Reboot 9: Alexander Kjerulf



Alexander Kjerulf is the "Chief Happiness Officer" and will present his talk "Happiness is subversive - Let's change the world. With happiness.".

He and I talk about:

  • the importance on being happy

  • a bit bragging about his work - but it is all fun

  • last years interview with him

  • how he wrote on / with the blog his book "Happy Hour is 9 to 5"

  • people are very happy at work in Scandinavia!

  • and danes and swedes are absolutely the same *duck and cover*

  • happy startup companies in Eastern Europe - we are more the same than we are different

  • why happiness is subversive and anger will only take you so far

  • motivation is towards a brighter future than being motivated to move away from a problem

  • what is important to you? if you come back from an exhausting weekday, how much fun are you really for your family?

  • be passionate, be happy and earn more

  • say no to some customers

  • put your happiness first and a lot of trouble will go away

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.



Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
