Global Perspectives, Real-World Lessons
Through decades of experience across more than 35 countries, Stiig Waever has stood at the frontlines of crisis, culture, and complexity. From shadowed negotiations in the Middle East to street-level surveillance in Asia and high-stakes briefings in the West, he has lived the realities most only read about.
But beyond the operations lies something more powerful: the stories.
Stiig shares personal, thought-provoking and sometimes unexpected lessons from a life shaped by people under pressure, decisions made in real time, and encounters that left lasting marks.
His talks aren’t rehearsed theories—they’re lived truths. Told with authenticity, insight, and a surprising sense of humour.
