I am Majken Lorelei Matzau, psychologist, author & executive advisor to leaders across Europe & the United States

Who am I?
I have always been drawn to consciousness – not only as an academic discipline, but as a living mystery. From my earliest memories, I have been compelled by the great questions of existence: Who am I? Where do we come from? What is all of this?
I studied business first and psychology second, but it was psychology that became my calling. For more than twenty-five years, I have advised C-level leaders and developed organizations across Europe and the United States – while living a parallel life as a composer and performer of meditative music.
The two have never been separate paths for me. Everything we perceive is filtered through consciousness, whether we are studying a leadership team or the structure of the universe itself.

Welcome to my home, my office & my workspace
An 1845 mansion in the heart of Copenhagen – where psychology, beauty, and music converge
Lorelei’s Concert Hall
My work is available worldwide online, so wherever you are, I am too. I divide my time between Copenhagen and Los Angeles, and I travel frequently.
But if you have the opportunity to visit Copenhagen, I will welcome you to Lorelei’s Concert Hall – my historic home, built in 1845 and once home to the Wegener Library, Denmark’s largest private book collection at the time, now home to some of the most honest conversations executives will ever have.
More than a residence, it is the heart of my practice with cathedral ceilings and extraordinary acoustics that make it a space where beauty, history and consciousness truly converge.

I Speak on Leadership, Beyond the Boardroom – Explore my talks & keynotes

Keynotes & Talks
For more than 25 years, I have worked closely with CEOs, owners, and boards through some of the most demanding moments of their professional lives. What I have learned, again and again, is this: leadership is first and foremost an inner discipline. The way we lead others is inseparable from the way we lead ourselves.
In my keynote, “Leading Beyond Ego,” I bring that insight to the stage – exploring what happens when leaders move beyond fear and habitual patterns, and begin leading from clarity, presence, and purpose.
Delivered as an interactive talk of 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, in person or online, for leadership conferences, company events, and executive summits worldwide.

A selection of the companies I have had the privilege of working with

“I completed an intensive Executive Coaching program with Majken Lorelei Matzau, and my experience with her has been fantastic.
Everything is top-level – her professional expertise and her concert hall are five-star perfection. If you are looking for peace and clarity in your life, Majken Lorelei is the person to turn to.
I am very grateful to have had Majken Lorelei as my executive coach, and I look forward to continuing the process in the future. I received support both in my professional role and personally, and I have learned to manage difficult and unexpected situations.
I would absolutely recommend Majken Lorelei. She is a superstar sent from heaven to help people. The world would be a better place with more people like her.”
“I was referred to Matzau by a colleague, and I would not hesitate to recommend Matzau to my other colleagues as well. I completed a very positive coaching program with Majken Matzau, and the entire process felt tailored to my specific situation from the very first meeting. The original purpose of the program was to gain a clearer understanding of my strongest competencies and interests, and to understand how I can apply them in my current and future professional life.
Through personality assessments and meaningful conversations, I felt affirmed in my own perceptions of my competencies. At the same time, I made many new observations and began to see my strengths from multiple additional perspectives, which will undoubtedly strengthen me going forward in both my current role and future career steps.”
“The process with Majken Lorelei Matzau has been deeply professional from start to finish, without ever being impersonal or distant. It is highly effective that, already in the first session, many things are set in motion. It was impressive how quickly Majken Lorelei was able to read and understand my situation and get me to work on myself. It is close and personal, and you are challenged.
I have grown stronger in my understanding of who I am, and I have become better at not being so hard on myself. I have also improved at focusing on my own side of the table, and I have become far more authentic as a person – something that feels very good to me.
Majken Lorelei has been a fantastic catalyst, pathfinder, and cheerleader on my personal journey. She has my warmest recommendations.”
