Bio

As a professional executive coach and leadership trainer, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve clarity, confidence, and tangible results in both your personal and professional life. With extensive training and experience, I provide the guidance, tools, and techniques you need to navigate challenges, enhance your performance, and unlock untapped potential.

Whether you're a senior executive seeking to lead more effectively or someone aiming to improve your overall well-being, I ensure you leave each session with practical strategies to make immediate improvements. It’s about maximising your return on investment, session by session.

For my life coaching and accountability coaching clients, I have developed a unique system for life coaching clients called "Wellness DNA". Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this system provides a comprehensive, measurable map of your personal and professional well-being. Over 6 months to a year, we’ll work together to target areas in your life that need development or transformation, giving you the motivation and direction to make meaningful, lasting changes.

My coaching philosophy revolves around empowering individuals to grow through reflective practice and targeted, personalised strategies. I believe in empathy and confidentiality in every session. Whether you’re looking to accelerate your professional growth or enrich your personal life, I’m here to guide you on your journey to success and fulfilment.

I was recently accepted onto a Unilever management coaching programme, with Lars as my coach over a 3 month period.

Lars is authentic, caring and empathetic and at the same time, provides constructive challenges and direct feedback to his coachees. He provides a safe space for coaching conversations and is also very strong at holding one accountable, often re-capping previous commitments and providing positive reinforcement and genuine feedback.

There is no topic that Lars is unable to provide a leadership nugget for. I made many notes of tools and techniques that I can use in common situational leadership exposures in my role and beyond.

I took great value from our interactions and would not hesitate in recommending Lars. He has a great ability to quickly connect with his coachee and forms a rapport, even remotely.

I first worked with Mr Mula a couple of years ago and am still working with him now. I really appreciate the work he's doing with me using a lot of different tools and techniques. One of the most powerful tools I used with Mr Mula is his WELLNESS DNA, an incredible method for unblocking negative thoughts, highlighting what is important in my life and helping me reach my goals. The biggest win for me working with Mr Mula has been changing my mindset and attitude to being more proactive and consistent - no more procrastination!

I really want to continue working with him in the future and continuing to improve both personally and professionally.

I had the great good fortune to be a coaching client of Lars and found him to be an eminent coach, far exceeding my expectations. We covered areas such as prioritization, time and energy management and career development during our time working together and Lars helped me create great clarity in all of those areas. As a coach, he is highly empathetic, structured and excellent at uncovering blind spots and unknown unknowns, which for me personally has been very helpful. I would highly recommend Lars as a coach to anyone in need of greater clarity in life and at work!
