Sanna Stellan

Sanna Stellan is an experienced actor and author who has built a career both in Finland and abroad. She studied acting in the United Kingdom, where she also worked for more than ten years before returning to Finland. In Finland Stellan has been seen as host of Yle's Strada and Naurun tasapaino, and in several television series and films.

Alongside acting, Stellan has written several books, some of them guides to living well and staying well. Her writing, television projects and theatre work reflect an interest in the different sides of being human: how to meet pressure, grow from setbacks and find joy in ordinary days.

As a speaker Sanna Stellan brings a rare combination of stage experience, a writer's depth and stories from her own life. She talks about life and work in a way that makes an audience stop, laugh and feel inspired.

Stellan's particular strength is making complicated subjects approachable and touching people with humour, without softening the important message too far. Her talks stay in the mind because they combine authenticity, expertise and a sense of occasion.
