Working from home – not what it used to be Technology has made telecommuting a viable option for many professionals. Indeed, in 2018 the average employee working out of her home office is 46 or older and earns more than someone in the same position who commutes each day. Take off the PJ’s, though. Your boss still may want to Skype you in on that meeting. …see more

Last week, I (virtually) sat down with Hint Inc. 's Kara Goldin to talk about everything brand in my new Forbes spotlight that features beloved brands, kind leaders, and social impact first products. I loved hearing how Kara made drinking water “less boring” and habit forming. Creating a beloved brand takes a leap of faith and a little flavor. Next up, Taylor Nieman , ex- Headspace Inc. , from Toucan shares how you can learn a new language just by browsing the web! 🐛 I'm looking to shine a spotlight on more community-first and social-impact driven brands in 2021. Pluses if they’re female-led, LGTBQIA+, and/or BIPOC. Know a special founder or leader you'd like for me to meet next? Tag or send me a message to nominate a positive leader you look up to and respect. 💛 …see more

It was great catching up with Peggy Liu , founder of JUCCCE—Joint US China Collaboration on Green Energy—and environmentalist dedicated to the greening of China. We had a chat at the World Economic Forum’s annual “Summer Davos” Conference in Dalian, China. Visit the JUCCCE website at http://www.juccce.org #china #worldeconomicforum #amnc19 …see more

What do you think: agree, disagree? Share your thoughts in the comments! (My most popular article on LinkedIn)

Many of us remember the first time we used an iPhone, the software felt magical, a beautiful feeling UI , every animation felt dynamic yet suble. Experiencing this app is the closest thing I’ve felt to that for a long time. I don’t care at all about the Voice or AI elements, but I love the idea of a SIMPLE beautiful user layer on top of messy systems below. I love the idea of one place to go for everything. And a place that stores my information so I don’t have to (I’m not paid to share stuff like this. I just get enthused when I see outstanding design ) …see more

Sometimes, just for a laugh, and because I’d learn a lot, I want to take a couple of genuinely exciting products from “as seen on tv” / infomercials and create DTC millennial branding, some lovely product shots, some social media ads, an instagram influenced or two, and see what happens. Just seen on tv is oddly the exact opposite of most DTC products, they are wacky but oddly differentiated and solve real consumer problems. Item one may be a portable, rechargeable LED lightstrip, with motion detectors. Anyone want to be part of this experiment ? …see more

This isn't your last chance to listen to this podcast, but let's pretend it is. False scarcity drives action.

Your #contentstrategy , social media and search teams all need to work together - and for that to happen, they all need to be on the same page about who you're actually working for. It's not you - it's your #customers . The customer is the focus point of all your marketing campaigns, and your teams need to know who your customers are and what they're looking for. Crafting the perfect set of Customer Profiles is an essential way to boost your #contentmarketing and achieve your marketing goals. …see more

To thrive in the age of the connected consumer, #marketers need to understand why “using” #socialmedia is a thing of the past. Today, it’s important to shift from a mindset of “using” social media to a mindset of adapting and thriving in an ecosystem where a highly #connectedconsumer is now the norm. …see more

Most of my train commute is spent working or writing. Which means I am beyond late to the podcast game. That said, two of my favorite thinkers on tech, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway , have gotten together to create the weekly podcast Pivot and I am hooked. I may not agree with everything they say but I love their thoughtful perspectives and often funny banter. You should check it out. #karaswisher #scottgalloway #pivotpodcast #podcasting …see more

A few days ago, I signed a publishing deal for my nonfiction book - Therapy Isn’t Just For White people! I’ve wanted this my whole life. While I am so proud and excited, I’m also feeling deeply sorrowful. This isn’t the way I planned to share, or announce this. When I started writing this book 6 months ago, I never would have imagined the deep collective trauma we’ve all experienced over the past few months. This isn’t just a book I want to write, this is a book I have to write. Storytelling is, and has always been, the highest form of spiritual practice in my own life. As I process and heal authentically and painfully through my own words, my prayer is that this book will set other people free to do the same ❤️ The attached is a note from second grade teacher! When you see gifts in children - plant seeds, and call them out! …see more

I actually think this time last year was the moment I finally grew into my authentic self. And it only took 57 years. Nothing has felt more dramatic and momentous than the seconds before I started moderating a panel at the 2019 #AspenIdeasHealth Festival. I clearly put tremendous pressure on myself to not totally screw things up, and thank God I came through for me. My journey with The Aspen Institute has been beyond amazing. I’m looking forward to the virtual 2020 Aspen Ideas Festival next week. #AspenHealthyCommunities #AspenNewVoices #globalhealth #healthequity #healthcareaccess …see more

Bravo to AMREF for offering free fistula repair surgery in #Kenya . After my visit to the fistula hospital in Borama, #Somaliland , I understand the completely devastating impact that fistulas have on women's lives. #globalhealth #womenshealth #reproductivehealth #HealthForAll …see more

During my first 24 hours in #Somaliland, I have witnessed the end of a Caesarean section and cooed at numerous newborns, including one who was born with most of his internal organs on the outside of his body. He celebrated his birth day by having major surgery, and he’s doing fine now. What will 6 days in Somaliland reveal? I’m hoping lots of insights into the maternal health challenges that are shared by women globally—in both developing and “rich” nations. #ICantWaitToFindOut #natgeotraveller #globalhealth #maternalhealth #childhealth #healthreporter #HealthForAll …see more
