Björn Axel Söderström is one of WVI in Lund alumni and currently working as Junior Associate at McKinsey & Company. He had been involved in WVI in Lund since 2014.

Why did he think his experience in WVI matter and what did he get out of it?

"Through WVI I learned leadership. I was put in many challenging situations, and from them, I came out stronger. The ability to lead people, and to build and manage an organization, has prepared me very well for a career in management consulting.

The biggest impact WVI has had on my career is through helping me understand others at a fundamental level. I have gained the tools and theory needed to connect more deeply and authentically with people. Leadership is a lot of things - but at the core, it is about connection, and WVI has taught me how to lead from a center of values that build and maintain these strong, authentic connections."

JOIN AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING YOUR LEADERSHIP, TODAY!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

World Values Initiative Lund is now recruiting!

We are part of a national and growing organization working with leadership among students and young professionals. We are dedicated to helping people develop their leadership. We focus especially on self-leadership - the art and science of knowing, managing and developing yourself.

► WHO WE ARE ◄
We are based on ideas of non-normativity. This means that we encourage everyone to find and live their own unique identity. This is a core component of self-leadership - research shows that being well grounded in your identity, sticking to your principles and values, leads to better leadership for others too. We do our utmost to invite everyone who joins us in our workshops to explore their own identity and self-image so that they may develop.

We are mainly students and some young professionals who are passionate about authenticity, leadership, and personal development. Our members came from all kinds of backgrounds, ethnicities, nations, areas of studies, and professions and everyone is welcome to apply!

► WHAT WE DO ◄
In order to create an impact on society, externally, we arrange events such as workshops and educations in self-leadership and personal growth. Examples include Happiness, Grit, Values, Stress, Strengths, Motivation, and Growth Mindset. We also arrange leadership training programs for student organizations such as student unions and nations. Internally, we have internal educations and training to develop members' knowledge and improve their professional and personal experiences as well as a lot of social hangouts.

► WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN ◄
We require a lot from you - but you get a lot too. We require you to join with all yourself, with your passions, strengths, and flaws. We require that you are driven enough to pursue your own initiatives, of course with the support of the organization and that you are not afraid of a real challenge.

What you get for all that is tremendous autonomy to pursue your own initiatives and opportunities for personal growth. We are passionate about leadership - and there are none we can help develop as much as our own members.
You will be part of a unique group of individuals that are passionate about leadership and development, that loves hanging out and discussing interesting and challenging topics. You also become part of a national network of similar students and young professionals that can provide the perfect boost to your career.
An opportunity to enrich your CV and professional experience through our experiential leadership development that will be beneficial for your future career.
Last but not least, you get to help us have an impact on the world. Help us create a better world through more sustainable leadership, today!

"After doing the workshop on GRIT last year, my way of understanding passion changed. I thought of it more as a fire before - but now I see it more like a river. It is unyielding. Passion doesn't come sudden and then fade - that is just a crush. Passion is enduring.

"I have been active in WVI Lund for four years now. It is my passion for growth and personal development that drives me. There are always so many new interesting topics to discuss, so much to learn, and so much wisdom and insight to spread.

"Through WVI, I can live my value passion - and I hope that you can too!" - Björn Axel Söderström, Head of Talent Management

Workshops | World Values Initiative - Lund - Grit 18/11/2017

Our workshop on Grit was a delight! We have put together some of the material we covered in the workshop on a website for you to view. Check it out!

"When you look into people's eyes, sometimes, it's like someone flipped a switch: the light just turns on. They get excited and start talking. When you help someone find something like that within themselves, it is a really powerful experience."

"Everyone is a leader. That's a fact. We all have to lead our own lives, no one else can do that for you. Doesn't mean it's easy though. Through leading both myself and others within WVI I have learned a lot about what leadership means to me and how I can best lead. Or at least it's an exciting beginning of that journey!"

"One of the best things with being a member is that you are free to create your own projects. That requires some effort of course, and you need to know what you are doing, but WVI always supports you."

28/09/2017

Last week of recruitment! We are looking for new members hungry for personal growth and having a positive impact on the world!

Are you interested in leadership, personal growth, creating your own projects and teams, or in having an impact? Apply today!

Name: Björn Axel Söderström
Joined in: 2014
Core values: Growth - Mentoring - Authenticity

“Being a part of World Values Initiative has been a transformative experience for me. I have always been very confident and believed in myself, but now I feel like there is a very clear purpose in my life that was previously missing. This purpose is to make the world a better place, both on a small, personal level and on a big, societal level. I want to be the best version of myself so that I can have an as big and positive impact as possible on everyone around me, directly and indirectly. Through my engagement I have found theories and models that have helped me make sense of my own thoughts and beliefs, which has helped grow and develop into the leader I am today. I am certain that life really comes down to knowing who you are and knowing what you are passionate about, then all you have to do is be yourself and follow that passion. To me, that is what WVI is about.”
