Highlights from 2023

The year of 2023 has been full of new and exciting things! We welcomed 6 new team members, and grew the team to 14 people. Our founding team also expanded by a baby of my co-founder Klara who left on maternity leave this year. I am super proud of the team for helping with the transition and stepping up into leadership roles, especially Petra, our Head of Program Operations, and Ellen, our Marketing Manager and Martina, our Tech Queen. The shoutout goes to the rest of the team as well, who were able to make all these things happen in 2023. Here are some of our achievements this year!

5 Things First Time Leaders Need to do Differently for Success

Moving into a leadership role is incredibly exciting. It is a testament to all the hard work already accomplished in your career, and the confidence shown in you by leaders of your company. Go you! But, the skills that got you to this point are often not the same ones that will help you flourish in your new role. So many organizations in our world today do not have the tools to teach this, leaving their emerging leaders to learn it on their own, often after they already feel unsupported, frustrated and near burnout. The great news is that you can start implementing these tactics at any point in your career journey and immediately reap the benefits.So, let’s dive in!
