It's official: The economic collapse caused by the coronavirus pandemic is the worst on record. Gross domestic product plunged 9.5 percent in the second quarter (that's an even scarier sounding -32.9 percent on an annualized basis), by far the biggest drop in the 70+ year we've been keeping track. It's no mystery what caused the drop: We shut down the economy. The idea was that by pressing "pause" on normal life -- and by providing trillions of dollars in government support -- we could get the virus under control, then enjoy a rapid rebound once the threat passed. Well, we got the shutdown. But we didn't get the virus under control, and we didn't get the rebound. Another 2 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, the latest sign that the economy is nowhere close to recovered. And now extra unemployment benefits are about to expire for tens of millions of people. For more on what went wrong, and where we go from here, see my coverage in The New York Times. #economy #GDP #unemployment …see more

Today (June 18), the endless speculation over Facebook 's plans to build new global payment rails and launch a global #cryptocurrency comes to an end with the official launch of #Libra . Or does it? I break down the plan to create and ignite the “internet of money” for the billions of unbanked, and the role of its 28 Founding Members in shaping its future. Think of this piece as everything you ever wanted to know about Libra — but didn’t know who to ask to get the straight scoop. Dig in... …see more

My sentiments exactly. Why should we justify why women are good for business if men haven’t. Why should women train for board positions if men haven’t. Why can’t you just give women equal opportunities, equal pay, equal respect just because it’s the right thing to do? Remember women are half the world. We influence more of your product purchases. We are watching if you do the right thing. #professionalwomen #womeninfinance …see more

A great example of personal #branding by creating an emotional connection with the customers - "Hear what you want", the Beats campaign. I actually love my Beats(yellow color), especially while on #airtravel . Of course, I haven't travelled since March. Do you miss travelling?

Daniel Pink describes “intellectual humility” as the willingness to recognize that what you think and believe might be wrong. And for leaders, this skill has become increasingly rare. Many fear that if they show vulnerability, they’ll project weakness or lose credibility. Yet research shows that those with intellectual humility have an advantage over those who rely upon ego and power, gaining influence and earning others’ respect and loyalty. Pink states that the best advice for developing it comes from Warren Beyer, author of “The Book of Beautiful Questions.” He suggests that to test our intellectual humility, we ask ourselves these four questions: 1. Do I think more like a soldier or a scout? A soldier is someone who defends positions; a scout explores new territory. 2. Would I rather be right, or would I rather be understood? The benefits of long-term knowledge are far more valuable than an initial, short-term victory. 3. Do I solicit and seek out opposing views? Say “Tell me if you disagree, and please explain why,” instead of asking, “Do you agree?” 4. Do I enjoy the pleasant surprise of discovering I’m mistaken? View being wrong not as a failure, but as a success: you just learned something new. #leadership #career #EQ …see more

Knowing how, where, and from whom you obtain your energy can make the difference between a career that soars and one that stagnates. Here’s how to identify your sources of positive energy—and fix those that are not—to create an environment of career success: 💥Get into the habit of asking yourself how you feel. Tap into your self-awareness to home in on your feelings about where you spend your time, what you’re doing, and with whom. We all have people, places, and activities that either bolster us or bog us down; it’s wise to get to know how each makes us feel. 💥Assess your current career environment. Once you’ve gotten into the habit of paying attention to the elements of your career environment (which includes your friends, colleagues, location, patterns, and lifestyle), you’ll begin to see that they impact you far more—for better or for worse—than you realize. It’s not just the who, but also the what, that you surround yourself with that can either propel you forward…or hold you back. 💥Adjust accordingly. Real career growth happens when we understand whom and what energizes us and best supports what we want, and then align ourselves with those people and places that do. #leadership #career …see more

Repeat after me: "our job title is not your brand" Saying that you're a CEO or a coach is not a brand, that's a job title. There are over 8.9M of CEO on LinkedIn, how are you different or unique? Same with coachess, there are over 6.2M on LinkedIn. Why should individuals pick you over Jerry or Jenny of the coaching world? Even Steve Jobs was known for being "Steve Jobs", he wasn't known for being CEO of Apple. He was known for being a product-led visionary. But if you want to build a personal brand, what is the unique selling point, your value prop, that you want to convey? Be known for something! Don't be known for your job title. Be known for helping 1000s of side hustlers becoming entrepreneurs. Be known for that kind of impact. Don't confuse your job title or even your identity as a personal brand. What do you want to be known for? What is your point of difference? Visualise yourself in 5 years and reverse engineer it. #stringspeed on #personalbranding on branding positioning …see more

The ongoing coronavirus epidemic differs from the SARS, MERS and the Ebola outbreaks of recent years from several aspects. On the one hand, the virus spreads much faster than other viruses of recent times (though its death rate is fortunately lower). On the other hand, the newest technologies facilitate unprecedented responsiveness and management - it almost seems like they just needed this push to show their full potential. In today's video, I show how digital health brings the fight against epidemics to a whole new level. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #health #healthy #video #youtube #studio #covid19 #covid #coronavirus #epidemic #epidemics …see more

I eat fast, I guess I bring it from my childhood when I couldn't sit down and stop even for a second. The HAPIfork is an electronic fork that vibrates when I eat too fast and shows a red light. It turns green when I can take the next fork serving. I know what you are thinking: freaking annoying! I'm always tempted to put it aside ("NOW I'm in a hurry"), even though I know it serves an important purpose: eat slowly - eat less - be healthier. So now I give it another try to make friends with it. Would you use such a tool for developing more conscious eating habits? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #health #healthy #fromchancetochoice #hapifork #smartfork #futureofeating #smartcutlery #smartkitchen …see more

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has formed a Task Force on A.I. and emerging digital technologies with the objective of helping the medical profession in Canada prepare for the profound changes coming quickly. As part of the Task Force’s engagement strategy, they reached out to me and asked for two calls where I answered their exciting questions about the future of medicine. I can only wish for every physician in the world to have such dedicated and knowledgeable people designing medical education for them. They know digital health is a cultural transformation of healthcare and they want to take action so every medical student and physician can prepare. I'll be happy to be available for them in the future too.
