Malene Rydahl is a writer, keynote speaker and executive coach. She is specialized in well-being and performance in companies inspired by the Danish leadership model.

Based on her research and extensive corporate experience, Malene exposes how corporations can increase engagement, innovation and performance amongst employees.
