Meet Our Founder

Lisen Ydse is the visionary behind The Wondervention Effect™, the Sumati Concept, and a global ecosystem of transformational programs under the umbrella of Sumati Group, our company, ecosystem, and 'mothership.' Over the last five years, she has meticulously developed The Sumati Concept Research Plan and laid out a strategic roadmap for the next five years (2025–2030) to explore the intersection of personal and collective transformation.

As a certified Hatha Tantra yoga and meditation teacher, SUP yoga instructor, and accomplished curriculum designer and author, Lisen integrates deep wisdom with practical tools to inspire change. Her work spans corporate leadership, HR management, mentorship, and creative strategy, where she has guided individuals and organizations through crises, growth, and profound change. She has led leaders and teams through mergers, acquisitions, large-scale organizational disruptions, and even crises like catastrophic fires and workplace tragedies.

Lisen’s accolades include a distinguished award from the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprises for her work reintegrating individuals into society after challenges such as addiction or incarceration. 

Her personal journey through adversity—financial hardships, loss and grief, health challenges, and profound life changes—has deepened her understanding of transformation. These experiences weren’t setbacks; they were lessons, mirrors, and catalysts for growth. Now, she uses her insights to empower others through The Wondervention Effect™ and the broader Sumati Concept, creating ripple effects for communities, organizations, and global action.
