Sales is knowing your value, growing your network, asking for help and building long-lasting relationships. This morning we had our sixth go at Freelance Mornings, gathering over 50 freelancers to discuss the art of sales at The Park Södra in Stockholm. With us in the panel we had Moa Bernhardsson from Trib, Petra Sundell from Upbeater.X and future of work entrepreneur Sebastian Martinez.
Future of Work
How can we fuel young girls’ interest in tech?
How can we fuel young girls’ interest in technology? By hands-on experiences and role models.
On International Women’s Day, I had the honor to speak at Girls in Tech Nordics event as a representative for Modda Sörmland. I shared the work Region Sörmland is doing to ger more kids and youth interested in tech through experience based learning and XR (extended reality).
How to find structure and focus as a freelancer
To eat the frog, or not to eat the frog? That is the question. How to find focus and set a structure for your freelance life was the theme when 50+ Stockholm-based freelancers met early this morning for an hour of networking, inspiration and coffee. For the 5th version of Freelance Mornings, Rasmus Solholm and myself were happy to share the stage with focus expert Oskar Eklind and content creator Ulrike Schulz.
Learnings and reflections from 2023
What a full-packed year of learnings, new connections and the exploration of new technologies and methodologies. Being a part of Modda Sörmland, starting Freelance Mornings, looking into new models for regional development with Almost There and also getting to be part of a team at Innocean Worldwide deep-diving into the market for electrical vehicles. Not to forget a continued focus on the future of work through Svenska Nomader, facilitating innovation event with Innovation Pioneers, and being part of moderating, speaking and organizing many other meetups, conferences and event together with different partners and friends.
Upskilling and Reskilling for Freelancers
Write down what a day in your life in five years time will look like. Now, what do you need to get there? That was one of the tips that my freelance colleague and partner Rasmus Solholm shared this morning on how to set a personal upskilling strategy for oneself. Another full house as we hosted our third Freelance Mornings at The Park Södra, this time focusing on upskilling and reskilling for freelancers. The panel consisted of the amazing Katarina Strömberg (Facilitator / Consultant), Johan Åberg (Founder Next State) and Monica Avby-Strahm (LinkedIn).
