Illuminating Lives With Her Positivity and Radiance
Bente Vosteen is a coach, consultant, and speaker who aims to break free from outdated leadership models and embrace an authentic, powerful style that allows for deep, human, and transformative connection. She supports leaders and teams in building trust, fostering collaboration, and creating work environments where people thrive. One of her passions is nurturing creativity in children, ensuring they grow up with the freedom to think confidently.
Her illustrious career started in strategic marketing, sales, and business intelligence. She loved the dynamic corporate world, but in 2019, a personal experience changed her perspective. She realized leadership is more than just performance; it’s about humanity. She says, “This inspired me to become a life coach. Today, I help leaders and teams build deeper connections beyond numbers and titles. My work allows them to unlock their full potential. This journey has taught me that true leadership comes from within, through authenticity, courage, and the willingness to evolve.”
As an SI Leadership Coach, she integrates sensory intelligence and emotional awareness to help leaders and teams develop a more intuitive, human-centred leadership style. She guides leadership teams and executives in creating trust-based cultures that foster collaboration and growth. Beyond corporate spaces, she advocates for creativity in education by helping schools and kindergartens connect with creative partners. By supporting these partnerships, she and her team encourage a learning environment that fosters individuality and adaptability for the future. Whether in leadership or education, her goal is to create space for growth, authenticity, and transformation.
When it comes to inspiration, Bente feels that the incredible power of the human spirit is one of the biggest driving factors. Helping people transform is deeply fulfilling for her. Her goal is to empower leaders, teams, and children worldwide so that creativity and authentic leadership become the norm. She believes that when people connect with their intuition and true selves, they create something great—for themselves and those around them.
She believes her greatest strength is seeing people—not just their roles or performance, but their essence. She helps them embrace their strengths and take bold new steps. She mentions, “But I have also had to learn: I used to think success meant having all the answers. Now, I know that real growth comes from asking the right questions. Patience and trust were my biggest learning challenges. Change takes time, and not everything is immediately clear. But it is in this process that the magic happens; when we are open to the unknown, the biggest transformations occur.”
For Bente, balance comes from deep connections—with her family, friends, and through meaningful conversations. Nature and sports help her stay grounded, while international work allows her to stay true to herself. She is grateful that she can live a fulfilling family life while working globally and sharing experiences with people worldwide. This mix of stability and adventure brings her peace and inspires her daily.
Since creativity gives her profound energy, she loves to write poetry, tell stories, and work with children to nurture their creativity. Movement is essential for her well-being, and she loves starting her mornings with dancing and music in the kitchen with her children. It instantly lifts the mood, creating joy and relaxation. She always challenges herself to create new positive routines that infuse life with energy. Pushing limits through sports, especially extreme sports, also helps her build courage for physical challenges and bold decisions in life.
Bente believes that her leadership style is intuitive, authentic, and human. She mentions, “True leadership emerges when people recognise their intuition and unique inner architecture. Those deeply connected to their essence generate incredible power and naturally pass it on to those around them. Inner freedom creates outer courage. For me, leadership is not about control but about trust and connection. When people live in their truth, there are no limits—neither for themselves nor their teams.”
She shares a message for our readers: “You are your greatest asset. Your intuition, creativity, and uniqueness are your superpowers. Trust yourself, and follow your path. Don’t wait for permission to live the life you desire. Courage does not mean being fearless but moving forward despite fear. When you live authentically, you naturally inspire others. Stay curious, open, and willing to step outside your comfort zone. Success is not measured by titles but by your positive impact on the world.”
Beyond formal recognitions and publications, including being featured in Executives Diary Magazine, her greatest reward is witnessing a transformation. Seeing leaders become more confident, teams thrive in trust, and children retain their creativity fulfils her the most. The most valuable moments for her are the heartfelt messages from people telling her how their work together has changed their lives. No trophy or title could ever compare to that for her.
