In a world that moves faster than ever, shaped by technology, complexity and constant stimulation, Bente Vosteen stands out as a voice calling us back to something essential: our humanity. A leadership and sensory-intelligence coach, international speaker and founder in the field of creative early-childhood education, she works at the intersection of who we are as children and who we become as leaders. Her mission is clear — to help people rediscover their authentic selves, and to build cultures where human potential is not only recognised, but deeply honoured.
Yet Bente’s story did not begin in coaching. Her early career unfolded in event management, strategic marketing, sales and business intelligence across international markets. For years, she thrived in high-pressure, results-driven environments. But as she grew professionally and personally, she realised that the part of her work that truly inspired her had little to do with numbers or strategy. “I became fascinated by understanding people — their motivations, emotions and potential,” she says. That curiosity eventually guided her into a new chapter.
In 2019, after a pivotal moment of clarity, Bente transitioned fully into leadership and sensory-intelligence coaching. Her shift was not simply a career change, but the outcome of a deeper internal realisation. Authenticity, emotional awareness and inner freedom became the anchors of her work — and today, they define her philosophy of leadership. Before entering the corporate world as a coach, she created an organisation focused on bringing creativity and hands-on learning into kindergartens and primary schools. Her goal was simple yet profound: to help children stay connected to who they are, to understand both their strengths and challenges early on, and to grow up with a strong sense of identity.
This interplay between childhood and leadership became the foundation of her approach. “People often ask why I work with both children and leaders,” she shares. “But for me, it comes from the same place. Children who know who they are grow up strong and resilient. Leaders who reconnect with that same foundation create organisations that are innovative, human, sustainable and truly successful.” The gap she is trying to bridge is precisely this — the distance between the natural wisdom we carry as children and the way we lead as adults.
What makes Bente’s work unique is her rare combination of strategic business experience, scientific understanding and deep emotional intelligence. Having worked for years in the medical-device industry, she brings a solid grasp of how people function under pressure — physically, mentally and emotionally. This scientific perspective blends seamlessly with her creativity and sensory-intelligence coaching, allowing her to support leaders in a way that feels both grounded and intuitive. Instead of long theoretical sessions, she designs coaching experiences where people learn by doing. “When people experience a shift directly,” she explains, “the learning becomes embodied and real.”
Her work resonates especially with tech-driven organisations. “Many brilliant minds operate almost entirely from the mind, disconnected from their hearts,” Bente observes. She doesn’t see this as a flaw but as untapped potential. When individuals reconnect with intuition, emotional wisdom and creativity — without losing their analytical brilliance — something extraordinary happens. Innovation becomes more human, ideas become richer and teams work together with deeper meaning. This balance is exactly what she loves helping people achieve.
Motivation, for Bente, is not found in external success but in inner transformation. “What motivates me most is seeing people reconnect with their true selves,” she says. Whether someone discovers clarity, recognises their strengths or feels truly seen, these moments drive her more than any achievement.
Still, one milestone stands out. Bente was awarded the World Medal of Honor for Global Peace and Humanity and named Ambassador for Transformational Leadership — recognition she describes as deeply personal. “I never forced my journey,” she reflects. “I carried a quiet vision inside myself, but I didn’t believe it was possible while raising two children, building an organisation and growing my coaching work.” Yet as she learned to trust her inner direction, her internal vision began to manifest externally. The milestone became a symbol not only of her achievements, but of her alignment — the moment her inner truth and outer reality met.
Today, Bente’s future is filled with purposeful projects. She is developing a product designed to help both children and adults build healthy offline routines, reconnect with themselves and re-engage with creativity. At a time when technology shapes almost every aspect of life, she sees the need for a healthier digital relationship as essential for societal wellbeing. This product will be integrated into her work with organisations as well as her children’s company, which she is already presenting internationally.
Beyond that, she is writing a book that brings together her philosophy, methods and lived experiences, and she is building a global team of experts in Dubai. Her vision is clear: to offer tailored, deeply impactful experiences for organisations by combining diverse expertise and perspectives. “True transformation is not the work of one person,” she says. “It takes the combined strength, insight and creativity of a team.”
At the heart of everything Bente does lies a simple but powerful belief: success is not about achievement, but alignment — living with integrity, authenticity and human connection. Her work is a call to remember who we were before we learned to perform, and to lead from the place within us that is most true.
In a world searching for deeper meaning, Bente Vosteen’s message is timely, transformative and profoundly needed.
