Helping High Achievers Perform Sustainably
For Organisations, Leaders and Overachievers
Why Perfectly Lagom
Today’s work culture celebrates overwork, pushing top performers to breaking point. I’ve been there as a corporate leader—now I help others avoid it.
I founded Perfectly Lagom in 2020. Lagom, which is Swedish for “just the right amount”, is the antidote to toxic hustle. I help individuals and organisations achieve sustainable success by adjusting effort like a dimmer switch: knowing when to push and when to rest. Real excellence isn’t about relentless grind—it’s working smarter. Perfectly Lagom embodies the Swedish philosophy of balance and stands for high performance without burnout.
What I Offer
With 20 years of global leadership experience, I help organisations and executives achieve more by working differently – not harder. My approach blends culture change, leadership development and executive coaching to create high-performing teams that deliver results sustainably. Through strategic advisory, keynotes and trainings, I challenge conventional thinking about self-leadership, team performance and organisational resilience.
The Book
The Edge of Enough is a must-read for those caught in this cycle of overachievement, their leaders, and the organizations that depend on them. Combining personal experience with compelling research and interviews, this book offers a pathway to sustainable high performance.
