You hit the target audience really well. And there was a lot of pleasant conversation later with links to your presentation. The Nordic theme also works in English \u2013 you just did it super and in a way that you won and connected all the audience.\u201d -Gert Pedersen Aamand, Executive Director, Nordic Cattle Genetic Evaluation<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kirsten Weiss explores Nordic and Scandinavian values related to teamwork, leadership and management in Nordic and global organisations and is a widely used keynote speaker in companies with cross-cultural and Nordic teams.<\/p>\n<h2>Working in the Nordics \u2013 Cultural Perspective<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction to Nordic collaborations: Why is awareness of our values and the cultural perspective a key point when we want to collaborate and cooperate \u2013 and become more innovative.<br \/>\n\u201dThem and us\u201d \u2013 knowledge, facts, myths and stereotypes in the Nordic countries. Short introduction to the relevant countries \u2013 with focus on the small but significant differences between us. What does Nordic organization- and leadership style look like compared to other countries? Incl. examples from other companies, expat views etc.<\/li>\n<li>The Nordic brand and leadership style, e.g. innovation, respect for the individual, international perspective, teamwork, low power distance, empowerment, sharing ideas, anti-authority, equality, work life balance etc. Plus the Nordic downside = being so satisfied with ourselves \u2026<\/li>\n<li>Best pieces of advice, e.g. Be curious and clever: Keep an open mind but not an empty head. Use the differences \u2013 instead of turning them into obstacles. Our big chance here being the many shared values \u2013 and the differences to learn from. Don\u2019t blame it all on the culture!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirsten Weiss is an entertaining Danish speaker and the author of several books about cross-cultural teamwork and Scandinavian leadership and management style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3489,"menu_order":1763,"template":"","profile_category":[396,409,408,397,864],"profile_tag":[169,173,125,182],"profile_language":[],"class_list":["post-5514","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-international-speakers","profile_category-diversity-inclusion-international-speaker","profile_category-organisation","profile_category-communication","profile_category-leadership","profile_tag-communication","profile_tag-diversity-inclusion","profile_tag-leadership","profile_tag-organisation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
