Organiser of workshop for UK government agency on
the business cultures of France, Germany, Spain and Italy
“Vivianne
Näslund has an excellent knowledge not only of the culture of Sweden,
but is able to contrast this with her (also excellent) understanding of
British culture. She is friendly and personable and took the time to build
a relationship with us.. She checked on a number of occasions that her briefing
was meeting our needs (it was). Vivianne made it feel as though we were
talking to a friend.”
Senior British woman executive with major pharmaceutical
company
“Vivianne
Näslund's role was to provide a cross-culture perspective to both teams
by designing and delivering cross-culture workshops, group and individual
coaching, and written guidelines. Her grasp of the Nordic perspective from
a business, organizational, as well as soft-skills human viewpoint often
provided necessary insight to unlock seemingly blocked situations. I can
recommend her as a mature partner in the change management process.”
US lead consultant of change management programme
for major multinational
“Vivianne Näslund shows good knowledge of political, commercial
as well as cultural issues. Very good practical discussions and useful historical
references. Recommend this be expanded to other groups interacting with
multicultural organisations/communities.”
Senior US executive, team seminar, oil exploration
company
“Very
well presented, well-paced and an extremely knowledgeable presenter.”
British Director, UK government agency seminar on
14 European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic)
“Vivianne Näslund recently ran a one-day business culture workshop
for a small number of our directors. The workshop was well-researched, interactive,
flexible and overall I would assess it as very good use of our time. We
were able to dip in and out of different topics as the subject arose. We
covered a lot of ground but Vivianne is very good at going into specific
detail when required. I would certainly have no hesitation in using Vivianne
again either in relation to culture training, or in specific change management
projects.”
Commercial Strategy Director, International Services, UK Logistics company
“I
felt Vivianne was a good trainer as she was easy to listen to and explained
things well.”

my colleagues is an ‘excellent’ for everything – they
obviously had a very enjoyable day!”
British HR Director of US oil company
“Many thanks for your excellent training. We enjoyed it very much
and learned a lot. You’re a very knowledgeable and exciting consultant.”
German senior director of major multinational
“Vivianne Näslund has delivered a series of very effective workshops
for us at a senior level over the last year or so in Britain and France.
All of our work is with large ‘blue-chip’ companies and she
has proved to be very effective in the arena. The fact that she speaks fluent
French in addition to English and Swedish is a great bonus.”
Managing director of British change management consultancy
“The briefing was well prepared and presented in way to meet my tailored
requirements. In addition, the presenter had a wealth of real-life experience
that helped immensely to assist in my situation. I would like further coaching
relating to my cross-cultural needs, preferably with Vivianne as my coach.”
American executive, attending a pre-assignment briefing
“Framför allt vill tacka dig för vår dag med dig.
Otroligt proffsigt av dig och för mig enormt givande. Min man tycker
redan att han haft användning för dina råd på jobbet.
Tänker då främst på vikten av artighet och den "dolda"
kommunikationen. Den information jag fick av dig har varit ovärderlig
och jag tittar då och då i ditt häfte. Tusen tack.”

bonne efficante, mêlant théorie, expérience personelle
et anecdotes. Très bonne qualité, beaucoup d’expérience
– elle invite à la réflexion.”
