About Anna Eriksson
“Powerful, joyful, confronting … excellent coaching in every way”.
Living as I Learn – Curious on the New
I’ve always followed a path of development — my own and others’.
My professional journey began in academia,
with a bachelor’s degree and eight years of research work at the university.
But I felt called to move from theory to practice — from analysis to impact.
Coaching became that path.
A Deep Practice in Leadership
For over 20 years, I’ve worked as a leadership coach
with CEOs, entrepreneurs and senior managers.
I founded Avalona to support leaders in finding clarity,
courage and joy — not only in their leadership, but in life.
I’ve trained deeply in the profession,
and I was awarded the International Coach Federation’s highest credential
– Master Certified Coach (MCC) – held by only a few percent globally.

Letting Go — A New Chapter
Then, my husband and I got a calling to let go
of everything in Stockholm
to live and sail around the world.
That journey became more than an adventure
— it was a full transformation.
I learned the deep value of letting go,
not just of possessions or routines, but of identity.
Letting go of the MCC title, as I wrote about in this article,
was an act of alignment, stepping forward
— into a life lived fully, with presence and freedom.

A New Life, Wave by Wave
Life at sea taught me to live with less, listen more deeply, and trust the unknown.
It was humbling to be a beginner again — to meet storms, silence,
and myself with presence.
I got more intuitive, patient and learned to embrace change.
Out of that experience came my most personal book yet:
🌊 Wave by Wave – From City Stress to Oceanic Freedom
A memoir about letting go. From a life of intensity in Stockholm to living afloat,
this book shares the inner and outer journey of finding freedom,
presence, and trust — wave by wave.
