This week our lectures focused on organizational learning and leadership...so it only made sense to bring in the former president of Volvo (largest business in Sweden) and Ikea (headquarters in Sweden). Goran Carstedt is his name and he is currently working on the C40 Cities project for the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) http://www.c40cities.org/. Goran (pronounced youron) was very humble despite his incredible success, and listening to him was simply inspiring. What I enjoyed most about his lecture was his core philosophy...he truly believes that if you do what you love then the opportunites will appear. He is certain that if you follow your passion you will find the right way...so long as you are open minded and aware.
What a relief, to hear someone of his status say these things...as my career has somewhat worked that way. I believe that I am here in Sweden studying sustainability for a reason, that a series of events fell into place one after another that ultimately led me here. Where will this experience lead me? I do not have all the answers right now, though I believe there is a path for me (and Joe) and we will visualize it at exactly the right time!
