🦖When someone asks where does your inputs or process legacy comes, from the dinosaurus era? It might be right. 😀 ⏰Now it doesn’t matter from when and what era, but most when we start challenging and obtaining the desired results. @ image credits Bad Bricks #lego #process #inputs #output #legacy #advancedorganisationalconsulting

Link in comments! Ryan North, author of the world-famous Dinosaur Comic and scenarist for Marvel (in charge of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four and more) is a contributor to the Government Tomorrow Forum's thinking since GTF day one. He is a bestselling author of "How To Reinvent Everything" and "How to Take Over the World." In this interview from November 2023, he states his optimism for the future of governments and his belief in progress — with a small dose of realism and warning towards over-reliance on technology. According to Ryan, we are human before anything else. Find Ryan's interview on the GTF website!

Are you a typer or a clapper? If you can do both, you probably aren't a dinosaur. Metaphor and imagery are powerful tools for storytelling and communication. I just heard a palaeontologist explain how we have the wrong idea about how dinosaurs' arms and 'hands' are oriented on their bodies by saying, "we think of them as typers, but they are actually clappers." Nothing more needs to be said - we all get it. They could have gone into detail about how therapod forelimb posture is oriented so palms are facing each other and not downwards.... blah... but it's so much more fun - and effective - to imagine typing and clapping instead. How can you use metaphor to get your point across? #storytelling #powerofwords

I got 2 million views from a 20 second video where I posed a question, "What's the best question you've ever asked?" Here are five of my favorite to spice up your day: 1. What's your favorite dinosaur? > Everyone has one, and their answers may surprise you. 2. What items do you collect? > Can be expanded to experiences, books, thoughts, pins on pinterest. 3. What's your spirit fruit? > I haven't asked anyone this, but I love a banana. 4. If you could go back in time to watch one event, as many times as you like, and from any angle, what would it be? (You can't change the past.) > The person who submit this said they'd watch the last Twilight movie premiere in every theater in the world. 5. If you were teleported into a room with every person you'd ever met, who would you look for first? > Living or dead? Thanks to the internet, I've got about 3000 more of these. Do you have a favorite questions you've asked or been asked recently? I'd love to hear it. ____________________________ The world is full of bad listeners. I'm trying to change that. Follow along if you'd like a digital daily reminder about human connection.

Can you believe it? I saw "Dear Sirs" in an email last week! It's like stumbling upon an ancient cassette tape—straight out of the past. "Dear Sirs" is an outdated greeting, like a dinosaur in the email world. Aren't emails for everyone these days, no matter who they are? Let's move on! Instead of "Dear Sirs," let's use greetings that are friendly for everyone. "Hi everyone," "Hello team," or even the person's name if we know it. 🌶️ Have you received an email with "Dear Sirs" lately? #InclusiveLanguage #EnglischLernen #SparksOfEnglish #LetsTalkBusiness

Nugget #66 - be aware of how your words prime people’s thoughts & feelings. If I tell you, “DON’T think about dinosaurs!” What do you think about… Dinosaurs. Something about how the brain processes information has us focus on key phrases - even when we don’t want them to. Be careful using words you don’t want people thinking about in your sales conversations. Examples: 🚫 “I don’t want to waste your time” 🧠 They’re thinking about their time being wasted. Then the million other things on their plate. This conversation seems less relevant. ✅ “To make best use of your time” 🧠 They’re thinking about how to best use their time. That what everyone is really trying to do everyday. This conversation will help me do that. ——— 🚫 “I know you’re busy” 🧠 They’re thinking how busy they are. Increasing likelihood to automatically brush you off. ✅ “I’ll be brief” 🧠 If they are actually busy they want you to be brief. They feel understood. More open hearing your idea.

Fossilised Phrases - The problem with clichés is they work. We’ve all been round the houses trying to think of a quick and easy way to sum something up. And landed on the most obvious phrase we always use. And in business the old reliable phrases come out again and again. And the same is true with cartoonists. And we relish a cliché. We live for them. They are mana from heaven. Desert islands, anything classical (especially gladiators) and of course dinosaurs. And today is of course national draw a dinosaur day. And in keeping with low effort Linkedin posting I have asked Chat GPT for a list of top business clichés and then added dinosaurs. Here is the fully illustrated draw a dinosaur day list of business clichés. Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast - delicious Low Hanging Fruit - a hardy perennial Circle Back - clever girl! Drinking the Kool Aid - we don’t know what Kool Aid is in the UK but say it anyway. Hit the Ground Running - like a load of velociraptors  Paradigm Shift - something something AI
