Workshop announcement! This year in the Nordic Ga

Workshop announcement!

This year in the Nordic Game Conference, I will be hosting a new advanced version of my workshop Fantasy & Duty - Sexual Awareness In Game Design.

What?
A discussion oriented workshop about human sexuality as a driver for creative work and game design. The workshop fosters ownership, conscious design, freedom and responsibility in a safe and intimate discussion environment.

Why?
To spark constructive and honest dialogue about sexual drivers and their effect on representation in games. To support creative workers in owning the design choices they make and help them reflect and communicate the motivation behind those choices.

For whom?
For game designers, artists, creative directors and anyone interested in character and realm design.

Prerequisites?
Willingness to engage in a reflective discussion about the aforementioned.

Where and when?
Nordic Game Conference in Malmö, May 22-24

Deriving from my experience as a games professional and a performance artist, I will walk the group through 2 interactive lectures, each followed by a group discussion.

Depending on the number of registrations, I'm doing up to 3 sets of the workshop. One on each conference day at 1 pm. Each session can lasts from 2 to 3 hours.

Each session takes a maximum of 10 participants.

Wanda the shark!🦈

On Thursday I had the honor and privilege sparring and evaluating new gamified wellbeing solutions by aspiring entrepreneurs and teams of TE3 Oy, @thecityspotting , 1080 Coaching, @hutunki , @nollaamo , @nordicrackandoffice , and @oncova.fi

The event was filled with great discussions, actionable ideas and value generated by the right people meeting.

Congratulations to the organizers for enabling all these valuable connections through your project.

In addition to the principles of gamification I got to help the teams by sharing some good practices of the game industry like go-to-market strategies, scaling and crystallizing the focus of operations in each step. I also had great discussions with my fellow sharks Laura Turunen and Sami Partanen.

Thanks for trusting my expertise!

Visited Kädentaitomessut Handicraft Fair today and went full Barbenheimer at the Anjo Allee Hats booth. Bought a felted wool Fedora for Valtteri and a beautiful cocktail flower hat for Wanda. I'm all the styles and all the emotions! Transvestite life is about being it all!😍

Q: what is it that you do?
A: I'm in the business of changing the world.

- Changing the way we think about the societal purpose and responsibility of businesses by leading and developing an impact business

- Changing the way we calculate the value of work by demonstrating the value of volunteer work, activism, non-profit operations and arts

- Changing the way we think about the agency and power of an individual by operating tirelessly on multiple different levels of society

- Changing the way we think about professionalism by breaking the narrow molds with my example

Big COO energy on stage at Expa / IGDA Jyväskylä

Big COO energy on stage at Expa / IGDA Jyväskylä March 2024 meetup 🤩

We explored and learned the following

- A good company culture values different types of workers with varying amounts of ownership
- Safe environments nurture thinking and dialogue
- Structure streamlines processes and provides a cushion the team can fall against
- Functional conflicts keep things in motion

Massive thanks to Teemu Vilén for sharing your vast and versatile experience and insights of leading and working with people!

I’m Wanda, a science communicator, game industry

I’m Wanda, a science communicator, game industry professional and a performing artist. Social and ecological sustainability along with scrutinizing the human experience are topics close to my heart. With my performance I seek to educate, ponder, entertain, discuss and deliver emotions, be present and encounter others – lightened with a touch of seduction and humor but with all my heart.

I’m also known as Valtteri Lahti. Wanda and Valtteri are one. My thoughts and my values remain the same even if I paint my face. My personality stays intact even if I change my posture and body language. I’m open, thoughtful and gentle – with or without heels.

Wanda O Rly is my artist name that reflects the notion of science as a way of thinking; a combination of childlike wonder and healthy skepticism. Wanda as in “wonder” and O Rly along the lines of the skeptical question “Oh really?”

✨ Don't crunch so hard that you lose your sparkl

✨ Don't crunch so hard that you lose your sparkle ✨
...Simple advice I could not apply. I had to crunch a ton to make room for my sparkle. But from now on I may just be able to sustain the spark in a healthy way.

So much has happened since the last time I did a little journaling here that I have some trouble getting started. But let's start with a high level update.

My career has always been like a blanket parsed together of bits and pieces all over the place. The idea behind it has always been the synergies I see between those pieces and the connecting factor has been me, Wanda; educator, artist and games professional.

The hardest part of it all is that the synergies I've seen between different things rarely materialize on their own; I've had to put in a lot of work to bring them out and make other people see them. And a lot of the time my work has been all about being hands in the mud enabling the things I really want to do instead of following my heart in the moment.

Now for the first time I'm feeling like the synergies are starting to support me in a self-sustaining way, allowing me to pursue things more and more according to my own vision and values.

It has to do with the reputation and networks I've built, but also with calming down, taking time for myself and amplifying my inner voice over the flood of signals I get from my environment.

I'll probably post about this in more detail later but for now I just want to spill my gratitude around with this super real pic of me living my glam fantasy with a backpack full of work I will handle one thing at a time.

Code red! ❤️ But only for the sake of dashing

Code red! ❤️ But only for the sake of dashing looks!

I've had a great week. What felt like an increasingly chaotic development of events got clarified and instead of just executing tasks to stay on top, I've had the luxury of taking some distance and reflecting.

The secret to this was persistently resisting the urge to rush to every task and just focusing on the essentials. Everything that was important got done and while some things are still waiting, having them organized for next week allows me to rest in the incompleteness.

Have a great weekend everyone! Remember to listen to the signals of your body and mind when pacing your work.
