I know I don't know enough to comment on this and I'll get beaten up here, and probably delete this....but with the limited exposure to business I've had lately in China, UAE, Turkey, Taiwan, India, Romania and the Philippines I've seen a massive number of women in Senior roles, being a key part of events , in board meetings and highly visible. This is not what one would expect, we all expect this from Scandinavia. It's nations like Australia and the US where most work seems to be required. …see more

It's really great to see some tech style companies focussing on solving problems and doing good. Thinks like OLIOex.com which helps stop food wastage, or www.kialo.com which helps drive smart debate or bemyeyes.com which helps blind people or www.esusu.org which helps people pool funds to escape poverty in Africa. I'd love to see a proper journalist write a piece or regular pieces on tech for good or just tech that helps …see more

A question I'd love to hear views on. Most business books seem to essentially have one big idea, supported by 4-8 smaller threads that support the same key idea. Yet the key big idea is often one that could reasonably be expressed in depth in 10 pages not 300. It's often big but not deep. For my book I have about 10 biggish ideas, that work reasonably nicely together as a flow. Should I strip out things to follow the usual simplicity or just wack people over the head with these chapters of new ideas in a flow ? I feel like modern audiences may want more and faster and less deep. Thoughts ? …see more

Be honest: Are you trying to be all things to all people? 🤷🏼‍♀️ The hard truth is that it makes you a watered-down version of yourself that no one really cares about. 🤦‍♀️ But don't worry; there is something you can do about it.💁🏼‍♀️ I recently sat down with my friend Rich Cardona, Video Strategist on "The Leadership Locker" podcast, to talk about the #clarity 🎯 and why my favorite Sasha Strauss quote sits in my office as a reminder of the importance of #focus and niching down so your audience can find you. Even though we specialize in different mediums, Rich 🎥 and I 💻 are RIDICULOUSLY aligned in our approach and mindset, so we had a deep and rich (no pun intended) conversation about #thoughtleadership , #personalbranding , and #LinkedInVideo . ✅ Be sure to listen to the full episode (link in comments below), make you subscribe to his amazing #leadership #podcast , 🎧 and if you're not already following or connected yet to Rich, head over to his profile now! #communication …see more

Over a year and a half ago, Michelle Kwok (pictured right) helped me run a conference on mental health and entrepreneurship. I remember post-event, I could only think about all the things that went wrong. At dinner after, Michelle shared with the group just how much that event meant to her. Growing up in an environment that didn't support women entrepreneurship, she was just grateful to be a part of starting something new that was impact focused. Fast forward to today, her and her team at FLIK - Female Laboratory of Innovative Knowledge are launching a survey to analyze the future of female founders, and I am so grateful to support her as she co-creates her own impact initiative. All gender identities are welcome to fill out their survey and be among the first to see their report when it is released!

This free A.I.-based algorithm reads X-rays as well as doctors! By uploading my own chest X-ray onto this free website, it could diagnose 14 diseases with 80% accuracy. It’s all thanks to open-source A.I. that runs inside your web browser–or what happens when insurance companies and big pharma stop making the rules of healthcare, and the age of WebMD self-diagnosis is supercharged with machine learning. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

An amazing experience in Basel giving the opening keynote at #amee2018 to 4000 deans, professors and educators about how to reshape medical education for the 21st century. I focused on patient empowerment, bringing technology to the classroom, not being replaced by artificial intelligence and making patients the point of care with digital health. I also made the curriculum of my university course about digital health open access worldwide and announced the campaign of upgrading the Hippocratic Oath. Excellent discussions in person and on Twitter. I couldn't be more grateful to Lawrence Sherman for the warm introduction. #education #artificialintelligence #twitter #keynote #medicaleducation …see more

"At work people want to be liked, but they need to be needed" - This was a casual remark by and on a recent Bruce Daisley Podcast that seemed like a sort of throwaway piece of genius. I go on about him and his stuff quite often on my Newsletter, so it's getting a bit boring for some of you, but I really do think he's got one of the most interesting and insightful Podcasts around right now. …see more

Don’t get it twisted... #mentors don’t always have to be older than you. Got an email today from Amanda Eisenberg of POLITICO , who came running up to me last weekend at the Journalism and Women Symposium (JAWS) Mt. Hood Camp with a hot tip about a book proposal idea she insisted I’d be perfect for. Amanda sat in the front row of my #globalhealth reporting session, right next to Betsy Wade. She insisted that I attend the panel by Jane Isay and Diana B. Henriques about writing your first book, and she’s cheering me on about my upcoming National Geographic feature. I never had a mentor young enough to be my daughter, so we’ve agreed that Amanda’s my “Hype Woman.” #JAWS #mentoring #mentoringmatters #journalism #womeninjournalism …see more

It is a credit policy and not a monetary policy. The MPC has nothing much to do with it. It is the policy of a governor who is not shy of experiments when the space for monetary easing is extremely limited.

Unconditional positive regard means offering compassion to people even if they have done something wrong. A 2018 study found that athletes who received unconditional positive regard from their coaches were more motivated to play sports and felt more confident. In this article, I talk about how unconditional positive regard can help us reach our highest potential. #Behavior #Motivation #Growth #Connection #Compassion …see more

October is National Disability Employment Awareness month although we are reaching the end of this time dedicated to educating leadership on what inclusion means. One of the best ways to push productivity forward is to make sure your organization is a safe space for all abilities and backgrounds to thrive. Here are three ways to promote a safe space at your organization: 1️⃣ Keep an Open Door Policy 2️⃣ Ask How You Can Best Support Each Individual 3️⃣ Provide a Channel for Anonymous Feedback/Suggestions I hesitated to share this series because of a neuro-delay and mild confusion... But please be accepting and understanding of my condition and keep LinkedIn a safe space for all abilities and backgrounds, too. Thank you for your patience and understanding. What else would you add to create a safe space? #Inclusion #Disability #HumanResources …see more

We all have it. That thing that we fear the most. We don’t wanna open up about it. Don’t want to talk about it. Don’t want to share it. We’re afraid to. What will other people think of us? No one else has ever said anything like this. Or at least, "I don’t think anyone else has said anything like this." What will my parents think? What will my friends think? What will my job think? What will my employees think? We all have that thing. But that thing that we fear the most— often turns out to be the thing that people need to hear the most. And once we share it, we realize that was the thing that was holding us back all along. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more
