Mimir Global
Growing future leaders in a world of change
About
Mimir was founded in 2017 by Mette Pausgaard with the mission: "To grow Individuals, communities, and organisations to make a difference in a world of change".
This is driven by the core beliefs of:
• Supporting Professional and Personal Growth
• Develop through Positive Conflict to increase quality and awareness
• Nurturing Trust and Empathy for true Transformational Learning and development.
Who is Mimir?
Mimir is the god that guards the well of knowledge and whom Odin, a more well-known god, gave Mimir one of his eyes in payment for knowledge from the well.
Unfortunately, Mimir met his demise in one of the many disputes in Nordic mythology. Afterwards, Odin, in true Viking style, held on to Mimir’s head and used it to consult and to ask for advice.
Our founder drew the parallels between the well of knowledge and the world wide web. It is no longer exclusive to the elite. Infinite knowledge itself is available to the majority of the world's population.
Now that knowledge itself is no longer exclusive, what is needed for many is the facilitation of this knowledge with learning styles that enable individuals to reach their full potential. Odin also relied on Mimir as a coach to discuss and reflect on the knowledge he received. Even after the demise of Mimir, Odin continued to consult him. We see this as a person who received all the tools and then, with increased self-awareness and reflection, could navigate a life-long learning path.
Odin, a leader in a far and distant mythology, was constantly looking for knowledge, demonstrating eagerness to learn and develop himself. This is a key trait of most leaders; they want to explore and develop to their full potential to support and bring security for their followers. Leaders need to have their own drive and regularly seek guidance; being a leader does not always equate with having a leadership position.
Having the drive, determination and willingness to go through some discomfort when going through self-discovery (no need to lose eyes or limbs) will benefit the leaders attending Mimir’s leadership programme.
Why Mimir Global?
Mimir Global is passionate about sharing knowledge and inspiring mindsets to prepare current leaders for a rapidly changing future. We welcome people from all backgrounds, even people with disabilities.
Mimir is here to support individuals and organisations to develop the skills needed to not only perform in the workplace but to thrive in your personal life too.
Mimir’s founder is not just a facilitator, her background is grounded in years of educational research and application as well as in human behaviour as a professional educator. Making people perform and the transfer of learning in different context and cultures is an art and not science we must all learn to master in a world of change.
