Inspirational speaker
I have been speaking in front of large audiences in various international conferences and at events in several countries over the years. Invitations have followed one after another. In places such as the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Austria, France etc.
I have always felt right at home in different situations and places. Sky is the limit when you remain authentic and encourage people for creative ways of thinking.
My coaching often includes inspiration to help think of ways to do great things. My audiences have had corporate designers, individual artists as well as top-tier business to business industry executives and decision makers seeking inspiration, business growth, nature preservation or other improvement. Creative thinking allows for new opportunities by utilising both common knowledge, proven concepts and innovative practises, and just plain fun! Outside-the-box thinking.
My audience in Dubai UITP World Congress consisted of over 400 decision makers, government officials and business executives from around the globe. And, of course, I started my speech with a few words in local language to greet everyone and got everyone participating from the start. I am there for you.
My unique skill and gift is to always look for win-win scenarios where everybody could benefit. For example new infrastructural plans could be created in alignment with conserving nature. Often my task is just to help inspire and motivate in simply using proven concepts or finding new and more innovative solutions. I do my coaching by empowering staff or individuals. This method works with students and executives alike. I wish to see the audience shine, each individual, with their own ideas coming alight!
Positive inspiration as well as optimism is an often an underrated force for great results. When you think about anything: whatever we do, it will have an impact. So, we might as well be making a good one!
We decide what kind of life we wish to build and live in.
You know your business, I can be there to help. Let's find the obvious that nobody could see, or something completely new.
AWARD WINNER
First ever award might have been when I won a skiing competition as a young child! I think I got a tiny medal and more importantly there was a stack of comic books. The comics meant more than the award...
However my first artistic award was for my computer animation of a story based on garden creatures such as snails. It was so much fun! It was called Magic Garden and it won First Place Awards. First statewide, then nationwide and an international First Place Award (college level) in USA. I got to fly from Miami to Los Angeles to receive the award on stage in a ceremony.
This was whilst I still studied Commercial Art before graduating.
I have been also awarded the title of the Volunteer of the Year for a humane society HESY ry for improving their brand including brochures and magazine layouts and volunteering for years on my weekends art directing, designing and laying out magazines plus drawing mobile phone logos etc.
I have also been one group member for a branding award of "Vuodet Huiput" (Silver Award) by Grafia for City of Helsinki's total brand renewal, amongst others.
You do your thing and sometimes someone else sees it too. Even though, if you really think about it: good design is often unseen, it is just present there, helping you and guiding you in what ever you are doing. Even making you happy along the way. And that in itself is more than enough!
