Self-discovery as fieldwork
For the curious.
Your inner world as territory to explore, not a problem to manage. What I’ve found out mapping mine, and some practical ideas for mapping yours.
Keynotes about self-discovery and inner world literacy. Tailor-made for the audience.
Book a talkHow well you understand yourself shows up everywhere. In how you work, how you are with the people you live and work with, whether you like the life you’ve ended up with, and whether you think you have any say in it.
I call this inner world literacy. Knowing what’s going on inside you, and being able to do something about it. I (and science) believe it’s the foundation of living well, and it’s what I talk about on stage.
I also explore what the consequences are of not having inner world literacy, both on an individual and collective level, and why now, more than ever, it’s important to master this skill.
What the event is about, who’ll be in the room, what you’d like them to leave with. Communication, collaboration, leadership, a big change coming, whatever it is, that’s the starting point.
Two or three proper conversations with people inside the company. I want to know what’s going on for them right now, what’s alive and what’s stuck.
Around what I heard, in your context, with your examples — specific enough that people recognise themselves in it.
45 to 60 minutes, in English or Latvian, with a space for questions if you want one.
What a few of the talks might sound like, depending on who’s in the room.

For the transitioning.
I left a corporate job with one suitcase and no plan. Instead, I found out how much of me had been the job. It turned into an identity crisis. What’s left when the title’s gone, and how that becomes the starting point.
For the founders.
Between the algorithm, the investors and the advice, it’s easy to end up building something that isn’t actually yours. How to keep it yours anyway.
