Leader and Cultural Architect

a balancing act

Family Enterprise Future Leaders

Learn to deal with short- and long-term expectations in parallel with the need to make a positive contribution in a societal and global perspective. A world-class management program for those who work in a family enterprise and want to lead their business in the best possible way by standing at the forefront of innovation and sustainability as natural and important elements of operation.

Family companies make up at least 70% of all companies globally. 

Future focused leadership is essential for us as a society to succeed both in the present and future. 

Participants: Current and future leaders working in family businesses. Family and external executives from different family companies and industries are welcome. The program is also available in a tailored format for individual family businesses.

Be part of a holistic learning experience

In this leadership program, you will learn what your main driving force is, what is important to you and what you are passionate about. You will learn about the opportunities you have to create major changes – both in your own life and in the life of others.

The focus of the program is to strengthen you as a leader, and as a human being. If you are going to fill the role of owner and/or manager/executive, you will exponentially benefit from learning to know yourself, your drivers, thought and emotional patterns, and not least - discover your unconscious actions. Through this self-awareness program, you will gain confidence and become self-guided in how you can deal with change and resistance. You will then become curious about others' opinions and competence, as well as dare to facilitate diversity - not only in principle, but also in practice!

You will learn about how you can use your personal commitment, expertise and skills to build trust and influence in the very best way – for yourself, your employees and the family company. This will set a path for you to become a cultural architect, the driver of result creation and show others how different elements affect each other. This applies, for example, to the owners’ strategy, the role of the board and the organization’s ability to turn words into actions.

It is not the strongest who survive, nor the most intelligent. It is those who are the most adaptable to change. The leadership of the future is about the development of the business, but most of all about the manager's ability to renew her or himself.

Becoming an inspiring leader

We will guide you towards becoming a future leader. The one who can take on and build a leadership role with personal commitment and drive. You can do this with existing and/or new business areas for the company, so that both your motivation and your field of knowledge can be used optimally. You will be able to do as the very best: inspire others to change and cultivate value-added action.

Leadership for the future is about inspiring people to deliver their best and fitting it into the owners’ strategy and needs – it starts with you and you can make a difference!

With over two decades of experience working closely with family business owners and next-gen leaders, we have observed that value-based ownership, benefiting owners, companies, and society, begins with introspection. We prioritize helping individuals discover their true selves, their values, beliefs, and the culture they cultivate. We firmly believe that the power lies within each person.

While the world seeks to address challenges through investments and external solutions, we understand that true transformation begins within. 

Our commitment is to focus on people, recognizing that the power to change the world starts with empowering oneself. Through NFO, we strive to create a paradigm shift that places personal growth and individual empowerment at the forefront of sustainable change.

How Mette is building a better working world

I am Building a better working world by being genuine and trusting others, as I have a strong faith that we together will create a better world. By sharing from my own experience, I wish to provide transparency and honesty in the conversations where we all can use ourselves as the basis. This is important when sustainability, innovation and digitalization is on the agenda, and change is required.

I help owners and leaders of family businesses become conscious of their roles, and how they can use this responsibility. I am engaged in helping everyone see that they can succeed, that they both as individuals and groups can make big changes – and for this, I use my experiences from studies within strategic coaching and sustainability.
