Leadership in change
Leading through change takes more than a good strategy on paper. It takes leaders who can create safety, build trust and bring the whole organisation along. I’m Viktoria Saxby, and I offer training in areas such as change management and inclusive leadership for organisations facing new challenges in a rapidly changing world.
With experience from the UN, the World Bank, the Swedish Armed Forces, the Swedish Police and leading Swedish companies, I have helped hundreds of leaders navigate change successfully.

Change management training for today’s reality
In a world shaped by polarisation, digitalisation and rapid shifts, change management has become one of the most essential competencies for every leader. My change management training gives you the tools to understand why change so often meets resistance and how you, as a leader, can turn that resistance into engagement and forward momentum.
Instead of generic models, you get strategies adapted to your specific situation, sector and organisational culture. The training is built on the latest research and translated into practical actions that work on a Monday morning. Whether you are an executive team leading a strategic transformation or operational managers in need of everyday tools, the content is tailored to your particular circumstances.
Typical challenges that organisations seek help with include weak collaboration during change processes, resistance from employees, difficulties in communicating the purpose of the change, and the need to build a culture that is adaptable and resilient.
CLIENTS SAY

Change management courses for leaders and managers
My change management courses are aimed at both executive teams and operational managers who need to strengthen their ability to lead through change. The course is always tailored and takes into account your industry, your context and the specific challenges you face. I have worked with change management in very different environments: from the Police and the Armed Forces to financial institutions and tech companies, from municipalities and universities to the UN, Sida and Save the Children.
That breadth of experience means I can speak directly to your reality and deliver tools you can actually use. Participants leave the course with both a deeper understanding of change processes and a concrete action plan to implement what they have learned.
Inclusive leadership that creates psychological safety
What does inclusive leadership actually mean, and how do you succeed at it? That is one of the most common questions I get. The answer lies in practical tools that create psychological safety and that engage the whole organisation, the team and every individual employee. Inclusive leadership makes everyday life easier for everyone, not least for the leaders themselves.
When employees feel safe contributing their ideas and perspectives, both innovation capacity and collaboration improve. My method gives you concrete steps to move from theory to action. Participants get to practise situations they recognise from their own working day and leave with tools they can start using straight away. Inclusive leadership is not a trend term but a way of leading that delivers measurable results in the form of a better work environment, greater engagement and an organisation where all talents are put to use.
Inclusion is win/win. This is why;
The success of my blockbuster series Bridgerton has proved the economic sense of prioritizing diversity on screen.
The cast has been lauded for its inclusion, with color-conscious casting rather than color-blind. 82 million people watched the series in the first month.

Change management delivers results on several levels
Organisations that invest in change management and inclusive leadership see results on several levels. Leadership becomes stronger and more conscious. Collaboration improves and psychological safety grows. Employees feel better, sick leave decreases and the organisation becomes more attractive as an employer.
On a strategic level, the ability to manage risk, navigate change and reach new audiences and markets is strengthened. It is about building an organisation that not only survives change but grows through it.
Leading through change with the right support
Leading through change is one of the hardest and most decisive tasks a leader can face. It takes courage, knowledge and the right tools. I work through keynotes, workshops, leadership training, advisory and strategic support to help leaders navigate change with confidence and clarity. My work is always about the practical side: how you actually do it, not just why you should.
With more than 30 years of experience, you walk away with concrete tools you can start using the same day. The change management training and courses are offered both on-site and digitally, tailored entirely to your wishes and circumstances. The topics I work with span leadership, organisational culture, psychological safety, work environment, innovation, communication, values-based work and risk management. Everything is woven together to give you the best possible conditions for succeeding with your change.
