Nataly Kogan Biography
Nataly Kogan is an emotional fitness expert, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and keynote speaker dedicated to helping people embrace their full potential and thrive in work and life. She immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee from the former Soviet Union at the age of 13, starting her American journey in the projects and on welfare. Kogan learned English by watching "Who's the Boss?" and has since climbed to significant professional heights.
She attained high levels of success at McKinsey and Microsoft, served as a Managing Director at a venture capital fund, and held founding or executive roles at five startups and tech companies. However, after a period of intense pursuit of success, Kogan experienced severe burnout, prompting her to develop new strategies for living and working. Today, she leads Happier, Inc., a global technology and learning platform focused on improving emotional health through scientifically-proven practices.
Kogan has authored best-selling books including "Happier Now," "Gratitude Daily," and "The Awesome Human Project." She also hosts the "Awesome Human Podcast," which has been described as a crucial resource for personal development. Her keynotes and workshops are revered for their practical application of neuroscience and psychology, particularly her discussions on emotional fitness, resilience, leadership, and promoting a culture of gratitude in the workplace.
Apart from her professional achievements, Kogan began painting as a self-taught abstract artist at the age of 40, embracing bright colors and creativity in her art. She is known for her vibrant personality, often described as the funniest person in her family, and frequently uses the word “awesome” to express her enthusiasm. Kogan's profound impact on personal and organizational growth is recognized internationally, making her a sought-after speaker and thought leader in the domains of well-being and emotional health.
