Leadership culture in the Nordics is predominantly structured and linear, and bringing more space into it would be beneficial. And what I mean by bringing more space is this space of not knowing, this space of curiosity, and this space where we ask one follow-up question instead of just knowing or answering or solving. That space could create an amazing opportunity for learning, for diverse opinions, and really hearing about weak signals that could really benefit the company as a whole, but also help leaders understand what is blocking our individuals and teams from flourishing.

Be yourself. Believe that your practical experience is a strength, not a problem, even if your environment makes you think it is something you should erase. Combine your experience from psychology, art, and business already at the beginning, when you have your first inspiration to do it. Don’t wait years until you have ‘permission’ to fully connect those experiences.
