Lilly Thérèse Doringer, Senior Manager at Deloitte Sweden: We often strive after perfection, seeking competition and assume certain behavior and traits are just “normal”. But what is actually “normal”, especially in regard to leadership? If you strive after:
-
Challenging the “normal” and want to understand how society has changed regarding leadership.
-
Understanding your strength.
-
Wanting to experience a new mindset.
-
Enhancing your skills of being your authentic self.
-
Balance your private and work-life.
