Ladies, strong and delicate, may there be more reasons for smiles and emotions to dance a joyful jig. Leadership knows no gender. Right? Absolutely! But gentlemen, no offense, if today below a bit more said about women's leadership, ♥️ over the strong, profound, and simultaneously gentle. In recent years, I rejoice with our the best women’s team Unicorn Solutions&Consulting in the evolution of communication and the speed of finding "our people" based on values. 🔸 It's about Trust, Empathy, and Collaboration = the power of unity that launches projects, leads to results, and sparks innovation. 🔸 Diversity (in this, we are champions 😄, as it's in our DNA) = intertwining backgrounds and perspectives = resilience and creativity. 🔸 Fearless Vision, Unwavering Determination = glass ceilings shatter, blocks are already on different levels, but even those... we work on them. 🔸 “Don't sit and tremble over treasures" = Openness = sharing sessions, mentorship, support, and development. Recently, I joined an incredible community Women Leaders For Ukraine of amazing women that aligns with my values💯. More on my role 😉 in the community, our important projects will come later. Women's leadership knows no borders. We weave connections between continents, build bridges, and bring projects to life. My phoenix-like birds, wishing you inspiration and fullness, may there be more reasons for smiles and emotions to dance a joyful jig! #W4U_Empower #W4U_Inspire #W4U_Lead_with_Impact #W4U_Shape_the_Future

✨ Reflecting on my journey as a Woman in Tech ✨ Attending the #TechUpWomenSummit recently gave me the chance to pause and reflect on my personal journey as a woman in tech. Listening to the incredible stories of how companies are empowering women, promoting diversity, and embracing flexibility made me realize how fortunate I’ve been to work in an environment where these values are part of the everyday culture. ✅ Throughout my career, I’ve been trusted with opportunities to grow and lead. The empowerment I’ve experienced wasn’t just about having a seat at the table, but being given the space to thrive, innovate, and make meaningful contributions. Whether through leading projects or shaping team strategies, the support and trust I’ve been given have helped me expand my skills and grow as a leader. ✅ One of the most empowering aspects of my journey has been the realization that leadership isn’t defined by gender, but by passion, drive, and vision. I’ve worked in an environment where your ability to lead is recognized by the value you bring, not who you are. It’s been incredibly inspiring to see how diverse our leadership has become, with both men and women contributing equally to our shared success. ✅ Flexibility has been another key factor in my experience, especially while raising my young children. Being able to adjust my schedule, work remotely, and balance personal responsibilities allowed me to continue pursuing my career without compromising on family time. This level of flexibility not only helped me maintain a work-life balance but also gave me the peace of mind to perform at my best, knowing I had the support to navigate both my professional and personal roles. Looking back, the values discussed at the summit—empowerment, diversity, and flexibility—are not just ideas I’ve encountered in theory but principles I’ve lived through. A special thank you to Tactful for fostering an environment where these values are not only encouraged but embedded in our culture. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of a team that consistently empowers its people to grow, lead, and innovate. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, inspiring change, and empowering each other along the way! #WomenInTech #Leadership #Empowerment #DiversityAndInclusion #FlexibleWork #TechLeadership #Innovation #InclusiveWorkplace #WomenInLeadership #TechCommunity #Tactful

I had the honor of speaking at the #Sheconomy conference hosted at Google, where I joined an incredible group of female business leaders from Norway to discuss the future of AI, the Peace Innovation Lab, and the history of innovation in Silicon Valley. In my talk, I emphasized the importance of avoiding FOMO when adopting new technologies. Drawing from Cal Newport’s Deep Work, I encouraged the audience to take an “Amish approach” to technology—selecting innovations that align with our long-term vision and enhance our lives and organizations. We also discussed the huge financial investment projected in AI for 2025, and how, surprisingly, one of the top use cases identified was writing emails faster. In fact, in the top ten use cases, a cure for cancer and climate change didn't even rank. AI has the potential to help us achieve extraordinary things, yet relegating it to refining existing solutions shows a serious lack of ambition and vision. AI should help us solve previously unsolved problems! We need to aim higher with this transformative technology. While many of these leaders came to Silicon Valley to learn about AI, I believe we, too, have much to learn from Norway and the rest of Europe. They excel at integrating new technologies while staying deeply connected to their history, culture, and values—something that we in Silicon Valley should pay more attention to as we shape the future of technology. After all, shouldn't our tools be in service to us and what we care about? We also had the chance to meet with Benja Stig Fagerland, Frøydis Høgsæt, Eirill Eckbo, and the leadership of #Sheconomy at Stanford, where we had a lively exchange of ideas and experiences on women, STEM, leadership, and systemic change. As Benja Stig Fagerland pointed out, “We don’t need to fix women; we need to fix the system.” The exchange of insights between Silicon Valley and Norway was invaluable, and I’m excited to continue this dialogue around technology, culture, and leadership. #AI #Innovation #Leadership #PeaceTech #WomenInBusiness #Sheconomy #Sustainability #FutureOfWork #STEM #CulturalIntegrity

In the journey of sustainable transformation, involving various stakeholders is key. It's not a task for one person, department, company, or industry—it's a collective effort. With a positive approach, we take one bold step at a time, crafting changes within. Here's to a significant leap forward with our partners. Wishing all a Happy New Year! May 2024 bring steady progress and purposeful strides toward sustainability. #2024goals #sustainability #esg #purposedriven

I wanted to share a little gem from yesterday's Human Dynamic (Philippines) "Aroma to Success" event that really struck a chord with me. Firstly, can I just say how much I adored the vibe of the session? It felt like catching up with friends over coffee, but with that added bonus of gaining some serious insights. Talk about a win-win! One thing that really hit home for me was when Coach Kai Soriano-StaCruz shared her wisdom on perspective. She reminded us that as women leaders or as an individual - rather, our experiences serve as powerful filters, shaping not just how we see the world, but how we can change it. It's a reminder that our unique journeys and perspectives are not only valid but vital in our collective pursuit of success. I mean, think about it. Every interaction, every hurdle, every success—it all adds another layer to our unique perspective. And embracing that perspective can truly be the key to unlocking new opportunities and growth. And hey, if we can do it over a cup of coffee with friends, even better! ☕️ Let's keep those conversations flowing and those perspectives expanding. So, here's to embracing our experiences, learning from them, and using them to shape our journey forward. Cheers to growth and good company! #internationalwomensmonth #internationalwomensday2024 #inclusiveleadership #coffeetalks #coffeetalk

Today, on International Women's Day, I'm reflecting on the incredible journey we're on at Mia - Mission impact academy, and the phenomenal women who make this voyage not just possible but truly remarkable. 🌟 In a world where the tech industry often mirrors a one-sided narrative, I am beyond grateful to be co-creating our vision with inspirational co-founders Tarja Stephens and Janna Salokangas - two trailblazing women whose tenacity, brilliance, and resilience redefine leadership every day. Their empathy and empowerment are not just traits but the very foundation upon which our team thrives. I cannot articulate how lucky I feel to build with women who are constantly cheering me on and looking for ways to uplift and empower each team member. Working in tech, it's rare to see startups helmed by women. Yet here we are, driven by the shared belief that innovation knows no gender. Tarja and Janna are testaments to what women in leadership can achieve, illuminating paths for others and challenging the status quo with grace and determination. 🚀 To all the wonderful women in my life, the amazing team Mia - Mission impact academy, and especially to Tarja Stephens and Janna Salokangas, thank you for your inspiring presence. You are the architects of change, the voices of progress, and the harbingers of a future where diversity in leadership is not an exception but the norm. 🌈 Let's continue championing each other, breaking barriers, and building a world where every woman can see herself reflected in the faces of those leading the charge in tech and beyond. Here's to more women at the helm, more dreams realized, and a community that uplifts every voice. 💖 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech #Leadership #Empowerment #Innovation #DiversityInTech #FemaleFounders #WomenEmpoweringWomen 

Did you know that...💡 We built a platform that connects thousands of creative minds globally, turning passions and skills into collaborative projects that spark innovation? Looking back, we had the privilege to develop an innovative strategy for the kyu Collective—a global community of 22 creative organizations—including ATÖLYE. Our mission was simple: to highlight kyu’s most valuable asset: its people. 🤗 With that in mind, we designed the kyu Graph, a living digital platform that has already mapped 2500+ people and 1000+ projects, spanning over 76 industries and covering close to 500 skills. This dynamic map enables members to visualize connections, uncover insights, and collaborate on shared passions, skills, and ideas. Through kyu Graph, we created new opportunities for engagement—whether through micro-communities focused on women empowerment, JED/DEI, Climate Circles, or exciting collaborative projects across the Collective. 🤝 The platform has since evolved into kyu OS, a comprehensive tool used to map individuals, skills, and projects within the kyu Collective. It’s already sparked 20+ new initiatives and continues to grow, allowing more meaningful interactions and lasting impact. We have just scratched the surface of the potential of this collective; and the kyu OS system is developing day-to-day to improve our interactions to create more value in the long run. 🌱 Michael Birkin, kyu's CEO stated the following about our project: "We were immediately captivated by ATÖLYE’s network mapping tool which is the tool which we have used as the basis for the kyu OS system. This system means more to kyu than simply a mechanism for how we manage ourselves – it is a demonstration of our very culture and approach to networking." 👏 Is your organization interested in mapping its people?

At Avoki we are on a mission to create a world where work flows effortlessly, anytime, anywhere. Imagine a workday with spotless technology. Where logins, file sharing and collaboration happen seamlessly and hassle-free🙏 Technological errors cost time, money, goodwill. It endanger not only the bottom line of an organization but also its branding, culture and identity. Dealing with malfunctioning or poorly-adapted technology is like trying to swim upstream with weights tied to your ankles. It's not just a hassle – it's a passion-killer! At Women In Tech Sweden next week I will share new research on this topic. Can you guess how much time we spend EVERY day on IT-related problems in our daily work?🙈 The question that I am asking myself is how on earth can we still accept the fact that we are slaves under insufficient tech and bad IT? If hope many of you were lucky to get a ticket. If not, I might have an extra ticket for you😉 #WITswe2024
