Vandaag het gesprek met Mikael Krogerus.
Mikael is a Finish citizen, raised in Sweden and Germany. He holds a degree from the alternative business school The Kaospilots and has worked as a copywriter for various ad agencies and as a reporter for magazines.
Together with Roman Tschäppeler, he co-authored five international bestsellers, among others ”The Decision Book” which has sold over a million copies worldwide.
Currently, he works as a reporter for the Swiss weekly magazine ”Das Magazin”.
Mikael shared two interesting learnings from his years at Kaospilot. One was about self-evaluation that I started using more and more in my work. He also shared how he worked from advertising at a magazine, to editor, to staff writer and got his dream job as a journalist.
He explained how he always had various projects and jobs and what his three requirements are for success. I loved talking to Mikael and learning from his experience and insights.
Enjoy the insights of Mikael.
