Gunnel Ryner - Strengths-based leadership

Keynotes & workshops to bring out the best in you and your organisation!

Most people working with development use a problem-solving approach. They look for problems, errors and shortcomings and think that if we just fix what is bad, things will automatically become great. But that’s not the case – if we simply remove a problem, we will only get to zero, ok. And this isn’t development – it’s damage control.

Do you want real, positive and sustainable development? Do you want to create a workplace characterized by pride, happiness, engagement and creativity, where people perform at their best and reach exceptional results?

Then you have come to the right place! I work with strengths-based development, which means that I focus more on everything you already do well and how you can do even more of it, than on errors, problems and deficits. My keynote speeches, trainings and strengths-based workshops will give you the tools you need to discover and build on your strengths and good practices, and help you perform at the top and get extraordinary results, both as individuals and as an organisation.

Most of my work is based on research in the fields of Positive Psychology and Positive Organisational Science, and on strengths-based approaches like Solutions Focus and Appreciative Inqury (AI). AI is a method for developing individuals, teams and organisations based on what they already do right. By exploring what we do well, we can learn more about which behaviours and actions contribute to success, and create even more success.
