Topics for Mette Johansson

  • Authentic leadership – Unmasking the powerful leader within
    Authenticity is on every life coach’s lips – but what does it mean? How do we become Authentic Leaders? And why should we care? Mette Johansson will address these highly topical questions in her signature keynote talk.
  • The compelling business case of inclusion (it increases EBIT by 9%p)
    Including people from diverse backgrounds is not only the right moral thing to do. The business case is compelling: it increases EBIT by 9%p. This talk is an absolute must for any company embarking on a journey of inclusion, as well as those who are realising that past efforts have not paid off. It will convince business leaders on all levels that Diversity, Inclusion and Equity is a top business priority.
  • Narratives: the stories that hold women back
    Every organisation has them – stories about women that are given life and truth by being retold over and over again. Based on her upcoming book, this talk will dispel the biggest of these myths by providing real stories, scientific facts, and arguments to stop the narrator in his – or her – tracks.
  • Big small talk 
    A TED-style talk that provides practical advice on how first encounters can lead to meaningful exchanges and build trusted relationships.
  • Cultural intelligence – skilfully navigate mindsets and behaviours in different cultures
    In a slightly provocative and humorous manner, Mette Johansson challenges her audience to adopt a constructive mindset and acquire the skills to work effectively beyond country borders. She combines research from leading scholars in intercultural studies with her more than extensive personal experience, having lived and worked in 11 countries.

I had the privilege of working with Mette for the Asia Insurance Review – First Women Leadership Summit in Singapore. I was the conference producer for the project and she was responsible in moderating one of the panel on: Shaping the Female Leaders of Tomorrow – The Female Revolution is Here – Setting the Standards Right! I was extremely impressed with Mette’s conversational skills and the ability to take control of the panel conversations with ease. I could easily describe her as a dream for every CP to work with – as she makes our job so easy. Delegates described the panel to be engaging and interesting. Thank you Mette for working with me on this project and I cannot wait to work with you again
