Happy At Work
Leadership Lessons From The Happiest Place In The World
There is a word that exists only in the Scandinavian languages: Arbejdsglæde. This means “happiness at work.” Denmark is known as one of the happiest countries in the world. It’s a relatively small, tight-knit country. The people are proud, but humble. They are open to diversity in actions and thought, and treat each other with equality. The country offers free college and hospital visits with little corruption. The citizens of Denmark tend to possess an open-minded, rugged and mountaineering mindset. To find out what Denmark does differently, I spoke with LogPoint CEO Jesper Zerlang. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, with offices across Europe, the United States and Asia, LogPoint is a multinational, multicultural and inclusive cybersecurity company.

The Theranos Investors Who Were Duped Out Of Millions

Her wealthiest and most high profile victims include Rupert Murdoch, who lost $125m and the DeVos family – including Trump-era Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who invested $100m.
The Psychology Of Impostor Syndrome & How To Actually Overcome It
Imagine that you’ve just landed a new job. You successfully climbed up the next rung of the corporate ladder. You earned your seat at the table. As an ambitious career person, you’re excited and proud of yourself because you have arrived. But almost immediately as you sit down at that table, you begin to question yourself. You think, “Who am I to be leading this work?” You find yourself harboring feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, feeling like you’ve deceived people into letting you take on this position, and feeling shame in telling people about what you’re experiencing. You spin in a cycle of inadequacy, guilt, and worry.
Why 2022 Is the Year You Get Your Dream Job
It is the resolution many workers make each January: “This is the year I get my dream job.” For those truly motivated to land a new role, ascend to the next level, boost their salary—or all three—conditions have rarely been better.
