Her mission is to empower women to be authentic, confident and effective and in doing so help redefine balance at work.
Birgitta realised early on that she feels most accomplished when she can inspire people to believe in themselves and step into their unique power. Their surprise and joy, their ‘aha’ moments, their exhilaration along the way when things finally worked out, give her the greatest fulfillment.

Her insight inspires leaders from all over the world to embrace their diversity and find the confidence to speak out and step up.

Having worked in male dominated environments for most of her career she experienced most if not all of the challenges young professional women face today. What she came to realise is that what made her different actually created a positive impact in the workplace. It was a natural next step to help other women make that impact too.
