CONSULTANT
Born 1964
Business Profile
Asger Johannes Steenholdt has 35 years of experience in the business life – with a twist: Originally he was a musician, having played in bands such as Savage Rose, Lars H.U.G. and Love Shop, and has been a bassist and guitarist in Big Fat Snake since 1997.
However, his knowledge of complex, goal-oriented work environments with high performance pressure does not only come from the music industry.
For 20 years, Asger has worked as an executive coach and facilitator within larger organizations, where constructive collaboration, value-creating creativity, and crucial dialogue have been the focus. Asger also has board experience, including Gramex and the Danish Artists’ Union, the latter as VP for 7 years.
Asger challenges leaders’ habitual thinking, so that emotions and intellect do not exclude each other, and so that well-being and results go hand in hand.
Asger is fluent in Danish and English.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
Asger is a trained musician from Rhythmic Music Conservatory and Musicians Institute (Los Angeles), mediator, art innovation designer, and gestalt therapist.
He continuously supplements his interpersonal skills with supervision and further education in organizational and personal development.
As an experienced teacher, communicator, and process facilitator, Asger has worked with strategy development, change management, supervision of leadership teams, individual leadership development, conflict management & feedback training.
He has also designed and facilitated large conferences and workshops, both physically and online.
PERSONAL SKILLS
First and foremost, Asger is the father of four children aged 18-30 and has been married to Yasmin for 24 years.
He still plays music as a professional – but for fun. He has a twisted ’popcorn brain’ that makes him more than ordinarily curious and imaginative.
And he practices getting better at doing nothing – dreaming of a Mediterranean island.
