Episode 42

In between and behind the scenes - Enjoying the lack of starstruckness

Did you know that in addition to stage fright and the fear of public speaking, the fear of dealing with authority figures is one of the most common social phobias?

Why does it suddenly feel so scary to approach people when you know them to be some kind of authority or celebrity? And how can not knowing them, because you are new to the area they are known for, lead to the most interesting and fascinating experiences?

Being a beginner and the new kid in the playground can have its' perks, and the lack of any reason to feel starstruck, is one of them.

In this episode I share a couple of examples, one of them involving royalty.

Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge

Geophysicist by formal education, with a background within mobile satellite communication and the oil and gas industry. I did a 180 degree pivot in my career in 2016 and have since then focused all my energy and time to explore how we can have the optimal combination of the three pillars;
a good life - an interesting job - a healthy planet.
I have a strong sense of urgency when it comes to the huge challenges we are facing in the years to come, especially when it comes to climate change, but I strongly believe in the potential in people to step up and do the work when it is really needed.
That time is now.
