Does Iceland have a culture that reinforces firefighter mode? Is there anything unique about the island nation that makes asking for and finding well-being support a challenge? And is burnout something that’s on people’s minds?
In this episode, I talk with Maria Alva Roff, who’s my collaborator on a project Sustainable Leadership Navigator for Founders, sponsored by Rannis (the Icelandic Center for Research) and tailored for the Icelandic mindset. Maria details her experiences having been raised in Silicon Valley, only to return home to Reykjavik in her adult years with a unique view of what it is to be an Icelander, and how that affects founders’ wellbeing.
In this episode, you will hear about:
- How environmental factors have created a distinct Icelandic mindset
- How social experiences often discourage opening up about hitting the wall
- What we’re developing to help the discussion reach as many local founders and leaders as possible
Stay safe and #standwithukraine,
Anna
