Talking points
Being the change we needed to see
How do we change behaviour to actually care for each other?
Drive a prosperous community that can be the change you need to be.
Everybody will have an impact
See unlikely allies as potential for collaboration
The goal is to solve the issue, this needs a business model to be viable, and that means scalable.
Innovation at the edges
Not just the best in the world, the best for the world
Creating entrepreneurs to create change
Sustainable: I don’t really like the world sustainable, because really what is sustainable… does that mean that nothing happens and it’s just sustained?
Success:The scaling program that we did with eight different houses in Europe was a huge success. Â
Superpower: My ability to not give up, I’ve done this for many years now, I’ve been on this rollercoaster and it’s just been going really steep down hill… but somehow we always seem to get up again.
Activist: I grew up with both of my parents as activists, so in some ways yes I have it in my blood. In a present sense, I’ve tried to do it now by creating a framework for others to try and take action.
Challenge: We just launched the SDGhack (Sustainable Development Goal Hack ) our upcoming challenge is developing our role as a creative workspace in stockholm, we are really taking on these sustainability goals.
Motivation: My children, probably my five year old who wakes me up in the morning. Being able to hear their struggles, ideas and creativity… it’s so motivating.
Miracle: I would put women in power, not just an equal power share but a comparable amount of power that men have now. Just flip the imbalance.
Advice: Be yourself, whoever you are meant to be and be transparent about it. Don’t be ashamed if you think differently to others, just embrace it.
