#306 Self-improvement, culture and the workplace – a special edition
Your Majesty
Powering brands and digital experiences for fashion and technology pioneers.
Hey there,
Culture, workplace and self-improvement – the theme of this week’s issue, especially curated by our (now-ex) People Experience Manager Shiron Boots .
After 10 years with us at Your Majesty, she’s heading off to a new opportunity but leaves us with this parting gift of internet goodness.
Sadly we’re also saying goodbye to some other team members this week, as they too head off to pastures new.
As they depart the castle, we welcome the newest knights. Introducing Ben Culpin , Katie Gill and Henry K. – learn more about their experiences and passions in our latest article.
Until next time,
⚔️ Your Majesty
P.S. We're proud to share our 300th Issue was recognised by One Page Love for their curation of beautiful one-page websites right here.
1. Why rituals, not habits, make you more productive
“Rituals animate us, enchanting our lives with something more” – they can really make or break your day and you might not even know you’re doing it.
2. Fashion’s playbook for digital product passports
The legislation is clear, but how to prepare for DPPs is not. Traceability platform TrusTrace is helping the fashion industry with playbooks based on pilot projects over the last three years.
3. The Art of Asking Smarter Questions
Five types of questions leaders need to ask when making strategic decisions; investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective.
4. Gen Z is entering the C-suite and getting rid of meetings, set work hours and more
How Gen Zers are putting their mark on career advice, office culture and creating a work environment that feels open and comfortable.
5. The Babelian Tower Of AI Alignment
Here’s where the rub lies, human values and contrasting conceptions of the good life are too diverse to fit one universal model.
6. The double sexism of ChatGPT’s flirty “Her” voice
The evidence is stacking up – it’s reasonable to conclude that OpenAI’s new flirty female voice is based on Scarlett Johansson, and she’s not happy about it.
7. Does Your Boss Practice Toxic Positivity?
Bringing ‘positive vibes’ to the office isn’t going to solve business problems – and your boss shouldn’t think so either.
8. I deleted Gmail and Slack from my phone
This entrepreneur wanted to do better as a parent and in doing so, also found it helped her work too.
9. The luckiest generation?
Gen X had the ’92 recession. Millennials had the 2008 crisis. But now, Gen Z might just have it made, according to a report from the Economic Policy Institute.
10. More Than Goat Yoga: HR’s Guide To Employee Wellness Programs
What do they involve, cost and can these programs benefit your team?
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
— Eleanor Roosevelt
