BEING IN BUSINESS
A project dedicated to integrating inner growth with impactful leadership
by Lasse Lychnell (PhD)
I founded Being in Business to be a bridge between valuable knowledge that usually falls outside traditional education and leadership challenges that defy simple solutions.
By combining research-based insights with actionable tools, my approach aligns performance and well-being while fostering personal growth and meaningful business outcomes.

“He had my attention from the beginning to the end. It was a really good session; even though we were tired after a complete week, I enjoyed the session every minute!”
​​
​"Very good with multiple layers of reasoning around why behaviors occur, how one reacts, and the needs behind them. Very thought-provoking."
​​
"Fun with a bit of different approach. Really good with tangible techniques. Loved the exercise where we were to just listen to each other. Very effective tool!"
​​
"Hard to turn the gaze inward, but oh so beneficial. To turn off the autopilot and dare to rest in the silence and the gap. Why are we so harsh on ourselves?"
