I’m sick and tired of listening to people BRAG about how LITTLE sleep they get each night. NO. It’s not cool operating at half efficiency or stressing your body out to the lengths of incurable disease and cancer… Everyone’s body is different – requiring different diets and hours of rest. Personally, with my neurological deterioration, if I don’t get eight hours of sleep, I get nauseous, dizzy, fatigued, clumsy, and more… It feels like a college hangover, without the fun night with friends. Tip 9 in my #10Tips10Days series to be a BETTER, HEALTHIER, more FULFILLED professional... is to rest up! I LOVE SLEEP! How many hours of rest does your body need to operate at full capacity? Are you making sleep a priority for your overall success? Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup! 1️⃣ Be Present – Find your anchor to remind you. 2️⃣ Reminisce – Don’t let happy memories go to waste! 3️⃣ Acknowledge – Acknowledge the invisible. 4️⃣ Neuroplasticity – Think positive thoughts for every negative one. 5️⃣ Compliment – Give kind notes often. 6️⃣ Pause – Practice deep breathing exercises. 7️⃣ Reflect – Remember how far you’ve come. 8️⃣ Smile – It does funny things to your brain! #Leadership #Fulfillment #HealthandWellness #SelfCare #ChantelShares #Disability #Happiness …see more

If you're a football (soccer) fan, add this to the list of highly-unthinkables becoming reality.

‪the future of transactions: letting the light through but not the eyes.‬ ‪the future of payments: zero physical interactions & absence of digital friction.‬

How can you continue showing empathy to others without burning yourself out? The key is balance. Let’s say your spouse comes home after a bad day at work. But you had a horrible day, too. You feel in no shape to offer comfort or empathy; in fact, you’re craving it yourself. In this situation, you might say something like: “I’m so sorry to hear you had a tough day; mine was really bad, too. Can we just take some time to relax (or exercise, or have a nice dinner together)? Maybe later we can go for a walk and talk about it all.” This type of response clearly states your own needs while kindly addressing the needs of your partner. And while it only takes a few seconds to say, it can greatly affect how the next few hours, or even days, play out. You can read more about developing emotionally intelligent empathy in Ch 5 of my new book, "EQ Applied: The Real-World Guide to Emotional Intelligence": https://amzn.to/2sxFLho #Empathy #EmotionalIntelligence #BestAdvice #leadership #management #relationships #PersonalDevelopment #EQ #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

Amy Chapman’s 3,166-day exercise streak is a case study in how fitness can become a part of your life.

Spent the past few days building my #brainpower around the most urgent #globalhealth issues related to #COVID19 . Thanks to Pathfinder International and Women in Global Health for convening a discussion about the need for women’s leadership in policy development and #coronavirus response. Next, The Aspen Institute ’s webinar, led by Alice Lin Fabiano of Johnson & Johnson #GlobalHealth gave me some terrific insights into the additional challenges faced by #nurses and #midwives during the pandemic, and featured one of my favorite people, 2019 Aspen Healthy Communities Fellow Jennie Joseph of #CommonSenseChildbirth in Orlando. Finally, it felt like a 4 am family reunion this morning as I joined the #Nairobi -based AMREF webinar about covering #thecoronavirus on the African continent. Big thanks to Lizz Ntonjira, DipCIPR for coordinating the discussion led by Dr. Githinji Gitahi of #AMREF and featuring Anne Mawathe , BBC News Africa’s Health Editor Verah Vashti Okeyo , #globalhealth reporter for Nation Media Group and @Sikopo Arthur of SABC .

Excited to launch my new Interesting People in Interesting Times podcast featuring live talks from the IPIT events in NYC -- a forum for discovery and debate with provocative thinkers, great ideas and bold new thinking. For our first episode, we spotlight Andrew Yang, tech entrepreneur, author, and founder of Venture for America, who is running for president as a Democrat in 2020. Andrew talks about the very real and immediate threat of artificial intelligence, how new technologies are erasing millions of jobs before our eyes, and why we need to put humanity first -- or face a future that's going to look like either Mad Max or Star Trek. He also addresses "the big four" and what he plans to do about Amazon. For Android people try this.  https://lnkd.in/dnN-tVu …see more

Thank you  David S. Campbell  on being willing to serve in your new role with Mayor Tim Keller . We're fortunate to have someone with your experience and expertise shepherding our city's future planning and development.

i assume the title of this article is misleading. both insurers are probably angling towards clearing claims in a blockchain, but not settle them, that is “pay” them.

On dissent, challenging the status quo, and voicing exceptional truths: "If one person voices what everyone else is thinking, what was initially a minority opinion can quickly become the majority." Article via Lawrence Yeo, h/t Nir Eyal "This highlights the big difference in marginal value between a consensus opinion, and a dissenting one. Whereas each additional consensus voice doesn’t make much impact, a single dissenting voice has the power to bring the entire argument down. 10 people all saying the same thing is far less interesting than the 1 person that has a reasonable, opposing view." …see more

One of the main reasons our company has grown as fast as it has is because the story is not about us. It's about the people that we empower. I took a meeting yesterday with someone and he said something along the lines of "the reason I love you guys so much is because I identify with the idea of being a 'misfit'. That's been my entire life." The story isn't about me. It's not about the team. It's about the community. Just something to think about as you're building your companies/communities/brands. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more
