Podcast: Chief Change Officer
Published On: Thu Feb 06 2025
Description: Part One. Change is inevitable, but doing it well? That’s another story. Nellie Wartoft has spent years helping leaders across Europe, Asia, and now the U.S. figure it out. As the founder of Tiger Hall, she’s built a tech-powered playbook for making change work. In this two-part series, we’ll talk about cross-cultural leadership, why change efforts so often crash and burn, and how to make sure yours doesn’t. Key Highlights of Our Interview More Cows Than People: The Swedish Small-Town Origin Story “Growing up in a small village in southern Sweden—population: lots of cows, not many humans—instilled an early drive to explore bigger horizons. For professional and cultural reasons, leaving was a must.” The McDonald’s Effect: Discovering Professional Passions “The guest credits their time flipping burgers at McDonald’s as a pivotal moment in shaping their career. It was there they discovered their love for three key elements: a high-paced environment, the thrill of commercial success, and the art of leadership. These ‘professional addictions’ would become the foundation of every role they pursued.” Resilience and Identity: Anchoring Yourself Beyond Titles “Basing your identity on external factors like job titles or status is a risky game—what happens if they’re taken away? Instead, ground your sense of self in unshakable traits: hard work, learning, good intentions, or resilience. These are constants, no matter what life throws your way.” Life of Adventure vs. Life of Leisure “Challenging societal norms, the guest recounts a thought-provoking quote: ‘A life of leisure is hell, and a life of adventure and purpose is heaven.’ From childhood, we’re often told to seek rest and relaxation, but the guest argues that purpose and adventure are what truly give life meaning.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Nellie Wartoft --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously.
