Business and Pleasure in Åre

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Greatings fellow procrastinater!

It’s been a few eventful days lately. Got back from Åre yesterday morning. The weekend in Åre was great, two days of business, one day of pleasure. Once again I met a lot of interesting people, two of them were Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, former CEO of Tele2 and Göran Hägglund. Both of them were very down to earth, I was especially amazed by Jarnheimer. Cool guy. We manage to get them both to answer a few questions, read more about that shortly at generationen.se.

The skiing was absolutely magnificent. We were very lucky with the weather, it was sunny, almost no wind and -2 degrees, perfect conditions! Here’s a nice pic.

A sunny Åre

Now I have to continue preparing my inspirational speech I’m giving tomorrow at my high school in Nyköping.

Days of Growth in Åre

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

After being skiing in Åre four years in a row I thought this would be the year I would break the streak. But noo. Last week Viktor Nord asked me if I could step in for him as a blogger at Tillväxtdagarna (“Days of growth”) on the behalf of generationen.se. This is my fourth blog post and people are already inviting me to events to blog for them. Good development! Haha. Gonna be lots of fun, two and a half days of mingling, one day of skiing.

Seven (Good) Habits for Entrepreneurs

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

One thing I really love doing is to meet inspiring people. And I have been quite fortunate lately, meeting lots of inspiring people. Yesterday was one of those occasions. I was at a small workshop slash mingle with Young Entrepreneurs of Sweden organised by the member Oskar Henrikson @ Psykologifabriken. The workshop was about seven (good) habits for entrepreneurs.

One of the seven habits were to encourage. Nothing new here, but the exercise really showed how important it is. We managed to encourage one of the participants, Gustav, doing a desired task by only clapping our hands louder when he was getting closer to what we wanted him to do, no speaking was allowed. His only information was that we would give him a task when he entered the room.

Oskar and his friends at Psykologifabriken are really quite unique within their branche, they are loud, creative and outgoing, (and they are entrepreneurs!) not the first things you expect psychologists to be. Thanks for a great workshop!

The Anders Wall Scholarship

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Yesterday was a great day, an awesome day, the day of days; Anders Wall‘s birthday and the price ceremony for the Anders Wall Scholarships. As you might know I was one of the scholars. At the ceremony I met A LOT of interesting people and I was treated like royalty! On top of this I almost nailed my speech of thanks. Good times indeed.

I am very honoured and thankful to Anders Wall for this opportunity I have been given. The scholarship is for 150 000 SEK + an internship at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in London for one year. I will be moving down in May. Really looking forward to! But I’m still looking for a place to stay.

Here’s a picture of me and the ten other scholars together with Anders.
