WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Graham Grant, Head og collection & fraud, National Australia
- Having met Benja it is easy to see how she has achieved so much by influence alone. She clearly has a strong intellect coupled with a passion for fairness and an equal opportunity to succeed, but she combines these qualities with great listening skills, a wealth of practical knowledge and experience and considerable personal charm. It was a delight to watch her debate with my colleagues and see them begin to understand how each of us can create the change we want to see"

Sue Sjuve, boardmember, National Australia Group
- Benja Fagerland presented to an audience of highly successful businesswomen in the UK what can only be classed as a very inspirational speech that was highly professional, benefitial, informative, enlightening and entertaining In terms of a main speaker - Benja will more than surpass your expectations and leave the audience wondering whether they themselves are actually fulfilling all their own potential. She hit’s the nail on the head in the politest of ways, leaves the audiences rubbing it, but appreciating the whole presentation. Benjas epitomises a woman who has not let any barriers hold her back, she’s studied each of the obstacle's carefully infront of her and learnt the best way to get round them. She is a true inspiration to women of all levels of business, but to those at the top, she exemplies all that lies within them too.

Heather Jackson, Founder, The Two Percent Club
The members of the 2% Club in Yorkshire (UK) who were at the launch of this new initiative, were inspired by the presence of Benja Stig Fagerland, who has done so much work in getting recognition for women in the boardroom, and was inspirational in her speech, to both the audience and to the ongoing UK press interest. Her success in having championed this cause in Finland has motivated us all within the Yorkshire region to pursue our aims and encourage female engagement at all levels.

LINDA POLLARD OBE JP DL, CHAIRMAN OF 2% CLUB
"På seminaret Kvinner i Telekom, holdt Benja Stig Fagerland et inspirerende foredrag om hvordan vi kvinner sier "Farvel til flinkeskolen". Foredraget hennes var høyst aktuelt og verdifullt for oss kvinner som til daglig lever i en mannsdominert bransje. Hun ga oss mange tips og råd til ettertanke om hvordan vi kvinner kan komme oss bort fra "flink pike" syndromet, og fikk meget gode tilbakemeldinger på evalueringen fra deltakerene

Hanne Gudbjørgsrud, Senior prosjektleder Confex Norge ASGroup
- I had the privaledge of attending a discussion with Benja on talent and diversity. Benja's deep insights on developing female talent provides greater clarity on the issue that I have seen from any commentator or academic. She has a fascinating perspective womens socialised perspectives about success that create barriers to succeeding in a western achetypal male corporate culture. Paradoxically, a key source of talent for reinventing the firm is unable to break through the glass ceiling. Challenging women to aspire beyond their perceived limitations, is more than an inspiring message, its a critical message for the modern corporation.
