Helio Talks x Jana Söderberg

Motivation 3.0 – The Art of Sustainable Self-Leadership, in Tune with Your Brain

How can we build motivation, focus and mental resilience that truly last?

Welcome to an inspiring breakfast workshop with Helio member Jana Söderberg, speaker, author and Head of Operations at Motivationslyftet. With a background in business and economics, coaching and therapy, Jana has spent several decades working with motivation, self-leadership, communication and personal sustainability. Today, she gives talks to companies, organisations and schools across Sweden, sharing insights into how a better understanding of the brain can help us create sustainable development, stronger relationships and better conditions for wellbeing and high performance.

Jana is also the author of several acclaimed books, including Stop Comparing Yourself to Others – Dare to Be Yourself, Dare to Be and What I Say, What You Hear – The Art of Connecting. Many may also recognise her voice from Sommar i P1, where she shared her thoughts on perspective, self-awareness and personal development.

This is more than a talk. It is an opportunity to invest in yourself, recharge your energy and get to know more people in the Helio community. Over breakfast, we will come together for an interactive workshop combining research, relatable insights, reflection and practical exercises with conversation, laughter and shared experiences.

Firefighters train before a fire breaks out. Pilots practise emergency procedures before an engine fails. Elite athletes prepare for decisive moments long before competition day. In the same way, mental resilience is not built in the middle of a storm, but before it arrives.

During the morning, we will explore how the brain influences our motivation, focus, habits and ability to manage stress, change and a fast-paced environment. You will gain practical tools and insights to help you create a more sustainable everyday life, both at work and beyond.

During the workshop, you will explore:

✨ How intrinsic motivation and resilience really work
✨ Why the brain responds more strongly to negative stimuli than to positive ones—and how you can use this to your advantage
✨ How we influence one another’s energy more than we realise
✨ The power of focus and why monotasking often outperforms multitasking
✨ How to strengthen your self-leadership by focusing on what you can actually influence
✨ Practical methods for building mental resilience, optimism and confidence in the future
✨ How to create sustainable habits that last even when the pace picks up

This event is a generous initiative from Jana for the Helio community. It is completely free, open to all Helio members and has one simple purpose: to create meaningful connections between people in the building, inspire one another and share knowledge that can make everyday life a little easier, a little more enjoyable and much more sustainable.

Take this opportunity to sit at a new breakfast table, meet other members, discover new perspectives and leave with inspiration, practical tools—and perhaps a few new connections too. 💛
