Maike van den Boom is keynote speaker, Scandinavian expert and media expert for happy companies.

Her clients include non-profit companies, medium-sized businesses, large corporations such as banks and insurance companies as well as numerous family businesses from Germany, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Recently, she cracked the code of happiness and success of the Scandinavians: she shows us success factors of countries that have long been where we want to be in terms of modern working.

Right now, challenges have to be mastered, such as:
– Maintaining the team spirit and the “we” feeling in the company,
– finding a new life balance and keeping stress under control,
– to deal with new leadership tasks, to let go and trust others,
– to learn self-leadership and to take responsibility,
– to create new values and value together

Charming, cheeky and engaging, Maike van den Boom gives you her first-hand knowledge, stories that touch and wisdom that moves you forward.

Her book “Wo geht’s hier zum Glück?” (Fischer-Verlage) was on the SPIEGEL bestseller list for 25 weeks in 2015. But already in 2016 she set off again, this time accompanied by a TV team. For two years, three countries of happiness, 30 companies, 300 people and experts. In 2018, her book “Eight Hours More Happiness” was published. It takes you to the Scandinavians, the happiest and most successful people in Europe. World market leaders and model countries in digitalisation, innovation, sustainability and education systems.
