Lena Lindblom
Stockholm
Fellow
Lena is a licensed psychologist and works as
an organisational consultant with particular focus on personal,
team and leadership development. She is also a trained actress.
Lena is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Lena has a long experience of communication development thanks
to her work as both a psychologist and as an actress. Lena has also
worked in the field of stress management as well as crisis and
conflict management for several years.
In recent years Lena has mainly worked with MacMann Berg in
Stockholm, a Scandinavian consultant company. At MMB Lena worked
with a range of firms including Alfa Laval, Danske Bank and
Ericsson and with public bodies including The Swedish National Debt
Office and Stockholm Vatten AB (Stockholm Water).
Previously Lena spent time working for Occupational Health Care
at Previa and Feelgood in Stockholm, two of Sweden's leading health
care companies. During that time she worked closely with the
Swedish Government alongside the Board of Customs and local bodies
such as Karolinska University Hospital. She also worked with Telia
Sonera, IKEA, S:t Eriks Ögonsjukhus, Hewlett Packard and Tech
Data.
As well as undertaking roles in management , Lena has worked in
the field of psychology and open psychiatry.
Lena has also spent time working as an actress both on stage and
television. She has applied this experience to business by
developing an interactive theatre model which addresses workplace
conflict with the intention of improving collaboration.
In both her psychological and consultancy work, Lena has
undertaken leadership coaching and leadership development to bring
about positive change. She subscribes to the belief that it is
vital to find inner motivation - as a key to deeper self- knowledge
and personal development. She creates tailor-made programmes using
interactive models and role play to enable participants to develop
their skills.
During her work within the Occupational Health Care system, Lena
also recognized the distinct correlation between personal
leadership and good health among employees. Developing techniques
to simultaneously improve employee health and efficiency have since
become vital to Lena.
