Join us for an engaging and insightful event where we dive into the quirks and trademarks of Danish work culture. With humor and practical tips, we’ll explore how internationals and Danes can navigate cultural differences, build stronger connections, and work together with greater ease.

As an international working in Denmark, what expectations do you bring with you to the workplace? And what are your Danish colleagues expecting from you – sometimes without even realizing it?

Kay Xander Mellish, an expert on Danish work culture and author of How to Work in Denmark, will take us on a lively journey into the fascinating world of cultural differences in the Danish workplace. With humor and practical tips, we’ll explore how internationals and Danes can navigate cultural differences and work better together.

Kay will explain why Danes work the way they do, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of anish work culture. Using her trademark humor and sharp insights, she’ll reveal the surprising – and sometimes puzzling – contrasts between Danes and internationals.

Through shared stories and discussion, we’ll uncover how these differences shape everyday interactions. By understanding them, we can communicate more effectively, build stronger connections, and turn culture clashes into culture wins.

This networking event is for both internationals and Danes. Bring a friend or colleague—just forward this invitation so they can sign up too!

Plus: Ask a great question about Danish work culture and you could win one of three signed copies of Kay’s book How to Work in Denmark: Tips for Finding a Job, Succeeding at Work, and Understanding Your Danish Boss.
