Mari S. Espedal – a cultural explorer, mindset challenger and innovation strategist
I am a true cultural explorer with passion for knowledge, learning and innovative thinking. Owner of p u r i o s i t y and developer of concepts for establishing core values and true authenticity within people and businesses.
I am energized by change and development of new ideas, concepts and strategies to meet future needs.
I am able to stay focused on results with a strong driving force to explore beyond standard mindsets – courageously challenging and advising individuals, teams and corporations to ignite their curiosity and creativity for strategy delivery.
I have the energy to mobilize personal development and teams to deliver on strategies, values and vision – with shared enthusiasm.
I have gained 20 years of international experience in leading global positions within branding, strategic communication, innovation and people development.
I am the proud winner of several awards within strategic branding and innovative communication concepts.
I love to share my experience as Mentor for international business talents and StartUpWeekend.
I have constantly pushed myself above and beyond possibilities to find that everything is possible.
Finally Mr. Kofi Annan arrives in Norway - to do his key note speech during AquaVision 2012 - after 10 months of planning. He was leading the peace negotiations in Syria at the time, but wanted to contribute by sharing his thought on "How to feed 9 billion people in 2050". I picked him up at the airport and we had a pleasant conversation at the hotel afterwards. Again the process outcome left me with the knowing that everything is possible if you just work hard enough and with good intentions. And also the finding that even world leaders can have a great sense of humor!
Now I am ready to share my experience and knowledge delivering advise and consulting within:
Stratups & business development
Communication & branding
Coaching & mentoring
“Everything is possible if you just focus and work hard”
