Speaking
Mandy Flint and Elisabet Vinberg Hearn are often hired to speak and engage with people at corporate and industry events.
They speak primarily on Winning Teams/Cultures and Future Leadership. They focus on the behaviours and emotional aspects of leadership and teams, how people impact each other and the results of that.
”If you’re looking for real change, focus on behaviours – that’s where transformational change happens”
Subject: Winning Teams/Cultures
We’re all part of some kind of team, sometimes even several teams, when different personalities come together, with different agendas and goals, it can be difficult to make it work. Conflicts, misunderstandings and inefficiencies in teams are common. But there are solutions and sometimes they can be very simple and straightforward, sometimes so simple that we overlook them. Mandy and Elisabet have worked with teams, leaders and organisations all around the world for 20 years and have identified the most common challenges to teamwork and how to solve them.
- How do you build trust?
- How do you overcome conflicts or tensions?
- How do you encourage everyone to share relevant information with each other?
- How do you create engagement?
- How do you create transparency and openness?
- How do you encourage long-term thinking?
- How do you create a team that delivers and is well perceived?
- How do you get a team to manage change effectively?
- How do you get a team working together, all for one and one for all?
- How do you get everyone going in the same direction?

They also keep their eyes steadily on the horizon to see what’s coming next, what will be expected of leaders to be successful in the future? What was needed yesterday is not the same as what’s needed today, or what will be needed tomorrow. Amongst other things there’s a growing expectation of sustainable businesses practices which puts high demands on leaders to manage greater complexity and longer-term thinking than before.
Yes, the speed of change is high, just as it should be. But it also means that the need for leadership development is greater than ever. Leaders need to develop continuously to meet the challenges of the future. This is not a threat, it’s a promise!
Mandy and Elisabet challenge the status quo of leadership and provoke reflection and discussion about what future leaders need to be good at and how to get there, continuously.
”Leadership development can and should be fun. Those who keep an open mind when it comes to development, those who let go of the need to”be right” will prosper in the future”
