What leaders Are Saying

Hear directly from leaders
how I’ve helped them up-level their leadership effectiveness

Fabiola brings high energy and profound insights that naturally stimulate more productive and transformative conversations. She has been incredibly supportive in both recruitment and leadership development, enhancing the quality of our work. I've personally gained from being assessed, challenged, and inspired by her. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Fabiola, and I highly recommend her.

Louise HahnGroup CEO at Energi Danmark Group

I worked with Fabiola Sommer for six months in a 1:1 executive coaching programme. While I had previously completed management sparring, it wasn’t until working with Fabiola that I fully appreciated the value of an effective, results-driven coaching programme. Fabiola has a unique ability to quickly understand core business challenges while maintaining a strong focus on achieving tangible goals. Through the programme, I gained a fresh perspective on leadership, developed greater strategic insight, and adopted a more effective approach to transformation, achieving measurable results both professionally and personally. Better outcomes and increased effectiveness are two specific benefits I’d like to highlight from my work with her. I highly recommend Fabiola Sommer. Should you wish for a more detailed recommendation, I am happy to provide one.

Morten HedrichVP of Sales & Co-Owner at Atobi

"Everyone should have a Fabiola of their own! This is a to-the-point and highly specific coaching programme that ensures change and generates results. I’ve gained greater clarity about myself and my reaction patterns, and have become better at communicating my needs. Fabiola is trustworthy, tough and challenging. She’s observant, analytically sharp, and and committed to development."

Mia Manghezi Director of Project Development at PensionDanmark

"Fabiola has a vast capacity and is driven to help others grow.

She has a unique ability to cut through pretence
and identify what lies behind habits and tendencies that are often counterproductive to achieving success.

I have improved my impact as a trusted advisor, colleague, and leader.

I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to enhance their personal power.
It’s not easy, but the investment returns tenfold."

Mikael Pontoppidan Business Development Director at Arup

"I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself, and my personal leadership has been strengthened.
I feel more grounded and present in my role, and I’ve improved my communication,
ensuring I think things through carefully before making any final decisions.

I now have better insight into my employees, allowing me to adapt my leadership approach to them,
resulting in more cohesive collaboration.

Within our leadership team, we’ve learned to leverage our differences to strengthen our teamwork.
Our cohesion has improved—we support each other 100%.

Fabiola constantly challenged us to be more specific about what we mean.
She brings a holistic approach, great knowledge of the brain, and I feel her authenticity and genuine presence."

Kent HvidtfeldtCEO at Kjær Knudsen A/S

"Fabiola has an exceptional understanding of people! She is present, respectful, highly competent, and unafraid to ask the tough questions. I’ve been on a personal development journey with Fabiola for the past few months, and through the process, I’ve become more confident in myself. I’ve also gained a much deeper awareness of my behaviour patterns, both positive and negative, which has brought me inner peace in both my personal and professional life. Fabiola has also helped me realise that people are motivated by different things, and this awareness has given me a better understanding of why we often misunderstand each other. The programme has been demanding—it requires you to be vulnerable, to open up, and to confront and answer difficult questions that can feel very close to home. But if you stay committed and work through it, the rewards are immense, making the hard work more than worth it. I highly recommend working with Fabiola to anyone who wants to better understand themselves and those around them."

Katrine BustProjektleder at Aqvila A/S

"I have had the pleasure of working with Fabiola and continue to benefit from our collaboration. I’ve experienced a high degree of professionalism throughout, especially during a recruitment process where she guided me as a leader. Fabiola challenged my assumptions and asked the tough questions that helped me clarify a precise and realistic picture of the ideal candidate. It was an excellent process! On a personal level, Fabiola has also made a positive impact. Her effective questioning techniques and simple exercises have helped me find peace of mind, particularly around one of my biggest 'phobias'—cognitive tests. Fabiola and I share a common vision of 'modern leadership,' with a strong focus on personal core values as a foundation for effective management. This makes every interaction with Fabiola both interesting and inspiring. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future."

Henrik SkovDirector, Head of Transition & Delivery Management at Global Connect

"Professional, yet very empathetic, with a sharp ability to see through people's surface!

Fabiola has guided me with substance and results. In a time when the market is overflowing with self-appointed coaches,
Fabiola finds a way to differentiate herself to the benefit of her clients."

Tommy Bondorph Olsen Project Manager at Aqvila A/S

Fabiola has a unique ability to sense and articulate what truly drives people, even when it’s difficult to see for yourself. She truly is a 'people person.' As my career coach, she has consistently provided me with 'aha' moments, helping me gain clarity about my motivations and how to create more opportunities in my work and relationships. She has a deep understanding of why certain situations energise me while others drain me, and she’s guided me on how to work with that in my career. Her approach is kind and caring, but she’s not a people pleaser. Fabiola isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions—ones that explore both the past and the future. She helps me understand how my current behaviours may repeat old patterns and challenges, while also encouraging me to shift my mindset to become the best version of myself. Although her focus is professional, she recognises that the personal and professional often overlap—especially when you want your work to be meaningful. For Fabiola, it’s a natural premise that both personal and professional aspects are interconnected, and she coaches with this in mind. I can only offer my highest recommendation for Fabiola, particularly if you’re seeking coaching that addresses not only your professional development and leadership role but also your personal motivations. And if you’re open to looking inward, Fabiola will guide you in ways that truly make a difference."

Bjørn AxelsenLead Consultant at Devoteam Digital Impulse

Her enthusiasm, positive attitude, and professionalism throughout the sessions are key factors that make the experience so impactful. I wholeheartedly recommend Fabiola—working with her has been a unique and transformative experience!

Jess AlfredsenFounder at Datageneration.ai

I have gone through both the individual Enneagram tests with personal feedback and am currently working with Fabiola to sharpen our startup team’s business model. Fabiola has a deep mastery of Enneagram profiles and can provide insight into even the smallest team dynamics, showing how they influence our approach to strategic initiatives and values. Creating a sharp business model is challenging, but understanding the personalities involved in the process is key to success. With her unique ability to understand people combined with her strategic insight, Fabiola offers a solid foundation to help guide you toward an executable business model. All participants gain a greater awareness of themselves and others, and that self-awareness is worth its weight in gold.

I have had the pleasure of working with Fabiola in connection with the establishment of our startup, insights.bi. We’ve worked with Fabiola to refine both our business profile and our personal profiles, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for both. In strengthening our business profile, Fabiola has been an excellent sparring partner, helping us sharpen our business pitch and focus on our core delivery. Her solid business understanding and ability to see things from the customer's perspective have greatly helped us strengthen the authenticity of our message. On a personal level, Fabiola has worked with our team to enhance daily collaboration by focusing on our respective personal profiles. In a fast-paced team with years of experience and strong attitudes, her work has been invaluable in building mutual understanding and trust—both essential for increasing cooperation and achieving our future goals. Having encountered many management coaches throughout my career, I find Fabiola to be extraordinarily skilled in identifying and helping us address our blind spots, making her guidance incredibly valuable.

In this programme, Fabiola guides you step by step, helping you gain clarity on where you want to go as a leader and who you aspire to be, while aligning that vision with your current leadership responsibilities. She helps you recognise how you may be limiting your leadership effectiveness and standing in your own way. Fabiola facilitates the process in such a straightforward and simple manner that it makes sense—even to an engineer like me! Fabiola has made a lasting difference in my life!

Thomas BischoffProjektchef at Sjælsø Management

In connection with my employment as a Tender Manager at Züblin A/S, I had the great pleasure of going through a recruitment process with Fabiola Sommer from The Pine Group. Fabiola is exceptionally competent and a genuinely pleasant person, deserving great praise for the thorough and professional process she led. Fabiola’s meticulousness and dedication ensure that you receive valuable feedback throughout the process. Regardless of the job outcome, you gain significant insights into yourself as a leader, understanding your strengths and areas for improvement. It’s an incredibly positive and enriching experience. Additionally, Fabiola has extensive experience and knowledge of the construction industry, which is invaluable when recruiting managers for this sector or offering leadership consulting and personal development. I have continued to work with Fabiola as a sparring partner in my own leadership journey. Her industry-specific expertise has been crucial for me, as it was important that my leadership consultant thoroughly understands the construction sector, which Fabiola certainly does. She has provided me with helpful feedback, inspiration, advice, and practical tools to ensure I stay on the right path. Fabiola has been the perfect choice in this regard. Fabiola’s work in leadership consulting and personal development provides you with concrete management tools, a fresh perspective on your leadership style, and actionable suggestions for continued growth. This is something the construction industry sorely needs, and Fabiola is exceptionally well-equipped to deliver. I wholeheartedly recommend other companies, both within and outside the construction industry, to engage Fabiola for personal development, leadership consulting, and, especially, when recruiting new managers

Mikael SchrollHead of Tender and Marketing at Züblin DK

I have had the pleasure of working with Fabiola as a facilitator over the course of several years. Thanks to Fabiola, I have gained deeper insights into planning, project management, quality management, communication, and conflict resolution. Through the process, I have developed alongside my colleagues and gained a better understanding of their daily challenges, which has helped me appreciate their decisions more. This has made other people’s work routines more visible, improving the cohesion between departments within the company. I give Fabiola my highest recommendations

Lars AlexanderTilbudsleder at HKB

In my previous employment, I had the pleasure of working closely with Fabiola. Her expertise has been invaluable, particularly through her participation in management development courses and personal coaching. These courses have not only helped me become a better manager but have also played a significant role in advancing my professional career. I’ve also had the opportunity to engage Fabiola in various areas concerning my team, from recruitment to development programs for employees, and in planning and facilitating several collaborative development initiatives. This included a 2.5-year educational program that benefitted the entire company. I can only give Fabiola my highest recommendation. Her professional skills, empathy, and insight into the people she works with enable her to facilitate behavioural changes, from the small adjustments that make a good manager great, to broader organisational changes that strengthen the entire value chain. One example of Fabiola’s impact was within my department, where we faced challenges due to employees working too narrowly in their roles. This caused issues with cross-department collaboration, as different teams were receiving inconsistent information. Fabiola prepared and facilitated a course that immediately improved work routines and created far greater coherence within the department. I look forward to continuing to work with Fabiola in the future
