Whether you're getting clients or job, having a brand will help you stand out. Me...growing to 41k followers is by no accident. Nor it was an overnight success. Using video and creating regular content has enabled me to be a trusted voice on LinkedIn. Having a strong brand opened many doors of opportunities: Like becoming a brand ambassador for Lenovo APAC. You can start now. It's never too late to grow and be your own trusted voice. Even now, I'm expanding to YouTube and Instagram. Your voice, Your wisdom, Your experience is what makes you. Don't let the fear or lack of time stop you from sharing you online. If you're not visible, someone else will get that light, will get that recognition, will get that job. It's up to you to stand out and become more visible on LinkedIn. If you need a starting point, here's a 101 guide on personal branding (see the comments below). Agree? Comment below - what kind of brand do you want to be on LinkedIn? #stringtheory on #personalbranding #digitalmarketing …see more

Building your personal brand is power... Yes, power. It attracts: 🍗 customers and clients 🍗 community (who wants to work with you) 🍗 audience (who wants to consume your knowledge) And control. It allows you: 🍗 build your own business 🍗 Or a side hustle while working in a 9-5 job 🍗 Or land you that job you want Building a brand allows you to stand out. An important part of branding is understanding your niche market. For example, anyone can be a coach. But what's your speciality? What results would you bring? Why should they come to you? What industry do you want to position yourself? For example, Sales is a super broad horizontal. What's your special thing, your niche, your vertical? B2B Saas? Mega Enterprise Deals? Be specific. Being too broad also dilutes your brand. So how does fried chicken relate to all this? Well, when you eat a piece of 🍗, you think of me. Then you think, "OMG, String is so good at marketing". #stringtheory on #personalbranding #b2b #motivation #digitalmarketing …see more

Ugh, service jobs? Don’t most service jobs offer low pay, casual shifts and next-to-no opportunity? No, actually. The fact is, many service sector jobs pay well and are practically immune to automation or offshoring.

How many young people need to be killed or injured in America's schools before we address this situation, including the access to weapons by those who seem to misuse them?  I get the 2nd Amendment.  Can't we restrict ammunition amounts sold?  Can't we look at other nations? And the aftermath for students, teachers and families is hard -- filled with memories that are etched. If schools and churches (and other religious venues) aren't safe, where is it safe? And, for the record, making schools armed camps is not good for anyone -- who can learn in an environment that looks and feels like a prison.  And, without security, there is fear too.   Were I guessing, we need many more counselors -- mental health counselors for troubled students and surviving students, teachers, parents and administrators. We must do better.  We have to do better.  As educators, we must take a collective stand. How sad, too, that it is Valentine's Day -- ruined for those there forever. …see more

Words of wisdom from the mastermind of product, Reid Hoffman : "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late."

Virtual Visits: Friend or Foe? Technology-enabled healthcare is here to stay, and growing. No question that telehealth visits, remote patient monitoring, point-of-care testing is the start of a much larger—and rapidly growing—area of development. And while many are bullish on the vast benefits of digital care including reaching people who can’t access healthcare or where healthcare is scarce, or in conflict zones, it turns out to have very real limitations. Not surprisingly gaps in equity and access show-up even in this ‘virtual’ healthcare model too. (Gaps access and equity are well documented in ‘the real-world’ of health care.) According to researchers at UCSF, virtual visits require patients to have the knowledge and capacity to get online, operate and troubleshoot audiovisual equipment and it requires internet service and cell phones or other devices. But more than a third of adults over age 65 face potential difficulties seeing their doctor via telemedicine, with the greatest challenges experienced by older, low-income men in remote or rural areas, especially those with disabilities or poor health. Buyer beware... Selected Excerpt: “Telemedicine is not inherently accessible, and mandating its use leaves many older adults without access to their medical care.” …see more

Culture Eats Consumerism for Lunch While ‘Consumerism’ is all the range in healthcare, moving beyond the slogans to the real-world of strategy development and implementation—and measurement—is still in its infancy. Why? Even though many technologies are mature enough to demonstrate real value, getting people within organizations to change from their old ways is hard. The biggest challenges to innovation is not the technical aspect of intraoperability or, realizing a return on investment, but rather on the necessary adoption, implementation and change management that goes hand-in-glove with innovation. I do a lot of change management so I consider myself to be an “Organizational Culturalist.” As an Organizational Culturalist, I function like a medical anthropologist helping organizations develop and implement technology adoption roadmaps. If ‘culture’ is the biggest barrier, then it’s time to think of culture like anthropologists rather than technologists. Selected Excerpt: "Everybody thinks the only way you can innovate is to have some technological advance," he said. "We're finding a lot of innovations can occur without the use of technology but with changing the team and changing the thinking." …see more

Attention. Time. Empathy: 3 essential things e-patients expect from healthcare and medical professionals. These are also the fundamental values of healthcare, which seem to stay with us infinitely. Our interviews have shown that cooperation between technology and healthcare is not enough on its own: the most decisive factor is the return of the human touch and reciprocal communication. All of these suggest that technology is an important ally in the ‘renaissance of medicine’ that starts to treat patients as it should have always had. Our vision is to be able to provide this for patients in the future, while being surrounded with cutting edge, invisible technology. This publication backs up our vision, feel free to read our research and findings! #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology …see more
