Sandja Brügmann is a sustainable business and communication strategist and thought-leader, conscious leadership expert and educator, international speaker and published author. Lederne (Danish leadership organization) names her one of the “world’s leadership gurus” 2016.

Sandja serves the global business community to create strong and magnetic brands and extraordinary leaders with an ambition and focus on growth, sustainability & exponential innovation for the past 18 years. As managing partner and founder of Refresh Agency and The Passion Institute her business portfolio includes respected companies like Sustainable Brands, Crocs, Spier, ITO EN, Promote Iceland, LEGO, Living Institute, Ledernes Kompetence Center, The Body Shop and University of Colorado Boulder.

Sandja advocates for systemic thinking to drive business to be part of the solution, investing in leadership and organizational consciousness, and a shift where success is measured in how a company is the best for the world through the 5P bottom line: Passion, purpose, people, planet and profit.

She is an external lecturer at University of Colorado Boulder’s Masters of the Environment program teaching conscious leadership, on the board of directors ‘brain trust’ of Leading Humans research by Orbesen, and lead Conscious Leadership educator at Inclusive Leadership by Living Institute serving private and public business leaders.

I am as comfortable delivering a speech to a large, international audience as I am a workshop to a small group of people.

People tell me that they love my talks because I have an ability to build compassionate, trusting bonds, both one-on-one and on from a stage. No matter the setting, it is always my goal to deliver uplifting content that leaves people feeling enthused and challenged with new perceptions and ways of approaching an issue, all while teaching with authority, passion, empathy, humility and professionalism – helping the audience to align with their vision and purpose, and walk away with a ‘can do’ attitude and actionable tools.

She consistently manages to leave the audience with expanded horizons, new tools for self-improvement and actionable takeaways.

She comes highly recommended by the entire Sustainable Brands team!

I have known Sandja for many years both professionally and personally and I find her to be one of the most engaging and intelligent people I know. We have appeared together in presentations and I am always impressed with her ability to connect with people in any situation - whether a room of 2 or 200 she definitely knows how to communicate ideas with passion and skill. Her public speaking is exceptional, her knowledge of how to communicate ideas top notch and her enthusiasm for finding the passion in everything she does and pulling it out of everyone she meets is not only impressive ...it is humbling. I highly recommend Sandja!
