Iceland scored the highest for national gender equality on the World Economic Forum’s 2014 Global Gender Gap Index. Even the top country – Iceland – is only 85% of the way towards closing its gender gap. Stage a social media campaign. Some are definitely worth applying if you own your own business.

If you’re interested in learning more about how this happened as well as stories of what went on in Iceland and other places there’s a great book called Boomerang by Michael Lewis , which also serves as a cautionary reminder to all of us in the tech industry about assuming that our recent big boom in valuations will continue.

I was traveling in India with my wife when the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted, wreaking havoc in air travel worldwide. Gerry’s tech team (designer and developer) could help with the logo, website and social media, and I was to take care of sponsors, riders and getting the word out. Qosmic Qadence.

As AppBoy writes : Last month, following media reports that Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, had fallen significantly behind his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, in fundraising, the Trump campaign sent out its first email soliciting donations. Well, most of them have. Donald Trump has not, and it’s showing.

In my case I'm looking at Social Media (boss LOVES social!), A common source of such benchmarks (be it digital marketing or SEO or Landing Pages or anything really) is extensive surveys an organization might send out to a hand selected group or tweeted to the masses via social media.

It is easy to see the outliers, countries that are bunched together, and wonder if you need to find a job in Iceland as they can afford four-star hotels much more than others!
