TALKS

In my work as a lecturer, I explore how organizations can grow from the inside out by strengthening inner development, relationships, and everyday practices. I combine research and real-world experience to make complex ideas about leadership, sustainability, and the future of work both accessible and actionable.

My lectures are grounded in evidence-based models from psychology and organizational development, always connected to concrete examples. I focus on creating understanding around motivation, psychological safety, and belonging as foundations for lasting change. My aim is to inspire reflection, learning, and action that supports long-term, sustainable transformation.

I am connected to Athenas Speakers Bureau and can be booked through their website below!

    - Anna-Karin Lindeberg

  • "Maria S. Wiklander from The Remote Lab gave a highly appreciated presentation at the Business Day in Mariehamn on work, life, and sustainability. Her professional way of describing how we work and live today and then shifting to future trends with a focus on sustainable lifestyles was noted by both media and participants. The Business Day, organized by Ålands Näringsliv, is an annual event gathering around 300 leaders and decision-makers in Åland."

    - Jan-Erik Rask

  • When Östersund won the title City Center of the Year and was honored to host the Swedish City Centers’ annual conference. Due to the pandemic, the conference was finally held in 2022 with over 500 urban developers and decision-makers from across Sweden in attendance. When we chose speakers for the conference, Maria was an obvious choice because she and The Remote Lab held the most relevant research and knowledge on remote work and future trends in how our downtowns will be affected. She delivered a very appreciated and highly interesting talk on the theme “Remote Work of the Future Changes City Centers.” As with previous talks I’ve heard from Maria, she captured the audience’s interest. She always feels relaxed on stage, and her combination of humor, warmth, and clarity makes the message land credibly. I can genuinely recommend Maria because she is always well prepared, knowledgeable, and delivers regardless of the topic.
