I am Peter R. Valderhaug, a coach, speaker, and instructor

I help people and businesses create greater clarity, stronger collaboration, and sustainable action.

You already know a lot

Many people understand a lot about themselves. What is often missing is a clear path from insight to choices, relationships, and actions in everyday life.

I work with identity, communication, and action, so that what you already know can play a larger role in how you live, lead, and interact with others.

I practice what I preach

My work is based on many years of coaching, teaching and development work. It is also based on actively working with my own patterns, choices, and reactions.

Over the past three years, I have lost nearly 65 kilos through actively working with awareness, emotions, language, actions, and perhaps most importantly, identity.

For me, "walk the talk" means using and mastering the same questions, principles, and skills that I invite others to work with.

The Authenticity Paradox – podkast om identitet og relasjoner av Peter R. Valderhaug

The Authenticity Paradox

Together with Lexi Cruz, I created The Authenticity Paradox, an English-language podcast and digital community.

We explore identity, relationships, and the gap between what a person understands about themselves and what actually becomes visible in their life.

What if the hardest person to become is the person you already know you are?

The podcast is in English.

A place to start

I have written an e-book called "3 Patterns That Hold You Back and How to Start Changing Them". The book gives you a clearer picture of how old reactions are formed and where you can begin to create movement.

You will receive concrete perspectives on self-awareness, patterns, and action, delivered directly to your email.
