The Frenchman Alex King came to Sweden in his late teens, after his family was split up by a series of tragic events. He studied economy at the university, and in two years learned how to speak and write Swedish fluently. After that, he took a job in a Swedish bank. After being asked if he wanted to conduct internal trainings, he discovered a talent he knew nothing of.

One thing led to another, and he began to learn more about behavioral sciences. Soon he left his banking career as one of the youngest bank directors ever.

He no longer drives his car, since he a few years ago suffered a collision in a traffic jam. He received a whiplash injury, which meant he has to take treatments regularly. Sometimes this affects his mood and ability to concentrate.

Alex King is now about 35, and has been a consultant for ten years. He starts, little by little, to think about what the next step in life might be. He knows that there are things he would like to do besides being a consultant, but he is looking for what that something actually could be…
