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 with a Purpose
Based on her book about Women and Networking, Katja Iversen gives pointed and practical tips and tricks to women 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 shares honest and humorous examples of her failures and successes, and takes the audience on a journey from which they reappear much better equipped to go and network their way to the top or for changing their communities.
