Lectures that strengthen family life – and improve work performance

Research clearly shows links between well-being, focus, and productivity

 

What happens at home influences the workday more than we tend to realize. Malin’s lectures highlight the connection between family life and work performance, while supporting employees in creating better conditions for their parenting. The lectures serve two purposes: to inspire, and to encourage reflection.

With a focus on structure, clear communication, and a more proactive approach to everyday leadership at home, family life becomes more manageable. This makes it possible to move from short-term fixes to more sustainable, long-term strategies.

By combining up-to-date research with practical tools, insights are translated into real behavioral change. When life outside of work functions better, the conditions for focus, quality, and consistent performance at work improve.

Supporting employees in their role as parents is not merely a benefit—it is a strategic investment in the company’s human capital.

What characterizes successful leaders, whether at home or at work? This lecture highlights the parallels between parenting and leadership, and how we as leaders inspire others to want to follow us.

Self-awareness is essential to becoming a better leader. Only when we become aware of how our own behavior affects those around us are we willing to change it. How do you want to be perceived, and what are the consequences of your way of leading?

Successful leadership is not only about what the leader does, but also about what the leader gets others to do. Malin explains how we help others move from uncertainty to confidence, dare to make their own decisions and take responsibility.

Children know what they want—the lecture focuses on what they need and how we best can meet those needs. Through stories, you will gain insights and inspiration to create a smoother everyday life with fewer conflicts, including around screen time.

Take aways:

  • What characterized successful leaders, at home and at work?
  • Tips of how you increase your child’s self-esteem and independence
  • Strategies for reducing arguments and improving cooperation at home

 

Life places competing demands on our time and energy—our children, our work, and our relationships. Finding balance between these areas is challenging. To manage it all, we also need to prioritize our own well-being. Research clearly shows that well-being at home is closely linked to performance and success at work.

Malin does not tell you how to balance your life. Instead, she identifies and asks the questions you need to answer to create better balance. She highlights common pitfalls and how to avoid them, but she also shares strategies used by people who feel that they have achieved a good balance. When you learn to take better care of yourself, you also become a role model for those around you.

Set aside time for an inspiring and thought-provoking session where you will learn how prioritization and proactivity can reduce stress and the feeling of never being enough.

In each area, Malin provides concrete tips:

  • Yourself– How do you prioritize your time and take care of your own well-being?
  • Children– They know what they want—but what do they truly need, and how can you meet those needs?
  • Work– How can you stay focused and maximize your impact?
  • Your relationship– What defines healthy communication and effective conflict management?

 

– how to talk so that children listen and listen so that children talk.

Do you want to communicate more clearly? Malin shows you how to communicate in a way that means you won’t have to nag, and instead get children who actually listen. She also explains how you set boundaries in a respectful and kind way and stand firm in your no. The principles do not only apply to parenting, they can also improve your communication with a colleague, customer, or partner.

Malin draws on research in leadership and communication and applies it to everyday interactions with children. Through concrete examples, of both effective and less effective communication, she creates inspiration, recognition and valuable aha moments. She also demonstrates that a large part of successful communication

lies in the proactive work, done before the conversation even begins.

Takeaways:

  • How you get children to listen
  • How you get children to talk
  • The art of saying no

 

-teach your child the art of focus and effective study techniques.

A growing knowledge-based society places ever higher demands on our ability to take in and process information, but also to filter out what is irrelevant. At the same time, the constant flow of information means we are increasingly interrupted in our concentration. This creates a paradox: while the demands for focus are rising, it is becoming more difficult to maintain it.

This lecture addresses the importance of being able to focus, what benefits it brings, and how we can help our children improve their ability. When children learn to focus on what matters and resist distractions, they gain advantages both in their well-being and their schoolwork. They become more efficient, less stressed, and better prepared for the future world of work.

Takeaways:

  • The latest research on the ability to focus
  • Tips on how to strengthen your child’s ability to focus
  • Strategies for more effective study techniques

-make it easy to make the right choices through good conditions

Nudging is about how we easily can pay attention to and change behaviors in a desired direction. The Nobel Price in economy 2017 was awarded Professor Richard Thaler for his ideas about nudging. Now the application is spread to more areas such as health, politics and environment.

During the lecture we get to hear about how the concept of nudging nowadays is applied both in funny and successful ways within many different branches. Malin shows examples of how we can make it easy to make the right choice and a bit harder to make the wrong one. Thereby we can avoid traps of old habits and instead create new more desirable, ones more both for ourselves and for our children. By nudging, instead of rewarding or punishing, we create better conditions for a long-term well-being.
