Elina Gustafsson kertoo olevansa entinen huippunyrkkeilijä ja nykyinen huippu. Hän toimii nykyään ilourheilijana, seikkailijana, inspiroivana puhujana ja yrittäjänä. DuuniExpossa hän puhuu tinkimättömästä asenteesta ja rohkeudesta kulkea omaa polkuaan pitkin selkä suorana, kääntäen vaikeatkin kokemukset voitoiksi. Puheesta välittyy valo, huumori ja inspiraatio, miten lopulta elämän avaimet ovat meidän omissa käsissä.

Michaela is originally from Germany, came to Finland in 2019 and got a job here immediately. During the last 5 years, she has switched companies multiple times, because she always found the next best opportunity to apply to – and got the job. Nowadays she works as a manager at Fortum, leads a team of 6 people and hires new talents to the company herself.

According to Michaela, it was not ‘expertise’ alone that boosted her career. Instead, her success is based on educating herself in psychology, communication and public speaking, which helped her to overcome mental struggles and to present herself in a skillful way. As a passionate public speaker, podcaster and career coach she is now helping others to succeed in their job applications, job interviews and at work.
