From ideas to conversation

I speak about how worldviews, assumptions and dominant narratives shape our understanding of change - and the futures we imagine and create. Explore my speaking topics below!

Alongside keynotes and collaborations in projects, I welcome podcast invitations, panel discussions and editorial collaborations. Talks can also be followed by a facilitated discussion or workshop.

Based in the Nordic Arctic, I speak internationally in English, Finnish and Swedish

Speaking themes

Combining futures research, systems thinking and experiences across cultures, I invite audiences to question familiar explanations, see connections and explore possibilities beyond the obvious.

What if our thinking hasn’t caught up with the world?

01

For business leaders, entrepreneurs and boards

What counts as progress? What makes a business successful? And who decides which futures are realistic?

Having lived and worked across cultures, I have repeatedly discovered that what feels self-evident in one place can look very different elsewhere. The same applies to business: our strategies carry beliefs about people, value and the future that we may never have consciously chosen.

Drawing on futures research and these experiences, I explore how worldviews and dominant narratives shape the possibilities leaders see, and what might become possible when we question them.


A world in transformation - what does the Arctic North reveal?

02

For policymakers, regional leaders and international audiences

Global shifts meet in the Arctic: geopolitics, climate change, resource demands and competing visions of development. How do these forces interact, and what do they mean for the people and places experiencing them?

Looking at change from within the North, this talk challenges assumptions about progress and asks whose perspectives shape the futures we are building.
