Description

Sofia Appelgren is the founder of Mitt Liv company, which in translation from Swedish means “my life”. Since 2008, Mitt Liv has worked on the vision of creating an inclusive society and a labor market that values ​​diversity. Today, their primary two target groups are companies and organizations that through concrete solutions want to develop their diversity and inclusion work, as well as academics with a foreign background who have difficulty finding jobs corresponding to their skills in Sweden. 

I found out about Mitt Liv through a common friend, and I've been following their work for almost eight years, and I saw all the journey that this company had to go through, how they grew and what they continue doing, and that’s why I was very thrilled about having this interview. 

In this interview you will hear about:

• Sofia’s story about why she founded Mitt Liv, what they're doing and what they have achieved
• Why followership is the biggest test for leadership
• The importance of cognitive diversity
• Practical tips on how to expand your normal
• Why Diversity and Inclusion are not an HR question, but a leadership one
• The importance of discussing values from an early childhood
