Philosophy
KEEP IT SIMPLE, ENGAGE, AND NEVER BE BORING
After having personally engaging in thousands of professional case stories during the course of a long career, I believe in what I define as “The Grand Unified Theory” of communication. According to this mindset, there is a set of universal principles which can be applied to make communication more effective.
- Strive for simplicity.
- Engage the audience as if you were having a conversation
- Last but not least: never be boring.
As a knowledge worker, I get energized by the force field between the traditional and the brand-new. Or to quote the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf:
“The established is good. The opposition against the established is good.”
”Det bestående är bra. Oppositionen mot det bestående är bra.”
Training modules
During the fall of 2021, I will offer online training in the following subjects. As the target groups are master students, Ph.D. students, and early-career scientists in general, a pay-what-you-want price model will be applied.
