We're moving to Ruka! + Lots of new blogs

Hei there,

How are you doing? Wow, the past few weeks have been full of activities for me.

It's been great being at events and bumping into many of our community members here in Finland.

I'm thinking about doing a Her Finland community meet-up with an online option. Does this sound interesting to you? Hit reply and let me know!

As you might know, networks (in business life especially) are crucial in Finland. In this new blog, I share all my networking tips regarding Finland. 

Lately, at home, I've been watching Bordertown again. That inspired me to blog about the city of Lappeenranta, where the show takes place. If you visit this town, you should try the local meat pie (there's also a vegan version). 

Finally... Snow, reindeer, and lots of great conversations coming up. This year our family will move to Ruka in Kuusamo for the entire month of November.

This autumn I've been helping the towns of Kuusamo, Posio, and Taivalkoski to design their area as a better place to live for everyone. The region is looking for 1000+ people to work there in the next 3 years in various fields.

You can follow our life there on my Instagram and Facebook stories, boarding the Lapland night train tomorrow.

Have a lovely weekend and talk to you soon!

Yours

Varpu

Ps. Picture from Posio, where I was visiting Pentik and the studio of Miki, a Korean ceramic artist living there. Her owls will melt your heart. 

Ps2. Almost forgot! My shop has new crewnecks and designs such as Finland, Tampere, and Oulu.

[24 hrs left ] ⚡All questions answered: 50% OFF Finnish Culture course

Hei there!

I'm popping in with a quick reminder that my praised cultural course, Finnish Culture Compass, is 50% off for the next 24 hours. 

>>> GET CONNECTED WITH THE FINNISH LIFESTYLE 50% OFF <<<

Below are the top questions about this course. Maybe you've been wondering about some of them too...

1. What if I'm going to feel silly? 

I know what you mean. This is a new approach. That's why you might be primed to believe that an online cultural learning journey wouldn't be possible. But it is. 

And, the fact that you are thinking about the silliness of it tells me that you're in touch with your mind, heart, and sisu. You're ready for this journey. 

2. What am I really going to get out of it?

This course is your Finnish culture discovery. I won't teach you "how to be a Finn." 

My second worst nightmare would be to make you fall asleep by giving you a one-sided lecture on Finland facts and cultural traditions.

That's why after completing the lesson challenges in your workbook, you'll get a personal video review of them. This course is a hybrid of both a course and online coaching. 

3. I haven't visited Finland, so I cannot do this course, right?

You can discover the Finnish culture and communication style even if you haven't yet visited Finland. Just check out Gwen's success story on the course page. 

4. Can't I just keep reading forums, free posts, and watching videos? Why should I pay for something?

While you might be able to piece together something that kind of looks like a Finnish culture and communication style mindmap, it could take you months, if not years... Most cultural resources online don't go beyond the tourist experience.

The Finnish Culture Compass ensures a clear roadmap for you. The lessons don't go through some stuff you already discovered somewhere. I unlocked one of the lessons in Finnish Culture Compass: Step-by-step guide on how to tap into your sisu so that you can see that.

5. How much time will I have to spend doing the course? 

The course is self-paced and forever yours. You can start when the time is right for you. If you do the lesson challenges (and I hope you do!) + read Finnish Whisperer, I'd say schedule about 12 hrs in total.

6. What if I don't like the course? Can I get my money back?

I'm confident that Finnish Culture Compass is the missing link between you and feeling connected with the Finnish culture and communication style. Nobody has ever asked for a refund on this course. But just in case, you have a full 30-day money-back guarantee.

If you have any other questions, hit reply and let me know.

Yours

Varpu

PS. The sale ends this Saturday at midnight EST. Grab the offer here (one-time payment, forever access).

😜 Finnish culture tips: Don't be offended by these things

Hei there,

I get many messages about confusing situations when interacting with Finnish people... It might feel like you'd have to live 20 years in Finland to master them...

Luckily, that's not true. 

My students love our cultural course Finnish Culture Compass. It's a step-by-step roadmap that helps you confidently connect with Finns. 

But don't take my word for it. I opened a sample lesson in the course for you: 

DON'T BE OFFENDED BY THESE THINGS SAID BY A FINN

After watching it, you'll know: 

- How Finns get introduced (or the lack of it!)

- What's the one thing that makes you lose face

- How Finns give feedback 

>> Watch this lesson now. <<

Talk to you soon, 

Varpu

Ps. This Thursday, I will throw a huge - better than Black Friday - flash sale for this course, so be on the lookout for my email.
