Voices on shadow training

"I think one of the great benefits of being involved in this process for a long time is that I have seen things in myself and in my leadership that have become clear to me, which have not really been clear to me before. It has been very good and useful to take forward."
- Carina Håkansson, board member of SCA, AFRY and Vasaloppet and chair of IVA's Division VIII.

"It has been a very useful tool. It's quite nice for people to realize that it's ok to have those dark sides too. [...] For me, it has been a way to get a clearer, bigger picture of myself, and helped me to share that picture with others."
- Mattias Kanold, Head of Talent Management.

"This work gives me a broader palette and it makes me more secure and I get access to more qualities that strengthen me both as a private person and in my leadership. And a higher tolerance for so much too, because everything has two sides."
- Astrid Westfeldt Corneman, CEO Nackademin

"The work with the shadow theory has allowed me to see in my team that people are different and must be allowed to be so, and that it is I who must relate to how I behave towards those who require and need completely different types of input and output from me."
- Ulrika Dieroff, Head of Business Services at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Southern Sweden

"Ann is absolutely fantastic here, because she playfully brings out the worst in us and makes it not feel so bad. Afterwards, it feels like we took two steps forward in being a team in what we want to achieve. Specifically, we have become much faster at coming to decisions when we have difficult questions and we have better meeting discipline."
- Johan Backman, Director of Market Development, Circle K Sweden

"The biggest advantage for a group to use honey-ghost-trap is actually to get a common language, to see the benefits of everyone's different sides. Here we got a way to see them, know when to use them, also challenge each other and encourage each other to use them at the right time."
- Cecilia Hedqvist, CEO Gasnätet Stockholm AB/COO Värtan Group

"The best thing about Ann is that she is so incredibly insightful, understanding, she... no matter what your challenge is, she always finds an angle that is both helpful and positive in your dilemma, which is a fantastic quality, I think."
- Katrin Dahlström, CEO Ebab Stockholm

Ann is a true professional. She sees, listens and reads the people in the room. And based on where the group is right now, she takes us on an insightful development journey.
- Chris Hester, Chairman of the Board of the Spritmuseum and former County Governor
