2. Who am I?
• Mindset coach, author and inspirational
speaker
• From Finland, lived/worked in 8 countries and
travelled to 50. I love adventure!
• 10 years in management consulting: Deloitte,
Boxwood and KPMG with specialty in
transformation in the fashion/luxury industry
• Professional ballet dancer and yoga
enthusiast
• Tony Robbins Mastery University Graduate
and a huge self-improvement junkie
• Building a tribe for likeminded women and
a brand around myself – I’m talking from a
thought leader point of view!
6. Starting with Why
• Starting with Why starts from the inside
out
• Built on human behavior – talks to the
limbic brain which controls emotions
• Creates a different message – it feels
different (and it’s hard to describe!)
• Will help to differentiate – and there’s no
need to convince of value
• The only way to maintain a lasting
success and have a greater blend of
innovation and flexibility
