Tunna Milonoff has established his place as one of the country’s most compelling storytellers, whose work has shaped a whole generation’s view of the world. His background as a director and producer has given him a unique perspective, which he now harnesses to developing Finnish working life. Tunna is a speaker who does not settle for inspiration alone: he wants to bring about a genuine change in his listeners’ thinking and action. For him it matters that words turn into a new way of acting.
Tunna has become especially known for his honest, open talk about coping. His successful book Liekki has sparked wide discussion about the transformation of working life and the root causes of burnout. The book’s lessons are a solid foundation for his talks. Tunna skilfully addresses how the complexity of working life can be unpacked into manageable wholes, and how the “vagueness of work” is overcome with clarity.
Tunna’s keynotes are adventurous journeys into the landscape of the mind. He teaches how anyone can learn to navigate accelerating change and lead themselves with survival skills and peace of mind familiar from the Amazon rainforest. At the centre are resilience, psychological safety, and the ability to relight an inner fire without the compulsion to perform. Tunna shows that humanity and hard results are not opposites, but forces that support each other.
Organisations benefit from Tunna’s insights in concrete ways, because a thriving workplace is also, in research, more productive. When employees and leadership understand the mechanisms of the mind and the meaning of a shared direction, collective work ability is born. Tunna Milonoff helps companies calibrate their compass and find a way to make work meaningful again. His talks offer listeners “the keys to a flowing life”, which help people cope better in constant change.
