Leadership keynotes and training that inspire and equip
Looking for a leadership speaker who both engages and delivers practical value? My name is Viktoria Saxby, and I am one of Sweden’s most sought-after speakers on leadership, inclusion and organisational culture.
With assignments for the UN, the World Bank, the Swedish Armed Forces, the Swedish Police and leading companies within finance, tech and life science, I bring the experience and expertise needed to deliver keynotes and training that make a real difference.

Speaker for companies looking to take leadership to the next level
As a corporate speaker for more than 30 years, I combine the latest research with stories and insights drawn from my wide-ranging experience. I have worked with organisations on several continents and across vastly different industries: from global banks and tech companies to pharmaceutical firms and media houses, from industrial companies and forestry to consumer goods and retail. That experience allows me to speak directly to your reality, whatever your industry.
My keynotes are not about sitting and listening passively in an auditorium. They are interactive, inclusive and designed so that every participant walks away with both new knowledge and practical tools. The focus is always on what you as an organisation get out of the keynote, not just on what you hear during it.

Keynotes and training for companies and organisations with lasting impact
A keynote or training for a company or organisation with me is always tailored. Before every assignment, I take the time to understand your specific challenges and goals. The result is a keynote that hits the mark, sparks engagement and gives participants tools they can start implementing the very same day.
Topics span leadership, organisational culture, psychological safety, work environment, change management, communication and trust, values-based work, risk management and sustainable organisations.
I adapt every keynote to your sector and always base the content on the latest research, combined with practical real-world examples. The keynotes are offered both on-site and digitally, so that you can choose the format that works best for you.
Speaker for organisations in the public and international sector
I am also a sought-after speaker for organisations in both the public and international sector. Among my clients on the public side are the Swedish Police, municipalities, government agencies, the courts and universities. Internationally, I have worked with UN agencies such as UNDP, UN Women and UNICEF, as well as with Sida, Save the Children, Plan International and Médecins Sans Frontières.
When you book me as a speaker for your organisation, you get someone who understands the unique conditions that define your sector. I know that the challenges within a government agency differ from those within a tech company, and I always adapt my keynote accordingly.
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.

What you get when you book me for a leadership keynote
Organisations that book a leadership keynote with me report that their leaders become more conscious, that collaboration improves and that a clear will to act emerges. The effects reach far beyond the lecture hall. Stronger leadership leads to a better work environment, greater psychological safety, higher employee engagement and reduced sick leave.
The organisation becomes more attractive as an employer, the brand is strengthened and the ability to reach new customers and markets grows. This is not about ticking a box, but about building something that lasts.
My approach as a speaker
I believe we learn best when we are having fun and feel safe. That is why my keynotes are always interactive and built around creating an inclusive learning environment where everyone feels included. The focus is always on the benefits of inclusion for everyone, not on pointing out shortcomings or creating guilt. Inclusion, diversity and equality are not zero-sum games, they are about making sure everyone’s talents are put to use and that everyone can be themselves. It may sound like a cliché, but with me it becomes a genuine win-win.
The keynotes are always tailored to the specific audience and sector and, of course, based on the latest research. I place great emphasis on creating a learning environment that is both safe and challenging. Participants are given space to reflect, discuss and practise together, which means the knowledge sticks in a completely different way than it would in a traditional lecture.
My work is fundamentally about leadership, organisational culture, work environment, psychological safety, change management, communication, values-based work and sustainable organisations.
