Facing challenges and expanding our capacity to create the reality and results we truly desire in the workplace environment and beyond require lifelong learning. However, we are each equipped with the innate strength and resilience that can be utilised during tough moments to help us navigate and even exceed what we thought were the boundaries of our capabilities. In Finland, where Valamis was founded, this quality has for centuries been known as sisu and it is the cornerstone of many of the country’s successful companies and individuals.

Sisu is described by Emilia Lahti, Ph.D. candidate pioneering the academic research on sisu, TedX speaker, and the CEO and Founder of Sisu Lab as “extraordinary determination, courage, and resoluteness in the face of extreme adversity. Sisu is an action mindset which enables individuals to see beyond their present limitations and into what might be. To have sisu is to take action against the odds and reach beyond our observed capacities.”

In this webinar CEO of Sisu Lab, Emilia Lahti, and Valamis’ Digital Learning Consultant, Dawn Vieira, to give tips on how to use sisu to inspire determination in your organisation.
