Jag är inbjuden av den brittiska utbildningsinstitutet Care Knowledge för att tillsammans med Michael May och professor Nigel Tubbs prata om ”Conversations in Practice - Purpose, Style and Authenticity” Webinariet är gratis och riktar sig till alla inom hjälpande yrken. Tack för inbjudan Sarah Leon och för att du introducerade mig Tim Anstiss. Länk i kommentarerna. Här är den engelska beskrivningen. This webinar is about listening, thinking and talking and how these essential skills are used in conversation. Dialogue is often the foundation for understanding and human connections that can result in learning and personal development, trust and confidence, and motivation to change. Unapologetically philosophical, this webinar will consider the complexity of conversations, the assumptions we make about them and their power to transform our thinking, wellbeing and relationships. Expect to question whether conversation skills are appropriately valued in our practice and feel motivated to be more proactive and intentional about developing your listening, thinking and speaking skills. There's a lot at stake if we don't do this well and we can help people to change their lives for the better when we do.   Learning outcomes: * Critically reflect on the importance of conversations and the value placed on them in our practice * Develop a broader understanding of the impact well-developed conversation skills can have on our own wellbeing, our ability to motivate positive change and the wellbeing of those we are in conversation with * Critically examine the assumptions that we bring to conversations and reflect on what they mean for our ability to be authentic and present with other people * Feel motivated to be more proactive and intentional about developing your listening, thinking and speaking skills.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸?.....𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗼𝘄. After two days at TechBBQ, I’m feeling truly inspired. From meeting so many passionate Gen Z’ers hopeful for the future, to moderating a panel with Trille Frodelund Lykke, Karina Tewes and Marek Azoulay Jørgensen - the insights were clear: Neurodiversity and flexibility will shape leadership, Gen Z is teaching us bold lessons on adaptability, and diversity isn’t optional - it’s a must. 🔥 Thanks, guys, for at great conversation. Among the many inspiring talks I caught, Henrik Teisbæk really stood out - claiming that he might be "unmodern" for believing in clear directions and one person taking the final call. But here’s the thing: Maybe that’s exactly what makes him modern - owning it and standing firmly by his belief. 💡 I was also moved by Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen Female Invest, who gave such an honest take on the struggles they’ve faced building their business. Her vulnerability was refreshing. 🙌 Caspar Lee shared some eye-opening insights on the opportunities and pitfalls of creator-led ventures, and jager mcconnell had some pretty terrifying stories about the challenges women face in raising capital. 😳 And of course, the job matchmaking magic at Juice’s booth was a sight to see. Lines of hopeful candidates queued up, searching for their next big opportunity, scanning the screens with open applications from the platform. Simon, David and Mathias, you guys absolutely charmed everyone - on stage and at the Tech Talent Lounge. Your passion and excitement were infectious, and you left no doubt that the future of recruitment is already here. 💥 It was also a blast reconnecting with so many in my network, both old friends and new faces. 😊 Thank you, TechBBQ, for two days of bold ideas, powerful connections, and endless inspiration. Ready for what’s next 🚀

3️⃣ tips to drive more impact from your Board Meetings 👇 We have received a lot of great feedback on our way of doing board meetings So good that multiple elements have been added as best practice at some prestigious universities and implemented in a couple of Denmarks biggest companies 🏢 It is not rocket science, but here a few tips based on our learnings: 1️⃣ Video Material as preparation 🎥 Before the board meeting starts everyone should know what to discuss (Agenda) & have the needed context to discuss it. We use videos to ensure that, where with just 1 hour of video content we can add a lot of relevant context to bring everyone up to speed 🚀 This should not take more than a couple of hours to prep & I would recommend to almost only use your day-to-day work material as the things you record from. Loom is a good software tool to do the videos This brings me to my second advice 😃 2️⃣ Do not spend time on reporting - aim to create value 📊 When talking to founders I often get surprised on how many spend the majority of their board meetings doing reporting. That SHOULD be done beforehand (ideally monthly) and all potential questions to this should be addressed in writing before the meeting. It is okay to spend the first 30 minutes on clarifying questions to material etc. - but do NOT let it overflow and capture the meeting 👻 Instead we often design workshops with clear Desired Outcomes and work with the Board like it was an internal strategy session daring to be 100% transparant & vulnerable and utilise their experience on the topics to get as much value as possible. We never vote or make definitive decisions (with the exception being fundraising and similar matters) - instead we regard it as input and make the business decisions in the Leadership Team, who has the needed day-to-day context to make great decisions 3️⃣ Board don’t really make the differences, but can for sure be supportive At the end of the day the impact in a business is created daily and I have never heard anything that felt that their board meetings, where truly transformative. Ensure you have the best possible people to get feedback on strategy & aim for the maximum output, but… Also remember to have fun 🏎️ This builds a stronger relationship making it easier and better to use the board members between the meetings, which is where the actual value is created 💸 (Picture is from our go cart session at the last board meeting - sadly the 3 ligthest people made the podium 😉) These were a few tips based on my experiences, but I am but no mean an expert, so would love to hear you: How do you maximise the value of your investors & board members inside & outside the board room? 🤔

Just in! Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay, Axel Johnson (part owner and collaborator with us at Mitt Liv AB (svb)) has released findings from their latest research project on DEI. Building on our previous work in Inclusive Recruitment—which focused on the screening and hiring stages—they have pushed forward and looked deeper into the area of inclusive onboarding. The report will be published in English soon, and in the meantime I’ve tried to translate the key findings quickly for you here: The research outlines 10 key practices across three focus areas that are essential for fostering inclusion from day one, ensuring new hires feel valued and supported as they integrate into the workplace. The study highlights how early actions like tailored support, mentorship, and feedback can significantly reduce stress and promote psychological safety. With these practices, new employees can quickly integrate, feel empowered, and contribute meaningfully from the start, benefiting both individuals and the organisation. See the three areas and 10 key practise in the comments below! Hats of to Nasim Khosravi and team for more amazing work!

Does marketing and brand matter when you are fighting financial crime? The answer is.... (drum roll in the background) Yes! A trustworthy and relatable brand makes all the difference. Sanja Gabler from Trapets and I had a lunch to inspire one another. She had a couple of success factor to ensure brand success that I can share with you: - Ensure that you invest in creating a strong organisational culture. - Setup strong project management essentials to be able to focus on the most trust building scopes, targets and make sure you have enough budget and time to deliver. - Never lose the experimental mindset, to keep evolving your brand as the company grows and the market evolves. In the end. How your existing and potential customers perceive your brand will tell you what kind of “brandimal” you are, not your brand manual, even though that can help you make it happen. #brand #branding #cmo #banking #fintech #financecrime #aml #saas

Please talk to me. I recently spoke at the excellent EFF-day hosted by Sweden’s Advertisers Association, discussing the evolving role of the marketing department. During my talk, I joked about the fact that many working in marketing today can’t even name the 4 Ps—product, price, place, and promotion. Afterward, people told me that even in this esteemed audience people were whispering, “What are the 4 Ps?” It’s clear that, for many, marketing has become synonymous with promotions. Only. And I get it! If you’ve started your career in a digital role, where your success is measured by metrics specific to your function, why would you bother with the bigger picture? But eventually, that broader perspective will catch up. Even the most brilliant tactics won’t drive results if the product is priced wrong, targeted at the wrong audience, or has the wrong features. Sooner or later, you’ll need to engage with the full picture. And as is often the case, talented individuals rise into leadership roles, where bigger decisions await. I want to understand how we can better support the next generation of marketing leaders. So, I’m looking to connect with: Young marketers, ideally under 30 With a few years of experience in the field Skilled at what you do, but who haven’t focused much on extended education. Let’s talk, exchange insights, and share experiences. I just want to understand how marketing looks from your perspective. Is this you, or do you know someone who fits the bill? My inbox is open.

🎯 Keys to Success: Energy and Perspective 🎯   A big thank you to Essity for trusting us to contribute to your journey, and an extra thank you to Hazel Villarreal for giving us the opportunity to work together. We at LENZO Development and Johan Ohlson are grateful for the opportunity and enjoyed the experience! 💡🙌   Two factors that often determine our success in self-leadership, helping us create better conditions for ourselves at work, leading to joy, work-life balance, and, ultimately, better results:   1️⃣ Create Energy Balance – Build a routine for recharging your energy. Too often, this is seen as a reward once everything else is done and is deprioritized when things get busy. Instead, we need to shift our mindset and view it as a prerequisite to having something to give to everything else we need to do.   2️⃣ Work on Our Mindset – We may not always be able to control a situation or what happens, but we can always control how we respond to it.   Contact us if you, too, want to equip your team with tools to boost their work-life balance, handle challenging situations, and achieve better performance! Let’s continue creating success, for ourselves and each other! 💪   #WorkLifeBalance #EnergyBalance #SelfLeadership
