From Chaos to Calm

Empowering High-Achieving Leaders | Creative Strategist & Transformative Coach | Advocate for Positive Change
Dear Friends,
Many of you know me as a former sales leader and executive with over 30 years of experience driving international sales and business growth for companies like Philip Morris. You might also recognize me as an entrepreneur, founder of Helene Rennervik Consulting, co-founder of Nord Bridges Global, and as a coach and author passionate about unlocking potential for high achievers. I’ve been fortunate to build a community of over 36,000 followers on LinkedIn, working with driven professionals who seek clarity, vision, and success.
But there’s a story behind this success that I don’t often share.?
The Day Everything Changed
In the midst of my professional achievements, my world was turned upside down when my son, Yousef, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. In that moment, everything I thought I knew about life and success seemed to slip away.
It felt impossible to grasp. Denial took over, and I remember thinking, "This can’t be happening to us."
Then came the tormenting question:
?How can I protect him when this is beyond my control?
As a mother, the thought of losing my child was unbearable. Fear overwhelmed me, and uncertainty clouded my every thought.?
I started asking myself,?
What will happen to my career??
Will anyone want to work with a mother who’s consumed by her son’s needs?
This was the darkest moment of my life.?
My marriage was falling apart, and I felt utterly alone.
A Quiet Voice of Strength
But in the depths of that darkness, a quiet voice inside me whispered
Helene, this is not a punishment. This is for you, not against you. You are being prepared for something greater. You will grow through this
That was my turning point.
It became clear to me that while I couldn’t control the situation, I could control my response to it. My greatest strength was in my mindset, and that strength began with acceptance.?
Accepting the reality of the situation didn’t mean giving up—it meant opening myself up to trust, surrender, and the power of resilience.
I had to embrace the possibility that I might lose my son and still find a way to live with that truth. Only by surrendering to that uncertainty was I able to access the clarity and inner strength I needed to keep moving forward.
Finding Purpose in Adversity
This shift in mindset changed everything.?
I went from feeling powerless to knowing I could act from a place of hope.
Even in the face of the most terrifying challenge of my life, I secured the funds for Yousef’s life-saving surgery and navigated countless logistical hurdles.?
I learned to trust that there was a way forward, even when the path wasn’t clear.
Thankfully, Yousef’s surgery was successful, and today, he’s a healthy 18-year-old.?
Each time I look at him, I’m reminded of that inner voice that guided me through the storm: surrender, accept, and let your wisdom lead you because your mission awaits.
