Inventory stock outs plague brick and mortar retailers — knowing what items are where and replacing or replenishing them, can be a painstaking task. Martin Hitch, co-founder of Bossa Nova Robotics , tells me that automating all this, with #robots in the aisles, can pinpoint problems on shelves before they become pain points — leaving time for staff to do what they do best: Interacting with other humans. Take inventory. Details: https://bit.ly/2lEYGYk …see more

Just Checking in... How are you doing today? Me: A solid Ok! I’ve got a lot to work on which is good. Everyone in my immediate circle is healthy. My head drifts into overwhelmed and OMG is the world gonna end sometimes and then it goes away. I distract myself! I have already eaten thru all the big bags of chips that were supposed to last a few weeks. #feelingaccomplished Okay that happened in the 1st 4 days! My son and husband have adjusted to me being home all the time and make snarky comments about when they will have their space back. They are used to me being gone a lot! 💯 Virtual work seems to be working. Taking each day as it comes and looking for positives within the chaos. #cpa #accountingfirm #theradicalcpa Would love ❤️ to hear how you are today? …see more

Gratitude from Venmo to her and to our awesome community! #humanity #kindness …see more

Every year, I have a small, lightweight offsite with my LT to plan for the year ahead. The best thing that came out of yesterday's was our top team tenet: "We build great people, not just great software"

When it comes to positive behavior change, the issue isn't that we don't know what to do. Think about this for just a second 👇 You know which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy. You know what goes into maintaining a fulfilling friendship. You know how to be a good partner. And if for some reason there's something you don't know? Google is free! Unlike previous generations of humans, we information is everywhere. The reason we struggle to change our bad habits is that we can't stop getting in our own way. This is why becoming Indistractable is so important... The uncomfortable emotional states of loneliness, anxiety, and stress can push us to make unproductive decisions start from within. The issue isn't that we have innate character flaws, the issue is that most people haven't learned the skills to deal with emotional discomfort in a healthy way! Until we learn to address the root causes, we'll continue to struggle with distraction. #Indistractable #Health #Change #Adaptation …see more

How can we stay productive in a time when things are constantly changing? In a recent interview with Alexandra Dempsey , this was one of the questions I set out to answer. Some of the things we covered were: • A few incredibly helpful apps that help us use the internet on our own terms • Some of the things I’ve learned working from home throughout the years • And more! I’ve included a link to the interview in the comments section! How have you adapted to working from home and fighting distraction? #Indistractble #Productivity #WFH #Behavior …see more

Have you ever searched for a specific YouTube video in order to avoid distraction… and ended up down a video content rabbit hole?

Triggering the LinkedIn Algorithm I'm working on the outline for my monthly circle catchup. Each month, my annual members of #TheTrustedCircle catch up where they share their wins and focus. They also learn something new. So, I'm pretty excited for July's session. I share the latest trends and they often ask me how to trigger the LinkedIn Algo-god. I will be sharing my research, tactics and tools with my inside circle members. Interested in being part of The Trusted Circle? We help leaders and professionals build visibility and their brand on LinkedIn. As part of the annual membership, we have a monthly circle catchup, it happens on the first Thursday of each month.

How to be a better human online... I'm driven by a selfish desire for us to be better as a society. This includes how we are online. I like to share why I continue to create content and share knowledge here on LinkedIn (and on the interwebs). 1. To make information digestibly-valuable. Content should be focused. Every time you read or watch, I want you to consume information so you can leave learning something new. Your attention is what I appreciate and I want to return it with deliciously consumable tidbits. 2. To be a Personable, Authentically-Human The best types of humans are curious about life and hunger for knowledge, and great connections. When we learn and share knowledge, it's to level up our thinking and be better as an individual and as a society. 3. Learn and Level-Up Ironically, I'm a better student now. Likely it's because I've found my purpose. The more we align with our purpose, the more we can reach peak creativity. Also, the best way to learn is to teach. So learn to teach and teach to learn. This is who I am and what I do. What drives you? #stringtheory on #personalbranding #learning …see more
