Speaking
TALKS & WORKSHOPS TO MORE HEART AND SOUL IN BUSINESS
Available for keynotes, talks, workshops and panels
I help organizations to shift unhelpful dynamics into more productive and life-affirming ways of working. While I offer longer-term consulting engagements and organizational constellations for deeper explorations, starting out with a talk or a workshop can help to plant several seeds of change.
My talks and workshops are both easy to grasp yet challenge unquestioned truths. Participants leave feeling like they have been provoked into new perspectives and new action. Given my multi-disciplinary background, I bridge the psychological and philosophical with the practical, allowing people to leave emotionally touched and tangibly inspired.

TALK & WORKSHOP
Relationality:
From Transactional to Relational Leadership
Learn principles and practices for living, leading, and interacting with more relational awareness, attunement and presence.
Most organizational communication is transactional: we treat other people as a means to end, always trying to get something out of the interaction. Based on my book On Relationality, in this talk I provide deceptively simple tools your team can use to relate in more meaningful and humane ways. Participants will learn:
A simple yet effective framework for noticing your relational stance in any interaction, inspired by the ideas of philosopher Martin Buber and neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist
Exercises to become aware of how you relate and how you can shift your relational stance in the moment
Practices for becoming more attuned to the relational space in leadership and the rest of life
TALK & WORKSHOP
Regenerative Leadership:
Creating Conditions for Life to Thrive
Understand what it means to be more than just “sustainable” – learn what it takes to be a leader that creates conditions for life to thrive.
The days of increasing profit for the sake of it are over. Stakeholders are calling for a radical shift in how business is done. Luckily, we don’t need to look far for other more appropriate models to learn from.
Drawing on principles of regenerative agriculture, which I practice on our farm Allsta Gård, you will learn what it takes to help systems regenerate and thrive over time. In this talk participants will learn:
The principles of regenerative agriculture and how they can be applied to leadership and organizational culture
Exercises to recognize what brings you and your team alive – and what gets in your way
Practices for supporting inner and outer regeneration

How to recognize trauma in yourself and your team
How leaders can become vehicles for trauma integration without being therapists
Practices for noticing signs of trauma and how to address it non-clinically with precision and care
