What’s the Nordic Secret to happiness in the face of life-changing events?  How do you show Sisu when pivoting your business to meet structural economic changes?  How does balancing lagom center you on what’s important?

We sit down for a casual conversation and share stories and compare notes on strategies to face difficulties in life and in business.  We’ll explore how Nordic values can offer examples for those looking to get a business off the ground in a difficult economy, pivoting a business strategy to meet new demands, or adjusting to rapid digital transformation and remote work.  Most importantly, we’ll find new reasons to be optimistic in the face of adversity, and even to thrive.
