This episode is jam packed with career advice and learnings from Bo Kratz, who also happens to be my cousin. He has a wealth (no pun intended!) of experience in asset management and leadership across many countries, including Sweden, Singapore and Hong Kong.

In this episode we unpack some key career-defining moments and leadership learnings, including the question 'can you be too kind as a leader?' Bo generously shares his story of what got him started as an expat over 30 years ago and all the ups and downs along the way.

We deep dive into a few different areas:

• Asking for what you want and allowing people to be part of your journey
• Fully leaning in to belong – for yourself, your work and your loved ones
• Culture shock and managing people from different cultures
• Moving overseas with a family
• Key leadership learnings from a young age in army training
• Knowing when it’s time to leave a role that’s not right for you and how to be able to resign in an amicable way
• Benefits of career breaks and reflection
• Passions and hobbies outside of work

Bo's top 3 key career tips:

1. With the resources you have, do what you can to improve your odds for success.
2. Always use your brain but listen to your heart!
3. Wherever you work, work hard and do the best you can and still remember you are part of an ecosystem.
