14. Global Executive Coach of the Year 2023 (Sweden): Tina Persson May23002 With over 25 years of experience, Passage2Pro founder Tina Persson combines an academic and corporate career as a global ICF coach, author, and keynote speaker. She is a force to be reckoned with in the realms of executive, leadership, and team coaching, as well as an expert on how to thrive in your life and career. She empowers individuals and organisations to meet future challenges imposed by the technological shift impacted by AI. Typical topics Tina covers include: the power of emotional intelligence in leadership; the importance of effective communication in leadership; navigating change and uncertainty – the power of adaptability; and developing a growth mindset for career success. Tina founded Passage2Pro based on her own experience of finding herself unemployed, after 25 years in academia. She has published over 25 scientific articles specialising in cutting-edge RNA aptamers and catalytic RNAs. Her publications can be found in PubMed under the names Tina Persson and RNA. “My value stems from my experience of feeling alone and lost after leaving academia. It took me several years to discover myself and harness my inner power as a positive force.” Tina spent over six years at the Max-Planck Institute in Germany, and upon returning to Sweden established her research group. After some time, however, she realised that academic leadership and its environment were unhealthy, and this is what prompted her to make her leap. Little did she know how difficult it would be, though. She experienced times feeling misunderstood, isolated, and even fell ill during her journey. But it was during her darkest moments that her dream actually began to take shape. She realised she wanted to create a company to help and support others going through similar situations. She began by training herself to adapt to new circumstances, and working on overcoming her fear of failure by shifting her mindset. Instead, she focused on new opportunities, and becoming less critical of herself, both of which were crucial factors when it came to devising Passage2Pro. Dr. Tina Persson is the CEO at Passage2Pro, an educational coaching company that delivers services on a global scale. Its business model has been recently transformed to contend with the upcoming digitalisation process and the impact of AI, whilst continuing to encourage individuals to have personal hope for the future. These are values that continue to drive Tina as she leads her company today, and encompass transforming her biggest fear into motivation, taking risks, and embracing change. Passage2Pro offers a unique blend of services; operating in the global market; serving individuals; assisting many different nationalities. It recognises the significance of cultural differences, diversity, and inclusion in nurturing the next generation of leaders, and building effective teams in an AI-driven, rapidly changing world. The company is certified in advanced assessment tools including Emotional Intelligence and Adaptability. It also uses more traditional measurements, enabling it to offer comprehensive insights and support for individuals. It concentrates on helping professionals in the fields of Life Science, Biotech, Engineering, and IT across different levels in SMEs, corporate organisations, and academia. Passage2Pro AB stands out from the rest by providing end-to-end support and guiding professionals from academia to positions within industry. This unique perspective allows it to bridge the gap between academia and the corporate world, whilst aiming to stay at the forefront of emerging trends, and ensure it remains a trusted resource in the field. “Ultimately, resisting change is not an option if one wishes to thrive in the market.” Current market trends in the industry are predominantly characterised by the rapid implementation and influence of digitalisation, and the introduction of AI. An example is ChatGPT, which was relatively unknown before November 2022. Leading companies are incorporating AI tools into their business models, resulting in significant changes in work processes and the potential disappearance of jobs. On the bright side, this transformation will also generate numerous new job opportunities. The workforce must actively upskill and adapt to evolving circumstances to keep up with these changes. Having a coach during this transformative process will prove to be a winning strategy since seeking assistance, embracing re-learning, and adapting to the circumstances are essential skills for the Company: Passage2Pro AB Web Address: www.passage2pro.com Contact Name: Dr. Tina Persson
