This week, Derek sits down with authors Lita Lundquist and Helen Dyrbye who literally wrote the book on Danish humor, one of the hardest things for foreigners in Denmark to learn. Derek gets feedback on how he handled an interaction with Danish colleagues early in his time living in Denmark. Lita and Helen share valuable insights into Danish culture when it comes to humor and how to navigate the direct nature of Danes. You'll learn what to avoid and how to handle Danish humor in your professional and personal life as well as the way people use humor to socialize you in Denmark.
