As a Behavioral Psychologist, it saddens me to see people who know what they should be doing, but are unable to follow through. Maintaining intentional focus is difficult at a time when seemingly all products is designed to put our attention in a proverbial choke hold, but there is hope. Read my article on why we are unable to focus and how to get (and stay) focused! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ …see more

You possess a simple yet profoundly powerful way to instantly improve your #career : smiling. Here’s why: 1️⃣ It puts others at ease. When you smile, you help others feel more relaxed in your presence, which makes them more receptive to you and your ideas. 2️⃣ It makes you magnetic. Smiling draws people to you, making it easier to connect with others, whether fostering team collaboration or forging a new business partnership. 3️⃣ It inspires confidence and trust. Smiling and maintaining a positive attitude makes those around you believe in your abilities and your trustworthiness. 4️⃣ It’s good for you. When you smile, your brain releases neurotransmitters that improve your mood, relieve stress, lower your blood pressure, and boost your immune system. And when we feel good, tend to be more productive. 5️⃣ It makes you more creative. The dopamine that’s released when we smile is involved in learning, processing, and decision-making, and allows for heightened creativity related to problem-solving and artistic endeavors. 6️⃣ It’s contagious. When you flash a smile at the office, others pick up on your positive emotions. Mirror neurons fire and cause them to mimic your actions, creating a ripple effect of kindness that spreads throughout an organization. #leadership …see more

Self-awareness isn't just about knowing how you move through the world; it’s about knowing how your energy affects others. Everything is connected—your interactions with other people, how they perceive you, your attitude, and your responses to them in the moment—and all can be enhanced through better self-awareness. Here’s how to become more selfless with your self-awareness: Don’t assume that you know how others perceive you. What we think we’re projecting and how others are receiving our energy can be two very different things. To bridge the gap, seek the input of others. Press the pause button. Our never-ending activity often leaves us feeling stressed, and we can’t help but bring that negativity with us in our interactions with others. But by regularly hitting the proverbial pause button, you’ll allow yourself a few moments to reset. Be intentional. Before you head into a team huddle, begin a pitch, or meet with a client, make a conscious choice about what energy you want to project and then do that. Hone your powers of observation. How aware of you of others and your environment? The best way to increase your powers of observation is to pay attention. (And spoiler alert, you can’t effectively do that when you’re multi-tasking.) #leadership …see more

4 Tricks To Get More Eyeballs On Your LinkedIn Content First, let me share a few things that will contribute to low engagement: 1. Sharing links (it diminishes views) 2. Quote photos (it's superficial value) 3. Having a low connection count 4. Posting once a month 5. Giving up too easily Cool, now that we got that out the way. Here are 4 tricks to get you more eyeballs 1. Be a channel known for a topic 2. Be a voice of authority 3. Create interesting content regularly 4. Create conversations (and polarise opinions) Sorry (not so sorry), I tricked you to think creating high engagement is easy. It's a bit of a science. The algorithm is layers of complexity that considers: Posting of volume * type of content * velocity of engagement Even if you tagged like crazy. Commented like crazy. Posted like a crazy. You still need to do one thing. Post and keep posting. Don't give up after one bad post. Post and refine your voice. Be the trusted voice. Follow String Nguyen .

Ep. 195: Josh Foer – The Explorer’s Code "My only job each day is to explore something new": http://bit.ly/2gNJJMH

I've tested a myriad of ECG devices that patients can use at home. From Kardia to Viatom Checkme Pro, I've seen a range of hardware and app interfaces. As on the photo, AliveCor Inc. obviously stands out. Whenever I mention such technologies in my talks, I get colleagues asking me why a patient would record an ECG at home. I keep on telling them that identifying arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation can be life-saving and that we cannot wait to get checked once every few years at the point-of-care. We want to be the point-of-care. And then this comprehensive study comes out: Screening for Atrial Fibrillation and the Role of Digital Health Technologies It really covers every issue around the subject. It doesn't promote digital health blindly but concludes that while such devices might be used to increase the ease and specificity of screening for AF compared to traditional methods, it still requires further studies. Check it out, it's available in open access. https://lnkd.in/dAR7pwf #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #sensor #study …see more

A.I. will not replace medical professionals and empathy; and will certainly not make medical decisions alone. Yesterday, I just listed 7 things we can definitely expect A.I. will be capable of. Now it's time to see the downside of the same story so I described 7 things we certainly cannot expect A.I. to do in medicine and healthcare in the future. Have I missed something? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence …see more
