Would you want to sleep outside at -30°C and run 300 km across the Arctic tundra? One of my wildest dreams is to join the Fjällräven Polar adventure—a 300 km journey across the stunning landscapes of northern Sweden and Norway, powered by dog mushing. 🐺🛷 The Arctic Tundra calls me, and I’m ready to explore it and share that journey with others who are just as curious. For me, this journey means so much more than kilometers. It’s about resilience, growth, and the privilege of bringing my story to #FjällrävenPolar2025. All 3 challenges I completed were incredibly fulfilling. 🦊 From icy cold-water plunges in Latvia to tackling my first hikes after regaining strength, my journey has been about reconnecting with nature and pushing beyond limits. Through every challenge, I’ve come to appreciate nature as more than a destination—a place of inspiration, energy, and stillness. I am so happy to see how many people want to spend time outside in nature but also how to give back to the planet. I believe the more you spend time in nature, the more action you will want to take to protect animals, plants, and nature. 🌿🪸 Living in a city, I’ve learned to weave nature into my daily life in small but meaningful ways. I dream of this Arctic adventure to grow personally and inspire others—whether by building brands that celebrate the outdoors, telling stories that move people, or empowering others to explore and protect the natural world. 🐾 ❄️ Here’s to dreaming big, embracing challenges, and finding joy in the journey! Sending all my best vibes to everyone participating in this year’s #FjallravenPolar2025 adventure—may your dreams take you far. 💙✨ What adventure has pushed you out of your comfort zone lately? #Growthmindset #Storytelling #Seeyououtthere #personaljourney

🌼 Lessons from the Alpine Buttercup: Embracing a Short Growth Cycle The #alpine #buttercup thrives in #short growing seasons, quickly #blooming and reproducing before the harsh conditions return. Its #success lies in its ability to make the most of a brief window of #opportunity. In #business, seizing short-term opportunities is essential. One #strategy to apply: focus on "quick wins"—identify projects or initiatives that can deliver fast, impactful #results within a #limited #timeframe. Like the alpine buttercup, making the most of a short cycle can lead to long-term success. This is part of Alpine Genius Think Tank's Advent Calendar 2024, where we explore #strategies inspired by alpine organisms to spark reflections on everyday business #practices. What short-term opportunities are you embracing? Let’s discuss! #QuickWins #Efficiency #Bioinfused #NatureKnows #BioinfusedAdvent24 #NatureInspiredBusiness

"We spent a great deal of time clarifying the business needs, the company goals, and worked through some examples and role-plays of what a typical day would look like from an agent level in the contact centre, all the way to C-Level. Conducting a ‘Data Handoff’ role-play was vital to track just how the data flows up the levels, and how changes to the data, such as rolling up into teams and departments, changed the storyline. As a business, investing in the right tools to store, manage and transform the data is essential but more importantly, it is for all levels of employees to understand the tools and understand foundational data literacy."

"The #tourism industry is facing some tough challenges ahead with inbound and outbound travel worldwide forecasted to increase by 17,4% and 17%, respectively, in 2024 compared to the previous year. Mass tourism in other places like Venice and Barcelona led to legislative actions to limit tourist accommodations and a decline in tourism from countries like China and Australia of 29% and 26% respectively contributed to these challenges."
