Professional coaching
High-quality human dialogue that creates space for reflection, challenge, new perspectives and personal responsibility for development.
About UpMe
UpMe is built on a simple premise: development becomes more relevant when it starts with the person’s actual role, situation and context.
That is why we combine high-quality leadership development with an understanding of the professional reality in which new perspectives, decisions and behaviours need to work.
Contact UpMeThe idea behind UpMe
The need for personal development never ends.
For development to become genuinely valuable in the role and the organisation, it needs to connect to the challenges, decisions and situations where it can make the greatest difference and be translated into something that genuinely makes us better.
The idea behind UpMe grew out of this very gap. Professional coaching is powerful in reflection, accountability and human dialogue. Relevant experience of the role and the organisation makes the conversation more precise, while a goal-focused methodology creates direction and continuity.
UpMe brings these elements together in need-based development, with the ambition of creating value both for the participant and for the organisation in which that development needs to matter.
– Peter Dynér, founder of UpMe
Three foundations
Need-based progress is built on three important foundations.
UpMe combines the human strength of professional coaching with relevant contextual understanding and clear methodological direction.
Role- and business-specific experience
Contextual understanding and relevant experience make it possible to understand situations, demands and trade-offs at the level where they actually arise.
Goal-focused methodology
Clear direction, prioritised development goals and follow-up create better conditions for development to be applied and sustained over time.
Our ambition and aspiration
To create meaningful progress where it is needed most.
To realise prioritised, relevant and sustainable development that strengthens both the leader’s and the organisation’s capability day to day.
Prioritised
Development should focus on what matters most in the situation at hand, not on everything that could potentially be developed.
Relevant
The work should be grounded in the real demands, decisions, relationships and situations that shape the role and the organisation.
Sustainable
New perspectives and capabilities need to remain usable after the programme has ended and day-to-day reality takes over again.
Our core values
Safety and trust.
Development requires a relationship where real issues can be worked on openly, while knowing that integrity, confidentiality and professional boundaries are respected.
Safety
There should be room to think out loud, test perspectives and work on difficult issues without unnecessary posturing. Integrity and confidentiality are fundamental to the relationship between client and programme leader.
Trust
Trust is earned through professional judgement, clarity, respect for boundaries and consistent quality – in the relationship with both the client and the sponsor.
Our delivery philosophy
Quality should be an inherent characteristic of UpMe.
UpMe’s programmes, quality principles and delivery standards are designed to create a consistently professional experience, while allowing each assignment to adapt to the real situation.
Relevant expertise
The programme leader needs to combine development expertise with sufficient understanding of the professional context in which the assignment takes place.
Shared quality discipline
UpMe should be able to adapt the work without compromising clarity, professionalism or consistent quality.
Human judgement
Structure and methodology should support development. They do not replace attentiveness, experience or professional judgement in an individual assignment.
Integrity in delivery
The client’s integrity and the confidentiality of the development relationship must always be respected, including when the assignment has an external sponsor.
