Purpose driven leadership

Companies with purpose at the center grow faster, are more profitable, and have higher workforce and customer satisfaction. And individuals who live with purpose are happier, healthier and more successful. In Katja Iversen’s keynote  “Lead with Purpose and Embrace Your Powers” she hones in on what business leadership of the future looks like, and also how we as individuals can lead and live with purpose – for people, planet and prosperity.

Networking

Based on her 2018 book on networking, Katja Iversen gives pointed and practical tips and tricks to people who want to become better at networking, drawing on her own experience from having worked and networked her way from a small village in rural Denmark to the biggest power stages in the world. She, who has herself been called “the networking queen par excellence”, shares honest and humorous examples of her failures and successes. She takes the audience on a journey from which they reappear much better equipped to go and network their way to the top or to change their communities.

Women in Leadership

In this keynote – under the headline: “When you invest in women, everybody wins” – Katja Iversen speaks to why and how the leadership and equality of girls and women, in all their rich diversity, is a total game changer for individuals, families, societies and economies.
