Krista Koso­nen
näyt­telijä

Puheen­vuorossaan Krista korostaa luovu­u­den ja intu­ition merk­i­tys­tä ihmisen voimavaroina sekä työssä että arjes­sa. Hän puhuu siitä, miten intu­itio voi ohja­ta rohkeisi­in oival­luk­si­in ja luovi­in ratkaisui­hin. Hän innos­taa uskalta­maan kokeil­la uut­ta, hyö­dyn­tämään intu­itio­ta ja usko­maan rohkeasti omaan vais­toon.  

Koso­nen avaa omia koke­muk­si­aan aidosti ja syväl­lis­es­ti myös epäon­nis­tu­mi­sista ja puhuu avoimesti siitä, miten niistä voi oppia ja löytää uuden suun­nan, niin näyt­telijänä kuin mis­sä tahansa amma­tis­sa. Hän puhuu, miten ylläpi­de­tään itse­tun­toa, uskoa tule­vaan ja moti­vaa­tio­ta, vaik­ka työu­ra koos­t­u­isi pätk­istä tai epä­var­muud­es­ta.

“I’m cul­tures & busi­ness ice­break­er! I love to talk and help peo­ple to talk bet­ter (Spe­cial­ly in busi­ness), I believe in the pow­er of effec­tive net­work­ing and emo­tion­al intel­li­gence with­in com­mu­ni­ca­tion. I’m a fam­i­ly man resid­ing in Helsin­ki, invest­ing in some star­tups, stocks, cryp­to, and real estate. I’ve enjoyed entre­pre­neur­ship across dif­fer­ent ver­ti­cals such trav­el­tech, foodtech, renew­able ener­gy, and real estate among oth­ers. I sur­vived two bank­rupt­cies dur­ing the Lehman Broth­ers’ crash, and made a tan­gi­ble impact glob­al­ly!”
