FEEDBACK FROM A CUSTOMER

MÅNNA'S BACKGROUND

Månna's interest in the impact of corporate culture and ethical leadership on people's well-being and organisational performance arose during her economics studies in economics at Åbo Akademi University, encouraged and challenged by Professor Emeritus Claes Gustafsson. After her studies, a leap into the deep end of the pool as a business leader in a growth company gave her the opportunity to test what she had learned and develop further.

More than ten years later, when Månna wanted to focus on leadership development and coaching, her diverse experience in responsible business roles was a valued background for coaching clients.

Since 2009, coaching has played an important role in Månna's career: individual, team and group coaching, in a variety of industries, situations and organisational levels, in Finnish, Swedish and English.

Since 2018, Månna has been an entrepreneur, a builder of good (work) life, with a belief in human potential as her red thread, and a joy of life as her driver. ❤️

Examples of Månna's recent coaching assignments:

  •  Coaching a new CEO after an international acquisition
  • Coaching of a new COO in the context of an organisational change
  • Coaching of new Executive Vice President after an organisational change
  • Coaching a HiPo talent to grow into the leadership role, with a focus of e.g. interaction in challenging situations, and active inclusiveness in a diverse team
