FEELING HEARD. The power (or lack thereof) of your mobile device (cellular phone). What psychological message are you sharing? It's not the 'importance' of having the mobile device, or the brand of phone on display, but it is about showing respect, a dedicated focus, and the non-verbal message you are disseminating, by having your device on display, or in hand (i.e., buzzing, flashing, ringing, beeping), especially during customer and team meetings. Sometimes... Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell a story about, and a perception of you. So... what psychological message do you want encoded or shared?

The Data Deluge: Understanding How Our Brains Process Information Recent studies have revealed a staggering statistic: the average person today processes up to 74 GB of information daily. This amount is equivalent to watching 16 movies each day, consumed through a myriad of sources such as TV, computers, smartphones, tablets, and even billboards. What's more alarming is that this volume increases by about 5% each year. To put this into perspective, just 500 years ago, a highly educated individual would have consumed the same amount of information over a lifetime through books and storytelling. The advent of smartphones and tablets has fundamentally altered our relationship with information. We now find ourselves in a constant state of distraction, rapidly shifting our attention from one task to another. This environment challenges our brain's ability to maintain selective attention, which is critical for processing important information. It's essential to debunk the myth of multitasking. Contrary to popular belief, the human brain is not designed to efficiently handle multiple activities simultaneously. This limitation may seem like a drawback, but it actually serves a vital purpose: it enables us to prioritize and focus on potential threats in our environment. As we navigate this information-rich landscape, it’s crucial to recognize the implications of our consumption habits on our cognitive abilities and overall well-being. By understanding how our brains work, we can develop strategies to enhance our focus and manage the overwhelming influx of data in our daily lives. Let’s prioritize quality over quantity and reclaim our attention in an age of distraction. #Productivity #WorkStrategy #TimeManagement #Efficiency #GoalSetting #Mindfulness #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #SmartWorking

The biggest lie we tell ourselves is: Our decisions are logical. All the decisions we make in life about ➝Career ➝Money ➝Place of living Come from a place of emotion. The part of our brain making decisions, runs on emotion. While our logical brain comes up with a story, to turn that emotion into logic. In short, We build stories to make our emotional decisions seem rational. Which is why Apple is nicknamed as a jewelry company. Apple doesn't sell technology, it sells emotions with the help of stereotypes. How? The story they sell is: ➝ If you’re rich, people will like you. ➝ With an iPhone you can look rich. ➝ People will like you if you have an iPhone. This can be applied to men’s deodorants as well. ➝ Women like good smell. ➝ Our deo smells good. ➝ Women will like you if you use our deo. It sounds simplistic when broken down. But then, most stereotypes work like that. They sell because they target our most basic emotion — the need for VALIDATION. So if you want to sell something, say, a pen. You can do it like this. ➝ People admire smartness. ➝ Writing with a pen in the world of smartphone addiction makes you look smart. ➝ People will like you if you use our pen. This cheat code can be used to sell almost everything. To Recap: ➝ Identify the emotion you want to use. (Validation, FOMO) ➝ Find a stereotype to go with it. ➝ Build a simple story on it. 📌PS. Which other companies are selling emotions instead of products? #branding #personalbranding

Let’s talk about Steve Jobs for a sec. 😎 When he launched the iPhone in 2007, it wasn’t just the tech—it was the way he made people believe in it before they even touched it. This ability to get people to believe in something so deeply and passionately, that it almost felt like it was already real, is what we now call the "Reality Distortion Field". So, how can YOU apply this in your own world? 🤔 When you communicate—whether in a meeting, pitch, or casual chat—don’t just share information. Instead, sell the vision. 🔮 Create a future where your ideas or products are already game-changers. Help your audience feel like they’re already living in that future, even if it’s still a work in progress. This is how Steve Jobs got people to line up for the iPhone—even before they knew exactly what it could do. He didn’t just communicate features; he communicated the impact. 💥 So here’s a thought: What if you could start using your own Reality Distortion Field in your conversations? By focusing on the transformation you can bring, you make people believe they’re already experiencing the results you’re offering. ✨ Next time you communicate, think about how you can inspire belief in your audience—not just inform them. After all, the most powerful communication isn’t about facts—it’s about vision. 🌟 Who’s ready to create their own Reality Distortion Field? 🙌 Let me know in the comments! 👇 #impactcommunication #communication #personalmastery #vision #belief #confidence #distortion

I saw this post from Kaitlin Bible and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. Using her example of being accessible 24/7, I can see why someone would think that doing this behavior is a good thing. They believe that they will be/are a team player, a good employee and are embodying the mission and vision of the company, they are also moving the company forward, they are dependable, loyal, service oriented, always got your back, they are selfless, just to name a few. Subconsciously or consciously, I believe there is a scenario possibly playing in their head of what could happen to them or to their colleagues, or what could happen to the customer if they weren't reachable all the time: the project would be put on hold, business would become stagnant and lose momentum, client would get upset and possibly terminate contract or deal, you'd lose customer loyalty, and it's supposed they could turnaround and tell everyone not to buy your service or product therefore putting the business at risk of crumbling. So to avoid that they must fire you or your whole team. All of which you could've been prevented if you did just answer that email, or picked up that phone, or did that last task before you left the office or closed your laptop. This is an extreme example for sure, but do you see the thought process here? I think there is also this unsaid belief that if a client/guest/customer even has one negative experience, then it's over OR the level of customer loyalty has now decreased and they are more prone to not want to do business with you in the future. They will never come back. In a workplace setting, colleagues are less likely to trust you, confide in you, or want to work with you, creating a negative environment and experience for creativity and collaboration. You really think that? After one experience?? Now that may have happened in real life. But don't see the pressure that puts on others and yourself?? It's like they or you were waiting for them to screw up even the slightest to reject service or project, or in a workplace setting find something to give feedback about. No wonder why anxiety, stress, and depression has increased so much? We are all playing this game "what can I do to prevent this from happening?" AND also no wonder why customers and this younger generation of employees and students and youth are so entitled. Do you see a connection here? Here's the challenge: Redefine what a positive experience truly means. Maybe it's empowered employees who can unplug and recharge, returning with fresh ideas. Perhaps it's valuing quality over quantity in our interactions with clients. The question isn't whether we can deliver a positive experience, but how. Can we achieve exceptional results while fostering a culture of well-being? Let's break free from the "always on" mentality. Thank you for reading my TED talk :) #boundaries #worklifeharmony #stress #depression #anxiety #perfectionist #unrealisticexpectations #workculture

In my work with students, I’ve had countless conversations about the impact of screen time. Some share that they spend 10+ hours a day on their phones, often scrolling through social media. When we talk about how it makes them feel, I hear a lot about anxiety, distraction, and the pressure to constantly compare themselves to others. It’s a hard cycle to break. I’ve seen how this reliance on screens spills over into other parts of their lives; relationships, academics, even their confidence in planning for the future. It’s not just about the hours on their phones; it’s about how those hours shape how they see themselves and the world. Hearing their stories reinforces how important it is for all of us educators, parents, and legislators to ask thoughtful questions and listen to what young people need vs. want. How do we help them balance the digital world with real-life connection and mental clarity? How do we support their growth into resilient leaders who can thrive in a world shaped by technology? These conversations matter, and they need to continue. For anyone interested, Jonathan Haidt in “The Anxious Generation” offers some great insights into what’s happening and what we can do.

Steve Jobs who started Apple said there was 1 thing all leaders do that others don't. Ask for help. He was developing the iPhone and couldn't come up with a scratch resistant screen. He called the president of Corning Glass and asked for help. Corning had a variety of glass they had never marketed and made it available to Apple. The rest is history. He sent the president of Corning a handwritten note that said "it wouldn't have been possible without you" which he framed and put in his office. Everyone who is looking for a job has one thing in common: There are people who have been where you are, & when you don't ask them for help, you deny them the opportunity to make a real difference in your job search and life. It shows respect for what others have learned and a willingness on your part to receive their help. We all want to have the answers we need for everything. But when I understood I didn't have time to live long enough to learn what I could in 10 minutes, I asked for help. Thanks for reading and click connect for more. #linkedin #interviewtips #jobsearch
