About Viveka Von Rosen
I’m an adventurous, intuitive, leading-edge-loving, post-executive coach and catalyst for change.
- I’m Canadian ! (And American )
- I became a hang glider pilot at 15 AND it was my 65-yr old (at the time) dad who got me into it!...
- I got my Master’s in Cultural Studies and started my Ph.D. in Women’s Studies (until my advisor told me that, being neither queer nor a man-hater, nor a fan of University politics, I didn’t have much of a future.)
- I wrote my first (unpublished) sci-fi novel at 17
- I was born a Countess (until I married my husband – thanks Alan)
- My dad was flying hang gliders, riding bikes, and kayaking until his death at 96
- I own a home in Colorado and Costa Rica (Blue Zone, Baby!)
- I’m currently learning to paraglide
- I married at 50 for the first time (even though a previous boss said I was more likely to get hit by lightning. Eff YOU Doug!)
- I literally COULD do underwater basket weaving. (My mom taught me how to weave baskets and was pretty renowned for it in her later years + scuba diving.)
