Overwhelmed, grateful, inspired and in a stew!

Sitting in the SJ lounge waiting for my train back home after three beautiful days at the IDG summit 2023. Scared by the crass truth about climate change. Touched by international speakers. Happy for meetings with people I never thought I’d sit down and talk to and inspired to work with a brilliant framework for inner development. Big words? Yes, and let me explain how this also might relate to you.

Most people have heard of the SDG’s – The UN’s 17 sustainable development goals. A large portion of innovation and technological development is needed to move our society towards these goals, but that will not be enough. We also need a mindshift. We need inner growth for this outer change. This is where the IDG’s – the Inner Development Goals – come in play.

About two years ago, I stumbled across the IDG’s during a training with Thomas Jordan. I looked deeper into it and felt this supported my believes in what we need to develop for a sustainable worklife. My biggest why.

The IDG’s describe 23 skills that help us house complexity and global climate challenges They are structured into 5 topics – being, thinking, relating, collaborating and acting. These five words beautifully correlated to what I strive to bring into my work with leadership development and organizational transformation. 

These last days, I’ve been fully convinced that I’m on the right track. If we meet to address a challenge within your business, this will be my scaffolding. So if it sounds interesting or if you’re curious, please reach out!

And do you remember the Leadership Retreat I did a couple of years ago with my friend and armorer Siri Wikander in Fulufjället National Park? Next year we will do it again in Store Mosse National Park. More information will be sent out soon!

I work with people driven business development. Simply because I want to give momentum to the right kind of transformation. The transformation coming from vertical development that creates a better world for current and coming generations. I strive for trust, happiness and freedom in all collaborations and co-creations.

Afterworkshop – a pay it forward initiative!

It takes 10 000 hours to be an expert at something. Or at least so they say. I haven’t counted my hours within Talent Acquisition, Recruitment and Employer Branding, but after about ten years as a consultant within these scopes, I hope I have gained some knowledge – that I’ve found use for at Afterworkshop.
