I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called #Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Les Couleurs de Corse, Piana II #artgallery #artist #artwork #contemporaryart #creativityskills #ideas #creativity #fineart #visualart #illustration …see more

Facebook is starting to look desperate. Over the past weeks, the world's largest social network has taken out several full-page ads in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and the Washington Post. The ads attacked Apple's new privacy changes, which Facebook claims will severely hurt small businesses, and "will change the internet as we know it--for the worse." Facebook's recent desperation isn't surprising. It's the culmination of a series of events that began years ago, and that we've been building towards for a long time.

When Bill and Melinda Gates got married, Bill's parents gave the couple an interesting gift: a sculpture of two birds, sitting side by side, staring at the horizon. 24 years later, Melinda said the statue still sat in front of their house. "I think of it all the time," wrote Melinda back in 2018, "because fundamentally we're looking in the same direction." Seems that the Gates are still looking in the same direction. In addition to marriage and raising three children together, the two have worked together for years running their charitable organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. But any couple who's attempted to live and work together will testify that doing so isn't easy--especially when you throw children into the mix. How do they do it?

With the holiday season fast approaching and workplace burnout on the rise, getting employees to stay productive and focused on work is a huge challenge for managers this year. “Everything is happening in our homes — employees are monitoring their children, doing their day jobs and taking care of the cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping,” says Carson Tate, founder of Working Simply, a workplace productivity consulting firm. “That takes a toll, and it's very difficult to consistently show up as your best self when you feel pulled in multiple directions and don't feel like you have the support to concentrate.” To help employees move toward more focused and productive work, Tate suggests managers reassess traditional workplace practices like unscheduled meetings and last-minute deadlines, and create a more communicative environment for employees to express their goals.

We are all adjusting to our new work and life right now. And, if you are like me this adjustment has its ups and downs. Some days I am on fire – focused, productive and industrious. On other days I’m raiding the fridge every hour, checking my social media feeds constantly and planning my next virtual wine date with my girlfriends. Translation – I’m procrastinating. BUT, what I’ve learned is that procrastination is actually a powerful way to work smarter, not harder. Embrace it! Why? Because procrastination helps you cull your to do list!

Positive, happier people are more productive. According to Shawn Anchor in his TedTalk, if you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral or stressed.

Quite a lot of behaviors that we attribute to "young people" and consider to be "the future" because a generational cohort is growing up behaving that way.......are just behaviors of the young, and have always been that way. The idea young people are early adopters and the benchmark of what's next, is generally rather limited. Neobanking is an interesting demonstration. To what extent are (mainly) only young people doing it because. 1) They grow up into them and don't need to switch banks. 2) Only the young are targeted and designed for 3) The young just love new tech and new things. 4) The young don't have very demanding financial needs, don't need somewhere they can trust with massive savings, and don't need complex products like mortgages Most have assumed it's mainly 3. I'm pretty sure it's mainly 4. It is of course a mixture of all, but we'd be wrong to make decisions on the assumptions a whole generation of people will act like young people forever …see more
