"Dear Vanel, welcome to the "powerful wave of young change-makers". They are rising, demanding to be heard and making their mark on society. In celebration of this youth-led movement, the Global Shapers Annual Summit 2024 will take place under the theme, Dare to Innovate." I am thrilled, delighted, humbled, and honored by the global leadership opportunity to join the world's largest multinational, diverse and talented TEAM of champions, including highly successful C-suite executives, thoughtful leaders and experts from 190 countries. 1) How to define the world's TOP 100 High Risks and Global Challenges, including Climate Change, Corruption, Fraud, Skill Gaps, Global Markets and Financial Systems Cybersecurity Threats in 20204? What is Climate Change? 2) Does Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have the potential to streamline the inefficient HIRING process and help organizations SAVE millions, billions, and even trillions of dollars? 3) What is Policy? Does AI have a major impact on Policy design, adoption and implementation? What are the stages of the policy process? 4) How to translate vision into Bold action for building the right organizational model, corporate human-centric culture of trust and hierarchical structure necessary to drive digital transformation and harness artificial intelligence (AI)? 5) What is the C-suite? About the fiduciary duty of the board of directors? What is the difference between the Council, the Steering Committee and the Oversight Committee? " Dear Vanel, the virtual program at the "2024 Global Shapers Annual Summit kicks-off today, July 10, 2024." What does it take to become a successful C-suite Executive in the digital age of change and disruptive era of emerging technologies? Upskilling Imperative in the Digital Age of Change: My passion for Advanced Executive and Leadership Program as a successful global servant, transformational and inspirational leader with world-class experience, business acumen and digital growth mindset. I keep my global leadership expertise and digital competencies up to date with intellectual curiosity. From the IMF Capacity Development for highly talented experts: " In this IMF Summer School session, a preview of the Quarterly National Accounts and High-Frequency Indicators of Economic Activity (QNA) course, you will learn the basics of how to compile and estimate these indicators, including understanding data sources, volume measures, benchmarking, seasonal adjustment, and dissemination policies."

Came across a powerful video by Melinda French Gates that resonated with me as I work on helping a 6-year-old overcome her fear of water. The "big waves small waves" story shared in the clip emphasizes the importance of courage in facing head-on challenges. The message goes beyond just surviving big waves; it highlights the significance of adapting to changes that follow challenges. As the narrative beautifully puts it, "Once the smaller wave realizes that it is not just a wave, but water, it becomes free to take on new forms." This insightful clip is a reminder for all of us, not just for Stanford grads or a 6-year old. Check this out and I hope you regain your power to conquer the 2nd half of 2024. #pruesnote

(& specifically you - know who you are - awesome to run into you at burning man, i hope you use the ai we made from the course material with students sometime sooner rather than later. god knows we could use a slide up on the ID scale in this country and this world) thanks jeff for teaching me the second rule of power. happy to mentor (ya know, work with, partner up whatever- words speak softer than whatever we do/show) the most powerful people on the planet 🌎 🌍🌏 ethicalacceleration.66 {many of whom are likely under 35 and ineligible to run for president (not of stanford, you get it dean levin (et al, ikyk 🥸) [*president, ik, but this feels more authentic and i have more respect for deans anyway, so yw for my candor, whatever]} and completely undetected by the folks officially sitting at the top.

Once more into the fray! The last time I touched anything to do with math or statistics, the year was 2002. The result was a C- and a personal oath to never have to deal with math again. But no belief can stand the test of time. Especially when it is rooted in comfort-based decisions. As I embark on this next semester in our Columbia University Human Capital Management program, the material is sure to push me outside my comfort zone. It’s about value-based discomfort. Being uncomfortable for no reason is reckless and ROI negative, but discomfort that is tied to deliberate growth or a value-aligned endstate is a worthy pursuit. I am keenly aware of my capabilities and limitations as a Talent practitioner. To be the best teammate and leader I can, it is time to enter the ring with those limitations. After all, how can I push my team members to challenge themselves in unknown territories if I am unwilling to go there myself? Grateful for this chance to grow and excited for this challenge. #bringthenoise #bringonthemath

What a motivating few days of technology sharing with some of the best EM colleagues and Stanford professors! We talked about key technology opportunities (not challenges!) and the importance of scale. I’ve mentioned this before and will continue to emphasize, we are better when we work together!!
