Invite me as a speaker
Katri draws her stories from personal experience and lived learning, enriching her talks with research-based facts whenever needed.
She has spoken at educational institutions, events, trainings, and entrepreneur gatherings.
The length, angle, and focus of each talk can always be tailored to suit your audience and occasion.
Below are five example themes Katri enjoys speaking about:
1. Dreaming is an important skill
Do you dare to dream? To move towards your dreams? Are you looking for a motivational talk?
Dreams matter. Everyday life keeps us busy, but it’s important to remember to dream and take steps toward what truly matters. For Katri, the importance of pursuing dreams became clear through major personal losses already in her early twenties. Life is now – not “someday.”
2. From dream to reality – stories from a round‑the‑world trip
Are you curious about backpacking or traveling solo? Would practical tips and real-life travel insights help with your future adventures? Or would you like to enjoy an armchair journey around the world through authentic stories and photos?
A childhood dream of traveling around the world required ten years of goal-oriented saving to come true. Careful preparation and the right mindset supported Katri along the way. She shares stories and images from a six-month backpacking journey, offering an entertaining and refreshing trip around the world from your seat.
3. My journey as a national defender
Would you like to hear about military service through the eyes of an adult woman? Are you considering the army or curious about national defense and your own possibilities?
Voluntary military service for women became possible in Finland in 1995. Katri is the first female sergeant in the history of the Karelian Brigade, promoted on July 21, 1997. Her path in national defense has continued ever since. Peacekeeping service took her abroad to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Trainings, refreshers, voluntary and assigned duties – the journey continues as part of a regional unit. Reserve sergeant major Tynkkynen is ready for service.
4. No Poo – healthy hair
Are you interested in hair wellbeing without chemicals? Would you like to hear a real-life story of Katri’s No Poo journey and how it has simplified her life?
No Poo is a choice that frees up energy and makes life easier. It’s an excellent decision for personal wellbeing. It requires initial learning and determination, but the rewards are worth it. Hair care can truly be simple.
5. A different entrepreneur story
Are you considering entrepreneurship? Would you like to hear a true story about a courageous career changer and a small solo entrepreneur?
Ice cream kiosk seller, swimming instructor, lifeguard, bookkeeper, substitute teacher, supermarket cashier, soldier, secretary, banker, communications professional. Katri has worked in many roles and pursued many dream jobs. Her father was a carpenter, her mother a homemaker. And step by step, an entrepreneurial-minded employee became a solo entrepreneur in the nature sector after graduating into a new profession in May 2023.
Thank you for your interest.
