Maria Menounos has two stories. Her career story and her brain tumor story. I asked about both. She’s accomplished so much. You’ve seen her on E! News, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood and the list goes on. “If i introduced you, it would take the full hour,” I said. And soon we were talking about her fight with cancer, her surgery, and taking time off to be well. …see more

Your brain is a terrible to-do list. Don’t ask it to do something it is not designed to do. The less you try to hold in your mind at once, the better.

Just within 24 hours of announcing my TEDx video, I've received hundreds of emails, comments, and shares on how the talk is inspiring them to be more invested and thoughtful in designing their personal brand. If you haven't had the chance, give it a watch and share it if you found it helpful (and tag me). Thanks to everyone who has taken time to watch and share the talk! Some ideas from the talk that resonated with people: "Personal branding is ... the representation of the best of you. Your flaws, your triumphs, your challenges but also your successes as well." "A personal brand is the intersection of perception and reality and that you must be the heart and epicenter of your personal brand." "Personal branding should be authentic and not just a perception." "I really loved the 50-30-20 [mentorship] rule." …see more

The color blue means a lot to us at McKinsey, but at the moment we’re excited about another color entirely. We’re thrilled to announce that our new visual identity, rolled out this February, has been recognized with a 2019 Red Dot Award in the category of Brand & Communication Design. Its most prominent components feature an updated script mark, a new graphic element we call the Partnership Mark, a bespoke typeface, a high-contrast color palette, and a revamped approach to data visualization and photography. The Red Dot Award, which works “in search of good design and creativity,” is one of the largest design competitions in the world and perhaps the most prestigious. For the Brand & Communications competition, 24 international design experts viewed and evaluated almost 9,000 entries from around the globe. Click the link in the comments for more info about this special award. Congratulations to my colleagues, Peter Dahlstrom, Steve John, Jane Goehring, Elliot Cravitz, Kevin Drennan, and Lana Markovic, who led this initiative. #McKinsey #branding #design #designthinking …see more

I really wish all the effort spent on GDPR was actually spent on anti-spam. It's odd this assumption we care enormously about our privacy, and the lack of focus on safeguarding our attention and time. ..... There is almost zero evidence people care that much about privacy. We upload our most personal images to social media, share our innermost thoughts, we review places we've been to. Most "personal data* ends up trying to sell us a new kettle or flights from a nearby airport, or suggests us other shoes, do we really care that much? Maybe sharing more would be helpful† We should be far more concerned by companies harassing us with emails constantly, with a media ecosystem paid for by clicks that incentivize outrage, with algorithms designed to tear us apart, with news stories that ask worrying questions in headlines, rather than provide information or reassurance. *Healthcare/payment data is a huge exception †It's a fun thought experiment to imagine a world where companies knew almost everything about us. It's possible to see how that could generally be more helpful …see more

Never forget it's in virtually all companies to make outlandish predictions like this. Just think of the total nonsense we had to endure do with: - Bots - 3D printing - Self driving cars being imminent. - Voice - Drone delivery. Please let's bring some skepticism to the table. It was never hard to see that voice wasn't going to change things fast, you just had to use it for 2 mins. https://lnkd.in/e243zfR …see more

It's always crazy to me people can put out graphs of future trends with only one data point and the rest are estimated. Especially when it goes entirely against general trend lines and with no explanation. If small businesses continue to grow?? .......then how come fewer companies are being set up each year and the percentage of the population working in them declines each each? Not also that the failure rate of companies is not faster than ever as many say but pretty much the same as always. …see more

As the 2017 Journalism and Women Symposium (JAWS) Conference and Mentoring Project comes to a close, I'm overwhelmed by emotions and inspiration. This year's Camp fueled me in a surprisingly welcome way. Three incredibly dynamic young African American women journalists have achieved extraordinary success by using their skills and passion to empower others. Keynote speaker Nikole Hannah-Jones gave a moving description of her journey in a profession where she was told repeatedly that she didn't belong. She's now a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and a 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant Recipient. She has also launched the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting, which provides training support for women journalists of color. Award winning @KQED journalist Tonya Mosley Benjamin teamed with NYT OpEd Editor Jenee Desmond-Harris for an impressive, exhilarating conversation about how bias affects our worldview and our reporting. These women are my newest role models. #jaws17 #women #journalism #mentoring …see more

Kudos to Wealthfront and other #fintechs for offering much higher #savings account rates than traditional #banks .

The US-China #tradewar and now the war on #Huawei have changed the behavior of American companies and consumers - they are buying less from China and more from the rest of the world.

Because of Social Security and Medicare, big US #deficits already coming. Can we afford #Trump tax cuts and infrastructure spend?

The upgrade of the offsite surveillance system is welcome, but it should not have coincided with the dilution of the rigour of onsite examination.
