Bio

Norwegian-born Unni Turrettini is a speaker and Human Connection Expert who helps people connect with their source of power so they can feel confident and excited about stepping into transitions. She is also the author of Betraying the Nobel: The Secrets and Corruption behind the Nobel Peace Prize and the award-winning, The Mystery of the Lone Wolf Killer, which examines Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik from both a psychological and sociological perspective and focuses on what we can learn from that tragedy to prevent rampage killings spurred by loneliness.

Unni has appeared on ABC's The List, NTD News, TRT World, GB News, Ticker News, Fox26, CSPAN, The Tedx Stage, The James Altucher Show, BBC, and in The World Today, Authority Magazine, Voice of America, NY Post, The Spectator, LittleThings, WWD, KK, and Ledernytt.

Unni grew up as a global citizen, spending half her life abroad, including the United States, France, and Switzerland before returning to Oslo in 2016. With law degrees from Norway, France, and the United States, she is a member of the New York Bar, and worked in law and finance for nearly a decade before becoming a full-time author, speaker, and facilitator.

THE GREAT RESIGNATION: THE 3 C’S FOR BELONGING AND SUCCESS

According to McKinsey, 40% of workers are considering changing jobs. It’s never been more challenging to keep and engage employees. Part of the reason is we don’t feel connected at work. More than 60% of American adults report that they feel isolated and lonely, costing the US economy $406 billion per year in lost productivity. Europe follows the trend. The consequences are dire: Mental and physical illness, decreased productivity, increased sick leave, and toxic workplaces.

This keynote is designed to inspire leaders and teams to transform the workplace into a community and attractive place to work. There are three elements—the 3 C’s—we all need to plug into our power, feel confident, and experience success, which again impacts the company bottom line.

You get the tools to:
• Attract and retain talent
• Engage your employees
• Become socially sustainable and increase productivity

  • Unni, the author of "Betraying the Nobel: The Secrets and Corruption Behind the Nobel Peace Price" gave a talk at the Harvard Club of Boston this year. She gave an excellent talk about history of the Nobel Prize and the life of Alfred Noble. She is an excellent storyteller. The audience was mesmerized by her story and how the selection of the Nobel Peace Price has evolved over time. I highly recommend her as a speaker to audiences. The Harvard Club is looking forward to having her speak again about her other book, "The Mystery of the Lone Wolf Killer" sometime in the future.
