Keynote:
Glitter, Guts and Growth: What I’ve Learned in the Spotlight
With glitter in her gaze and guts in her voice, Ina Mikkola takes the SOHJO 2026 main stage with a keynote that dares, disarms and dazzles. Known for her fearless journalism, bestselling books and bold cultural commentary, Ina has made a career of breaking molds and spotlighting stories that matter.
In her keynote “Glitter, Guts and Growth: What I’ve Learned in the Spotlight”, Ina reflects on visibility, vulnerability, and personal power — and how creative courage builds both careers and culture. Her talk invites audiences to rethink what it means to shine in a noisy world, and how authenticity is the new superpower in both business and branding.
Rooted in North Karelia but lived in Vantaa, Ina will spend the full SOHJO week in Joensuu. She also joins the panel discussion on Building Luminous Personal Brands, where she brings her signature insight into identity, impact, and standing out with purpose.
At SOHJO, Ina doesn’t just speak — she radiates.
