Back in Sweden after two years in Panama, where I have been developing an international platform of Forum Rhetorica and, together with JuliAnne Murphy at London & Regional, the first network of professional women in Panama.

My vision is to see rhetorical competence recognized as a core value at the very base of our working life. This would make our working environment more healthy and stimulating by improving our relations. Which would certainly improve the results.
Not only in our professional lives.
