What has Zen got to do with it? Since founding over five companies, investing in a dozen startups, achieving a couple of exits, and being nominated as one of the TOP 100 most influential people in the Nordics, I have spent my time exploring the truth behind running a business. Can we have a business where people are truly happy & free? How can we get someone to be motivated at work, should we? Can you play the startup game without burning yourself into the ground? These are the questions worth answering, and I have found the answers in surprising initiatives. Gong Fu Tea ceremonies can teach us about group dynamics and connection to others. Teal & Sociocracy shows us a path to a new type of business hierarchy. Burning Man is inspirational in using communities. Besides these, I also bring Martial Arts, Chess, Stoicism, Zen as well as tried-and-tested startup approaches to innovation. Coaching hundreds of startups using these methods, I have helped raise tens of millions of EURs, created dynamic teams that feel like families, and most importantly - guided founders to have a joyful startup journey with employees who love their jobs. So, if you want your audience to fall in love with what they do, to be inspired to create businesses in a new way, to re-examine their approach to their work-life balance, to find motivation at work, or to improve their relationships with those around them - reach out. What others would call accolades: Formerly CEO of ArcticStartup, Arctic15, Advisor to EU Commission on Startup Europe. Speaker at: TEDx, Slush, Arctic15, The Next Web, Startup Day, Latitude59, Techchill, Touch, and countless more.
