Coach and business developer Mikko Heiskanen is relaxed and immediate company. He is enthusiastic about working with people and is quite a wizard at facilitating and enabling co-creation.
Mikko believes that understanding things and people is the key to successful coaching and business development.
”Duun has to be fun and meaningful to achieve something.”
”Change starts with everyone understanding and supporting a common goal.”
”Let's take small, measurable steps in a determined way towards the goal.”
Mikko gets feedback for his quick grasp of the big picture and his ability to create a new way of working - change.
Mikko has a long career in IT, which he got by chance when he went to work for a friend's import and wholesale company while studying sociology. Before moving into the international IT business, Mikko also managed to work as an entrepreneur, running a small IT company.
”Big companies have their own logic - a corporate game that you have to know and understand if you want to change things.”
”Am I just doing a routine task or do I understand the customer interface of my job?”
”In data-driven business, the software takes care of the management and the emphasis is on managing the mood.”
In the international IT business, Mikko has worked in a variety of roles, from product manager and sales to various management positions in sales, marketing and business development. In the last years before becoming a coach, Mikko has worked in international change management roles.
”I just keep the pace and when I go home, my head is empty and my heart is full of joy.”
”I'm focused on winning this point - the rest will take care of itself.”
To balance his work, Mikko plays drums in a hobby band, plays tennis and enjoys spending time with his beloved family at the cottage.
