Det är höstlov och jag borrar lite i ett professionellt dilemma jag upplevt under längre tid. Den gängse affärskulturen bland konsulter är att man skall vara försiktig med att öppna upp sina innersta tankar om det arbete man gör. Men, det är något jag kommit att strunta i allt mer när jag insett att många… Fortsätt läsa Ett professionellt dilemma

Tre år senare
Det är i dagarna tre år sedan jag skrev ett blogginlägg. Mycket har hunnit hända. Jag utbildade mig till gymnasielärare, men blev inte helt klar. Istället fick jag möjlighet att delta på en spännande resa att utveckla stadsdelsområdet Rinkeby-Kista inom Stockholms stad. Men i juni 2017 tog det stopp när min chef och stadsdelsdirektör blev… Fortsätt läsa Tre år senare
Separated from nature
Synchronicity is an interesting phenomenon. I woke up today feeling a little gloomy and tired. After breakfast I found myself revisiting the works of Daniel Quinn. His most famous book is Ishmael – a book I read and decided to import and sell in the bookshop I owned in the first half of the 90’s.… Fortsätt läsa Separated from nature
Professional update
A couple of months have passed since I decided upon a shift in my professional direction. I’d like to share an update of where my process stands. First of all thanks for all the encouragement I’ve been getting. It is both a trilling and slightly scary path I’m treading. Lots of interesting things are coming… Fortsätt läsa Professional update
Moving on
Dear clients, colleagues and business partners, After over 20 years as a consultant and advisor I will be closing down my practice, effective by the end of August. This is not a decision taken in haste. It has marinated in me for some years and only during the Easter holidays did I finalize my decision.… Fortsätt läsa Moving on
Discovering mental models
Over the course of my life I have become ever more aware that our mental models shape how we think, feel and act in all aspects of life. This should come as no surprise to you and is actually a fairly trivial insight. However, this insight has led me on a rather challenging journey to… Fortsätt läsa Discovering mental models
What goes around comes around
The last two weeks have been pretty amazing for me. Lots of exciting things in the making and I have been a little over-whelmed about the relative easiness in moving things ahead. When I reflected upon why I was experiencing this I reached these conclusions. People I interact with respond favorably to the new directions… Fortsätt läsa What goes around comes around
Some personal thoughts about work
In my early thirties I spent a night in intensive care with a suspected heart attack. It later turned out to be a massive stress reaction. I didn't sleep that night. Instead thought about why I was constantly pushing myself to the limit in my work. What was so important that I evidently was prepared… Fortsätt läsa Some personal thoughts about work
On self-reliance
I'm finding that a lot of folks these days are singing the praise of self-reliance and independence, be it countries, companies or individuals. The logic as far as I understand it is that one can stand stronger when crisis hits and one also can avoid the disappointment of others failing to deliver when it is… Fortsätt läsa On self-reliance
Winter walkabout
I've been thinking about it for ages and now I've decided to make it happen. Starting Dec 1 I'll be taking a leave from my work. Why this then? Well, there are few different answers. I'm (hopefully) in mid-life and mid-professional-career. I think it is only reasonable to do a calibration of my direction. But… Fortsätt läsa Winter walkabout
