Nils Vinje is the founder and CEO of 30DayLeadership.com. He is a respected leadership coach, consultant, speaker, and author. Nils’ clients range from early-stage startups to Fortune 100 companies.
His specialty is B2B leadership - specifically a leadership framework for highly effective organizations.
For the first 7 years of Nils' professional career, he bounced from job to job not knowing where he fit.
He even became an apprentice for an artisan who made high-end custom furniture at one point.
After being an apprentice, Nils returned to graduate school and earned an MBA in Management and Organizational Behavior.
In this MBA program, Nils discovered his passion for management and leadership.
In 2012, Nils became a certified coach and began working with clients and using the skills with his teams inside the companies he worked for.
Each team Nils led became a high-performing team and earned him recognition and promotion. He accelerated from an individual contributor to a Vice President in 30 months!
After partnering with hundreds of leaders across many industries, he learned one important fact - to become the leader you have always wanted to be, you need a playbook.
As a result, Nils has authored the "30 Day Leadership Playbook" - a compilation of 20 years worth of leadership training.
