About Me

David Lin Kelstrup

A bit more about me.
I’m very much a family person, like to be active, with mountain hiking being one of my favorite things to do, I also like playing music and strategy games.

I call myself a social introvert, since I’m not shy about talking with people, but am aware that I regain energy when having some alone time.

I have good visual memory and learn best by hands on experience.

I hold to the Christian faith, and most of my values and beliefs derives from there.

My wife and I have developed a Hot Honey business (Chili infused honey) in Taiwan.

I'm passioned about personal growth for myself and for those around me and I became a coach, to help people grow in life and leadership, overcome challenges and find their calling in life.

I Live in Taiwan with my wife and daughter, but was born and raised in Denmark.
I was first introduced to the concept of coaching while living in California, in 2020 and immediately found it to be a very empowering way to reach goals and achieve personal growth. Since then, I have studied coaching at KCI (Kingdom Coaching Institute) where I gained my CTC (Certified Transformational Coach), better known as life coaching.

Cultural Curiosity

A personal interest in exploration has paved the way to more than 25 nations, I have enjoyed their rich culture, while at the same time being challenged on my own cultural blind spots, as each encounter mirrors back. These deep-rooted cultural habits, values and beliefs have also been challenged while living in 4 different countries and marrying my Taiwanese wife, whom I met while studying at a ministry school in northern California, has only increased my awareness around the fact that our cultural lenses through which we see the world aren’t universal.

Outgrowing Challenges

Having previously been a carpenter until injury threw a curveball, and experiencing life in several other nations has given a very personal understanding of the importance of outgrowing challenges. This has led to major changes both inwardly and outwardly in my own life. From changing hobbies, daily routines and how I see myself, to career changes, business startups and moving across continents.
