Bogforum 2023 interview Signe Ørom og Julie Folmer-Niemann
Keynotes and talks

Did You Get The Point?

How is it that we sometimes feel misunderstood – even when we speak the same language? Why do tensions arise when working across cultures? And how can cultural differences become a strength rather than a challenge?

Keynotes and talks

An eye-opener and a source of inspiration

A combination of professional insight, humor, practical exercises, and thought-provoking real-life stories

Based on Signe Ørom’s book “Did You Get The Point?”, this interactive and inspiring keynote takes you on a journey around the world. You’ll gain deeper insight into cultural intelligence and learn how differences in habits, expectations, leadership styles, values, and communication can lead to both comical and critical misunderstandings – and how we can instead use these differences as a valuable resource.

The session lasts 1–2 hours and combines professional insight with humor, exercises, and thought-provoking real-life stories. You will gain:

🟠
Eye-openers on
how culture shapes the way we understand one another

🟡
Tools
to navigate cultural diversity

🟠
Plenty of laughs
and relatable situations you’ve (probably) experienced yourself

🟡
Inspiration on
how to build stronger collaboration across cultures

Can you say Yes?

Whether you work internationally, in a diverse organization, or simply want to improve how you understand and communicate with others – this keynote is for you.

So, the question is: Did You Get The Point?
After this session, the answer will (hopefully) be: Yes – and then some.

Signe, you filled the stage with a truly great mix of thought-provoking insights and entertaining perspectives — not least about our own cultural bias. Thank you for that!

Thank you, Signe, and thank you so much for an insightful and entertaining talk. It was very inspiring and I'm sure we will collaborate more in the future - we still have a lot to learn when it comes to collaborating across cultures.
