Ding dong, the 5-day office week is dead. People are working nearly 1/3 of days remotely.
Flexibility is worth as much to people as an 8% raise. What we value most is skipping the commute. We dislike schlepping more than working.
Hybrid is the present as well as the future.

Some people go to therapy to just be heard, to be validated, and to be told they're not the issue. Transformation involve higher levels of awareness and some really confronting work that not everyone who goes to therapy is ready for. And that's ok.

Nothing to do after school? In #Finland, you can always go to the youth centre. 💙
These spaces are dedicated to children and young people. There they can meet friends, play games and do other fun activities. The spaces are always run by educated youth workers.

In #Finland, even young children can safely travel to and from school alone or with their friends. Schools are typically so close to home that they can easily walk or cycle. After school, children often play outside while parents are at work.🚴♂️🏃♀️

If you ask a #Finnish grandma the secret to a long life, you'll get a simple answer: eat more berries! 👵 #Finland's forests are full of treasures such as these wild lingonberries. They are rich with nutrients and vitamins and literally a superfood!

Pessimists see problems. They worry about what could go wrong in the future.
Optimists see possibilities. They focus on what could go right in the future.
Proactive people turn problems into possibilities. They give us reasons to be optimistic about the future.

Leaders with good judgment listen for what’s unsaid. They surround themselves with people who will tell them what they need to know — not what they want to hear. And they think carefully about the risks of implementation — even for small projects. s.hbr.org/3QWbwh5

A sign of emotional intelligence is moving from “You made me feel” to “This is how I reacted.”
Our emotions aren’t caused by other people’s actions. They’re shaped by our interpretations.
Blaming others gives them power over our feelings. Taking responsibility empowers us.
