Harriet Bodö

Executive Coach & Mentor

Harriet Bodö is the founder of Coach Me & More, a Finland-based coaching and leadership development practice working with leaders, leadership teams and boards across the Nordic region. She holds a Master's degree in Economics from Hanken School of Economics and is an ICF-certified executive coach (ACC). Today she has 700 hours of coaching experience and has been coach and mentor to more than 200 leaders.

Her path into coaching started long before she called herself a coach. As Head of Department, Harriet had the benefit of both a coach and a mentor of her own — and experienced firsthand what a difference that support makes for leaders, who are often left to carry decisions alone. In 2018, she took the step into the unknown and became self-employed in exactly what she had benefited from most: helping people, teams and organizations grow.

That decision grew out of an agile background, a coaching leadership style, and a business mindset built on one conviction: business is best driven by both heart and brain. The same curiosity and business drive that shape her coaching also show up in her board and advisory board work, and in her wish to keep developing — personally, and organizationally. She is a certified board member (HHJ), and also speaks regularly as a keynote speaker on leadership, transformation and psychological safety, in Swedish, Finnish and English.

As organizations adjust to hybrid work, AI transformation, the gig economy and constant change, Harriet helps leadership teams and boards build the direction and mandate for transformation. But the real work, she is clear, happens with middle managers — the people who translate strategy into daily practice. She sums up her own approach to setbacks with a simple principle: either I win, or I learn.

Based in Vasa, Finland, after seventeen years on Åland, Harriet works with clients across the Nordics — in person, and in whichever language the room needs.
