IN THE QUESTIONS WHY HOW AND WHAT

WHY? Beggi’s purpose is to help people understand how their existence makes a difference in the world and how they can be aware of and use their unique strengths, skills, abilities and knowledge to develop and contribute to something greater than themselves.

HOW? Beggi helps individuals, executives, leaders, teams and culture to develop with evidence-based practices from positive psychology and coaching psychology.

WHAT? Beggi’s expertise lies in optimal functioning, well-being, motivation, meaning in life and meaningful work.

WHO IS BEGGI?

Bergsveinn Olafsson is a PhD student in psychology at Claremont Graduate University in the USA. He has a MSc degree in Applied Positive psychology and Coaching psychology from the University of East London and BSc in psychology from the University of Reykjavik. In recent years, Beggi has used positive psychology and coaching psychology to help successful individuals, executives, teams and companies develop and reach their goals faster.

He is a professional speaker, an author of two books (in translation from Icelandic), administered one of the most popular podcasts in Iceland and is a former champion of Iceland in soccer.

WHAT IS BEGGI'S STORY?

Two “aha” moments can explain why Beggi is motivated in doing what he does. Firstly, Beggi experienced a defining moment in his journey when he was 17 years old, playing with the B-team of his youth soccer team. He was watching the A-team play and an important thought arose: “Why the heck am I watching the A-team play instead of being playing?” At this moment, Beggi realized that it was his responsibility to fulfill his potential and become the individual he could become.

The second “aha” moment happened when Beggi was determined to discover what constituted a meaningful life, in just two weeks. Beggi had an amazing business idea that was to map out a meaningful life and help people to live a meaningful life by recognizing and unlocking their full potential. After three days, Beggi figured out that this was probably going to be his life’s work. As a consequence, Beggi has written two books, given professional talks and done studies centered around the importance of living a meaningful life.

COACHING PSYCHOLOGY

At the core, coaching psychology is an approach to improve performance and wellbeing in the personal, social and professional domains of life. Coaching psychology is based on theories, approaches and interventions from psychology.

Clients approach Beggi’s service based on various needs, yet the underlying reasons are almost always to overcome challenges and develop ways to live the life they want to live and become the people they want to become. Some individuals want to make important life decisions, get support in navigating through difficult times, develop better habits, resolve a conflict, increase their wellbeing and self-confidence, become more courageous and resilient and live a more fulfilling life. Other people come to talk, organize their thoughts and engage in goal-setting.

- Inga Dora Sigfusdottir, Professor at the University of Reykjavik and Columbia University

Beggi has a unique intuition and maturity to connect with one’s own experiences. As a result, a guidance of how one can constructively take ownership of his life occurs. Working with Beggi improved my life a lot.

EXECUTIVE COACHING AND TEAM COACHING

Leaders approach Beggi to gain more physical and cognitive energy, increase their leadership skills, develop resources to face stress, make important decisions, develop greater communication skills and gain better control over their mind, emotions and behavior.

Beggi also uses approaches from coaching psychology and positive psychology to help teams increase performance, trust, psychological safety, communication, healthy conflict, team-efficacy, motivation and flow.

- Helgi Runar Oskarsson, CEO of 66°North

Beggi used executive coaching, controlled workshops and implemented a leadership progam with our leaders with great success.
