Keynote Speaking
The Voyager team designs experiential sessions that challenge how leaders think about performance, culture, and capability — the kind that create lasting shifts in perspective, not just temporary inspiration.
Recent work includes a 90-minute keynote for 250 Google Cloud leaders built around developing hope, confidence, optimism, and resilience in the face of constraint. The session combined narrative design, psychological frameworks, and interactive exercises to help leaders rethink how they build these capabilities in their teams.
His keynotes are designed for audiences who want to be challenged, not entertained. Expect provocative questions, practical frameworks you can use immediately, and an approach that strips away corporate platitudes in favor of what actually drives results.
Topics include:
Leading through constraint and complexity
Building hope, confidence, optimism, and resilience in high-performance teams
The human foundation of organizational transformation
Rethinking leadership development for the modern era
This work is designed for teams that:
Recognize relationships are the foundation of performance
Want to address real dysfunction, not paper over it with trust falls
Are willing to have uncomfortable conversations
Need sustained effectiveness, not a temporary boost
Embedded Partnerships
This is where Voyager does its most impactful work: multi-month to yearlong retainer engagements with VPs and C-suite executives on leadership development at scale and talent strategy.
These aren't project-based consulting relationships. They're strategic partnerships that typically run 3-12 months (sometimes longer) because real organizational transformation requires sustained presence, not a workshop and a report. Bjorn and his team embed with your leadership team — in the room for critical decisions, challenging assumptions in real time, redesigning systems as they break, and building capability that outlasts the engagement.
The work includes strategic advisory on talent and organizational effectiveness, designing and facilitating leadership development programs, leading team transformations, executive coaching, and providing ongoing counsel on the people decisions that determine whether your strategy succeeds or fails.
Current clients include a three-year partnership with Google Cloud Learning Services, where Bjorn provides embedded strategic advisory, leadership development programs, team effectiveness interventions, and executive coaching through annual retainers.
Team Performance
Most team off-sites fail because they focus on activities instead of addressing the relationships and dynamics that actually determine performance. Bjorn's team advisory work goes deeper — designing experiences that strengthen how teams make decisions together, navigate conflict, and build the relational foundation required for sustained effectiveness.
The work includes team off-sites, strategic planning sessions, cross-functional alignment work, and ongoing advisory on team effectiveness. Sessions are structured around the real challenges your team is facing: misalignment on priorities, broken communication patterns, unclear decision rights, or the relational friction that slows execution.
The Voyager team doesn't facilitate so much as architect — creating the conditions for honest conversation, surfacing the dynamics teams usually avoid, and helping leaders redesign how they work together. The focus is always on building relational systems that outlast the session: clearer communication norms, stronger trust, better conflict resolution, and the kind of alignment that actually holds under pressure.
Recent work includes multi-day off-sites for Google Cloud leadership teams focused on cross-program collaboration and organizational coordination, where the goal wasn't team building exercises but fundamentally reshaping how leaders relate to each other and execute together.
Bjorn takes on approximately 10 executive coaching clients per year — a deliberately small roster that allows for depth over volume.
These are limited 1:1 partnerships with executives navigating significant transitions who need someone to tell them the truth, even when it's uncomfortable. The work isn't about affirming what you already believe or asking gentle questions that let you arrive at predetermined conclusions. It's about challenging your assumptions, identifying blind spots, and building the capabilities required for the role you're stepping into or the transformation you're leading.
Clients describe the experience as radically candid, strategically focused, and grounded in practical reality. Bjorn uses assessments and feedback processes as diagnostic tools to understand how you make decisions, where your leadership breaks down under pressure, and what development would create the greatest impact.
The coaching is structured around real execution challenges you're facing, not hypothetical scenarios. Sessions are direct, intentional, and designed to build capability that outlasts the engagement.
This is the right fit if you:
Are navigating a major transition (new role, organizational change, scaling complexity)
Want strategic partnership, not validation
Value honesty over comfort
Are committed to doing the work required for real transformation
