The idea

Ever since my first love in business — the rise of text messaging in the 90s — I've been fascinated by what people can achieve when they are well, self-aware, and well-led. That fascination is the whole of my work: leadership that turns human energy into results that last.

My offering

Six ways to work together
The approach
01

People

I thrive on working with people. Everything starts with what is actually happening for them — not with a framework, and not with a survey result taken at face value.

02

Leadership

Leadership is always contextual, and it is moving from an individual-centered approach to a collective one. We look at your leadership system, then co-create the interventions that fit it.

03

Creativity

I apply learnings from positive psychology, logotherapy, and coaching — in workshops, keynotes and one-to-one work — so that growth is something people choose rather than receive.

About Pekka

People. Leadership. Creativity.

That fascination has taken me from nearly 20 years at Nokia to entrepreneurship at 925 Design, to serving as a business leader and coach at Hintsa Performance — and now, once again, to entrepreneurship. I inspire people through workshops and keynotes, and apply my learnings from positive psychology, logotherapy, and coaching to help them grow and flourish.

Keynotes

A talk your team will still quote in six months.

Hope is a verb. Breakthrough thinking. As an introvert in working life. A humane working life. Executive's wellbeing. Keynotes and workshops built from running businesses — in Finnish or English.

Start with a conversation, not a proposal.

Thirty minutes, no slides. We'll work out whether this is the right moment — and if it isn't, I'll tell you.
