Aleksi Litovaara

Hello and welcome to my webpage!

I’m Aleksi Litovaara – Executive & Leadership Coach, Solution-Focused Trainer, Keynote Speaker & Facilitator, Supervisor, Mentor Coach, and former World Cup winner & Olympic snowboarder.

My mission is simple: to help leaders, teams, and high-potential talents navigate change, perform at their best, and thrive sustainably – both professionally and personally.

Since 2002, I’ve been delivering keynotes, facilitating workshops and trainings, and hosting events that inspire audiences to reflect, recharge, and take action — reaching thousands of people. Since 2010, I’ve coached professionals around the world — from first-time managers to C-suite executives. My coaching blends positive psychology, mindfulness, and resilience practices with practical leadership tools honed across sports, media, PR, education, and entrepreneurship.

Coaching Focus:

First-Time Managers: Build confidence, overcome imposter syndrome, sharpen decision-making and feedback skills. With mindfulness, NLP, and practical strategies, they grow into confident leaders.
Leaders: Gain clarity in career and life, strengthen influence, and master delegation. Learn to set boundaries, communicate authentically, and lead with lasting impact.
High-Potential Talents: Enhance self-leadership, increase efficiency, and tackle underperformance. Develop strategies to navigate change and advocate for themselves with confidence.
Senior Executives: Elevate executive presence, refine leadership style, and sustain peak performance. Build resilience, recovery, and well-being for long-term success.
Teams: Align on values, purpose, and mission. Improve collaboration, motivation, and engagement through mindful communication and a shared vision.

My Coaching Journey

Snowboarding gave me medals and limelight — but more importantly, it taught me how to handle pressure, embrace setbacks, and perform with courage. Today, I bring those same lessons into leadership coaching: creating a safe space where tough goals and soft emotions go hand in hand.

Coaching is also personal. At 13, my Solution-Focused coach-mother helped me overcome my fear of competing — one of the most transformative lessons of my life. That experience shaped my passion for coaching, leadership, and helping others thrive.
