Over the past decade, I’ve met and interviewed countless executives, managers, and entrepreneurs. These people built careers and businesses based on blood, sweat, and tears...but when it comes to work ethic and relationship building, not one of them could hold a candle to my mother-in-law. ("Mom" to me.) When Mom decided to leave a job cleaning the office of an executive at a major car manufacturer, his secretary begged her to stay. She trusted Mom immensely and had grown accustomed to their refreshing chats. That secretary never lost contact, periodically stopping by Mom’s home over the years to catch up over a cup of coffee. Even in her final hours, Mom was still making friends. She wouldn’t stop thanking the doctors and nurses working at her hospital station. She was amazed at their ability to remain positive, kind, and compassionate despite the nature of their job, in which they saw pain and suffering every day. They deserved recognition and appreciation. Mom helped give it to them. Of all the lessons Mom taught me through the years, this was the greatest: Cultivating meaningful relationships is hard work. But it’s more than worth the effort. #EmotionalIntelligence #BestAdvice #Empathy #Relationships #BestMomInLawEver #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

A lot of the new battles will be about which app we use to buy things. We will soon see what’s more like mega apps. Map apps, social apps , payment apps will all become key portals to the things we do Is it that we open Google Pay/ PayPal to buy clothes ? Or open Apple or Google maps to buy them? or we buy from relationships via Instagram/Pinterest Whatever is the case , brands are likely to be more vital than ever, but be the secondary navigation.
