Sustainable leadership – training and coaching with Karin Otterbjörk

Effective leadership today and in the workplace of tomorrow is built on a foundation of resilient, sustainable leadership

A modern, effective leader needs a high degree of self-awareness to respond to what is happening in the organisation and to the needs of their employees. It is about leading in a way that lets others be their best selves – and creating an environment where both people and results can flourish.

In a world defined by rapid change and uncertainty, the need grows for leaders who are secure in their values, able to stay present and build strong relationships, while still providing direction and structure. Conscious leadership means understanding your own reactions, behaviour and impact – and using that understanding to strengthen both yourself and others.

But sustainable leadership is also about you as a leader. Succeeding in today's working life means knowing how to become your best self – both here and now, and over time. You need tools and habits that give you the energy, motivation and ability to lead in a working life where pace, complexity and expectations are constantly shifting.

In the training programme Palla Trycket – Leading Yourself and Others, you develop three key parts of sustainable, modern leadership:

  • Becoming a sustainable leader
  • Using leadership behaviours that lower stress and increase engagement
  • Building self-leadership among your employees

As a participant, you will also strengthen your mental stamina, develop strategies for keeping focus and energy when the pressure rises, and find a more sustainable way to prioritise, recover and regulate yourself day to day. In short – you build a leadership that lasts, even as the world around you changes fast.

Tailored leadership training – built on awareness of your needs and gaps

You build conscious leadership by first mapping out what is missing and what is needed.

Together with Karin, you build a leadership toolbox that takes you from where you are today to where you need to be to meet your goals and challenges.

The training is tailored to your organisation – new leaders, experienced leaders with development needs, or a mixed group where you want to make sure everyone has the same leadership foundation.

  • Feedback – Develop employees through continuous feedback
  • Motivation – Create the conditions for highly motivated employees
  • Goals and direction – Where we are heading, short- and long-term direction, our vision
  • Communication – Getting your message across as a leader
  • Building teams – Developing your team into a high-performing one
  • Presentation skills – Clear and motivating presentations
  • Focus and effectiveness – Making an impact
  • Coaching leadership – Motivated and satisfied employees
  • Leading yourself as a manager – Leadership starts with me
  • Situational leadership – Meet each employee where they are

Last autumn, the management team at Berghs launched a leadership initiative for the whole organisation, with optional tracks such as personal leadership, project management, sprint and toolbox. We chose to work with Karin to give our leaders the chance to grow their leadership skills by building their own personal "toolbox" of leadership tools. Our leadership group has varying levels of seniority, so the format was to try out and discuss how different models can support your leadership.

The aim was to create a shared frame of reference, with every leader building their own personal toolbox of leadership tools. Karin is an experienced leadership consultant who guided us through models, conversations and practical examples. She is perceptive and makes everyone feel included. My team and I all warmly recommend her for leadership engagements!

Karin is inspiring and knowledgeable. The best part is that she has been a manager herself and truly understands what it takes to work sustainably with employees.

Sustainable leadership – coaching with Karin Otterbjörk

Sometimes leadership coaching is a better fit than training. Karin is often engaged when someone is new to management, when an experienced manager needs a sounding board, or when a manager wants to fill out their toolbox or update it with modern leadership tools.

Karin can also act as a mentor, bringing her full toolbox to every conversation with you. Perfect if you feel stuck in old patterns or find it hard to see the way forward.

Coaching accelerates your forward momentum and self-awareness – taking you from where you are now to where you want to be, through a journey of insight toward a goal that may go beyond what you thought possible.
