Why do I have community pollinator in my headline? It started with hiking and poison oak! ⛰ 🌱 Here’s the story: I met Danna Breen a couple months ago during Easter Sunday while hiking in Portola Valley. Danna, a stranger at the time, was walking her dogs when she noticed the unfortunate situation: I was sitting on poison oak (hmm.. yikes?! 😬). Instead of being a passive bystander, Danna took it upon herself to warn and help me out. We stayed in touched since, and she even joined the Zero to Infinity community and participated in our mindfulness summer initiative! Last month, Danna was kind enough to invite me to her home and break bread with her family! Her story of compassion and community pollination was so humbling and kind that she (deservingly so) made it on the cover of The Almanac! Thanks for all that you do for the community, Danna! 😇 So next time when you see a stranger in need of help, be the positive light of change and extend a helping hand! 💙 …see more

My semi annual reminder that I believe "Disruption" has never been about technology, it's been about imagination. It has been about challenging assumed constraints and assumed wisdom. In the classic sensed and defined use of the world "Disruption" doesn't explain..... -Tesla - iPhone -Uber -Airbnb -Venmo -Tinder - DJI Drones - Sonos Amazon, Dyson, WeWork,Juul, Instacart, Magic Leap, RobinHood, Oyo, Roku, Klarna, Lemonade, IKEA, Monzo, Bird, Peloton, Oscar, SmileDirect, and basically every single interesting company that we consider disruptive. Neither does technology explain them. They are only and entirely around understanding that a changing world changes the physics of business and the patterns of consumer behavior and these are the companies with people either optimistic, audacious, imaginative or naive enough to do that. …see more

We are coming up to another election where both sides are convinced their party is going to win and that it’s clear from the media and their friends that they will win. One side is going to fail to learn again. And we won’t take this moment to rethink media and algorithms and comment boards that are tearing us apart.

Pretty impressed that Google thinks I learned Thai on the flight over here, all websites default to it with Thai ads. We worry companies know too much about us, I'd rather they knew more and used it.

"...a culture of #empathy isn't some hippie, new age notion of employees feeling better at work. It's about all of us finding meaning in the everyday tasks we perform. It's about attaching ourselves to a vision of something bigger." Congrats on launching your new book, Michael Brenner ! #businessbook #readinglist …see more

RE: #wayfairwalkout and any company not "wanting to get political," I think it's important to separate the polarizing concept of politics from a company's ethics. Here is a statement from Highlights for Children that provides a blueprint for how to be clear about those ethics: "This is not a political statement about immigration policy. This is a statement about human decency." https://lnkd.in/eTj8x52 #Wayfair workers walk off the job. …see more

Wonderful news... #Kenya ’s first human milk bank at Pumwani Maternity Hospital. I visited Pumwani 8 years ago, and my heart broke at the conditions I observed. So encouraged to note this crucial recognition of the need for the best nutrition for newborns at Pumwani, which serves some of the poorest women in the region.

Ahead of PM Theresa May's Brexit speech today - look at the "pounding" of the British currency since the vote to leave the EU.

The Assam Bill is NOT a repeat of the 2010 Andhra Pradesh law, which almost killed the microfinance industry. Assam's share in micro lending in 2021 is a fraction of what AP's was back then. And here banks too are present in a big way... #banks #MFIs #Microloans #financialinclusion #financialservices #microfinance #interestrates #debt #debtcollection …see more

It all started so well. 🍝 I eagerly loaded my place with luscious strings of goodness, topping them with a delectable meatball set in a pool of red sauce. All that stood between me and my pasta was the three feet between the stove and the dinner table. But in that longest yard, something terrible happened. It turned out freshly cooked noodles weren’t just delicious; they were wet. And wet spaghetti was slippery. You know those paper towels commercials where a kid unexpectedly spills something, and everything starts to move in slo-mo as their eyes widen with fear?😱 Yeah, that’s what I looked like as I clutched my plate and watched my dinner slide right off it and on to the floor. Not once. Not twice. But three times. (Yes, really.) No matter how carefully I reloaded, it was déjà vu all over again.🤦🏼‍♀️ The “spaghetti incident” (as it’s known in my family) was a teachable moment (and no, not about how awkward teenagers and slippery dinners don’t go together). It’s easy to fall into this trap in your #career too. You become stuck in old habits or mindlessly go do the same things over and over again, expecting a different result.🤪 If you got my latest #IlluminateMe newsletter, you’d know what to do instead.

I'm inspired by those who have shared gratitude with #GiveThanks and wanted to share my own. I had knee surgery this week and it ended up affecting me more significantly than I expected a small/routine operation to. You never appreciate what you have until it's gone. Last night I laid in bed wishing that I could roll over to a more comfortable position because my knee hurt and it made me realize how grateful I am for a body that works so well. I'm thankful that in the next week, I'll be able to roll over to get more comfortable. After the new year, I'll be able to go for a run! I know not everyone has been blessed with the same circumstance, and I'm acutely aware of this currently. I'm adding this to my gratitude journal. What are you grateful for? …see more
