I vividly remember what it felt like starting my last company. Back then I wasn’t really sure what I was capable of. Or what we were capable of. And now, I know it's different. It's another beginning for me. I’m SO thankful for those old beginnings. They’ve prepped me for what’s to come. What are you thankful for right now? Let me know in the comments below! #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

Notes for aspiring speakers 👇🏽 - Prepare (especially if you’re used to ranting to a camera, like me. A camera and a crowd are two different things). - You will have days where you crush it. And days where you royally suck. Learn from both. - There are no rules to how many speaking engagements are too many... find what works for you. Everyone is different. - Specialize in something. Know why people should bring you in to speak. - If you want to speak, ask. - Record yourself when you’re speaking. Turn the portions that bring the most value [& have the highest chance to go viral] into video snippets. - What would you add? #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

Real talk: I want everyone that works with me/for me to grow so fast that they can do anything and work anywhere. To be [or get] so good that they don’t need me. But they choose to work with me. Because they get it. I was thinking about what it would be like if I ever had to go back to work for someone else again... and I couldn’t. Because 1). I’m in control of what we become, who we are, and the culture that we build. But also 2). I get to help people become who they want to be. I love this team. #justQ 🖤 …see more

Even those who have earned a reputation of reliability with others may find themselves failing to keep the most important #promises of all: the ones they make to themselves. Here’s how: Make sure they’re what you really want Before you can keep promises to yourself, you have to confirm that they’re still relevant & meaningful to you. Be honest about why you’ve let things slide Fear—of failure, success, and what others may say or think about you—or believing you’re not worthy of such a lofty ambition can hold you back from keeping the promises you make to yourself. Prioritize and schedule time for them Carve out non-negotiable space every day to work on your #goals , even if it’s just 15 minutes. Protect this time by scheduling it first. Tell another human being It’s one thing to write something down in a private journal or tape it to your office wall where only you will see it; it’s quite another to speak your intentions out loud to another person. Break it down into smaller chunks Keeping a promise to yourself usually involves more than a single bold, sweeping gesture; it’s typically a series of actions, done consistently, that matter most. Track your #progress & celebrate the small wins This helps remind you how far you’ve come and what’s left to do. #leadership #career …see more

"Your employees are your greatest brand advocates." This past weekend I was able to speak on a personal branding panel with Joel Hansen and Shannell Connell. We covered how employers can better show corporate culture, how to manage content with your day to day life, and much more. Personal branding is more than just what you post online. Content is only a tool to amplify your work and passion. Thank you to everyone who helped make the #GenZTakeover a success: Jeremy Becker , Sam Park , Richard YoungJun Kim , Gregg L. Witt , Nika Moeini , Gabriel Williams , and so many more. #branding #personalbranding …see more

Over 87% of physicians claimed they see some advantage in digital health tools - back in 2019. (Imagine what they would say now.) This positive approach is good for a start, but doctors need concrete incentives that drive them to adopt digital health. I find these 5 the strongest motivators. What do you think doctors need to provide better care with technologies? #DigitalHealth #FutureOfHealthcare #HealthcarePolicy #PatientEmpowerment #HealthTechnology …see more

While modern medicine created the professional, efficient, metric-driven medic alienated from the patients, the need for compassionate care is more urgent than ever. However, that’s not only up to the physician but also the organization, because individual attempts might result in burnout symptoms. Adoption of A.I. could change the situation for the better in the future, as it would create space for doctors and nurses to spend more quality time with patients. The question is, are doctors ready for it? #AI artificialintelligence #digitalhealth #technology #healthcare …see more

Everyone thinks Business Transformation is about working around technology, when it's really about rebuilding your entire company around people........ in the age of new expectations and possibilities ......because of technology. More about empathy and creativity than Tech.

Excessive interruptions affect human behavior by increasing stress and by negatively impacting recall, accuracy, efficiency, and ultimate performance. Interruptions are undermining our ability to effectively and efficiently complete our work. It is time for you to take back control and halt the incessant interruptions.

On December 19th, my colleagues at McKinsey are publishing their bi-annual survey of Chinese consumer behavior, “China consumer report 2020: The many faces of the Chinese consumer.” The report, based on a survey of 5,400 consumers in 44 cities, highlights how Chinese consumers are “bifurcating” in their spending behavior. One segment, what we call the “Young Free Spenders,” live in second and third tier cities and are spending generously like their first-tier city counterparts did not so long ago. These folks represent just 25% of China’s population but 60% of spending growth (2018 vs. 2017). This is the segment to watch. Then there are the “Discerning” and “Frugal” consumer segments who are tightening their belts in reaction to the economic slowdown. We also talk about the growing interest in products that support a healthier lifestyle, how homegrown Chinese brands are muscling into premium categories previously dominated by multinational brands, and Chinese tourists’ growing preference for smaller, self-guided excursions over the mass group tours that we tend to know them for.

If you run a customer facing business, I bet if you did good customer service over email and text and not just the phone, you'd probably see a sharp rise in business. Just saying.

You have three life domains: Work, Relationships, and You. At the center of these domains is you. You require maintenance and care, which takes time. After all, who’s more critical to helping you live the kind of life you want than you? Exercise, sleep, healthy meals, and time spent reading or listening to an audiobook are all ways to invest in ourselves. Taking care of yourself is at the core of the three domains because the other two depend on your health and wellness. If you’re not taking care of yourself, your relationships suffer. Likewise, your work isn’t its best when you haven’t given yourself the time you need to stay physically and psychologically healthy. At a basic physiological level, we need time in our schedules for sleep, hygiene, movement, and proper nourishment. You also need time for psychological or spiritual fulfillment like prayer or meditation, intellectual enrichment like reading a book or taking an online course, and time for fun activities like playing video games or painting. By setting aside time to live out your values in the “You” domain, you will be able to actualize the qualities of the person you want to be. What are some of the ways you’ve taken care of yourself recently? #Indistractable #Health #SelfCare #Reflection …see more
