. Feels like something I have been working on forever and now I finally got it. Bodil is absolutely amazing at asking questions that just opens up to this new way of thinking. The best part of the program was that we created it together, that it was more a conversation than a strict program. That makes it 100% customizable so that you really get the most out of your coaching experience.

We could not have done it without Bodil. She does really well coming into an organisation; humanly engaging with people, creating empathy and they liked having her around.
We managed to not complicate the project, it felt straight forward.

“
I was going through a difficult time in my life, I was not happy and my emotions were all over the place. And this affected not just me, but my family too. With Bodil’s help, I learned to connect to within, I feel more grounded and self-aware of my own needs.
What I like most about this program is the personalised exercises and practices she creates just for you, I found them very helpful. I would definitely recommend Bodil’s coaching program, she is an amazing person and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Bodil. She has helped me find myself again, and today I can truly say: I am happy.
