You should watch this TED talk #soinspirational

Tough day at the coalface (we didn't quite get the deal as we forgot to attend the compulsory information session and cocktails put on by the target's procurement department -- didn't meet "cultural fit") and a setback for the #sidehustle (turns out that someone already had registered @pug_reactions -- so much for the marketing blitz!) but got home, got my wine on and sat back to watch a TED talk with Richard Branson! Sir Richard Branson! What an inspiro-boost, I love how he's changed the world and has stayed real!! Can't believe he went from selling tubular bells door-to-door to running an airline!! I'm gonna see if anyone has registered @sirrichardbranson_reactions!!

Action this.

Hey, thank you for accepting my LinkedIn invite six weeks ago. Have you read my published post about keepin' it ethical in the share economy? Love to know your thoughts!

It's been a tough week for everyone (the cold brew place has closed down... it wasn't just a novelty!! I miss my smooth java jolt!!) but I just saw the mooooost amazing #inspiro about finding my spark! How amazing is it to find that spark! This is why TED is so much better than Netflix or watching the news!!

I'm sure I was supposed to do something on Tuesday, but totes forgot about it - maybe it was a follow up call. Oh well, wine time!

this is my favourite thread

voice reminds me of George Saunder's fantastic story "The Semplica-Girl Diaries"

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/10/15/the-semplica-girl-diaries

Got my #inspiro goin' on the Saturday morning treadmill!! Sir Richard Branson (who needs no introduction - I loved loved loved every episode of The Rebel Billionaire) and The LAD Bible (totally shaking up the media game #gamechangerlad) - in podcast form! Now that's a disrupter!! Loved the insights into deliberately stupid shitposting on social media... I smell a boost to the #sidehustle!!

Got my LinkedIn buzz on today in between meetings (first one was deciding which shade of blue to use in the proposal, second one was obtaining sign off - Carolina Blue is so in this year) and I read about Elon Musk taking people to the moon! Yes, the moon! Can you imagine going to THE MOON with Elon Musk!! Talk about #gamechanging #inspiro! If I can get the #sidehustle off the ground (imagine ordering clean organic juice from a mobile app, delivered by 'contractors' that we pay $2.50 per delivery!!) and get some of that sweet angel investor #dough, I'm sure I'll be flying away with a negroni in hand!!!

5. Make sure you hit the the WeWork crew with bars!!

#greatadvice KBP

The secret to making the most of #learningopportunities in the office is something we all have within us but don’t always use.

It’s love.

We all know the importance of opening these things (points to ears)

but what about the importance of opening this thing (points to chest). Am I right? It’s no coincidence that the human heart is the most powerful organ in the body.

Only by bringing love to the office can we really motivate others

and ourselves

to reach those goals.

So next time you’re in a stressful situation and thinking about hitting the WeWork team with bars . Stop.

Take a moment.

And remember to love.

I truly believe that ‘stuff’ really does not bring happiness. Family, friends, good health and the satisfaction that comes from making a positive difference are what really matters https://t.co/GFLwOyJLGt pic.twitter.com/r4LbQOcg8J

Great inspiration from Sir Richard Branson, and it's oh so true! I was just telling the intern getting my wheatgrass shot that 'stuff' does not bring happiness, but love and good health does!!

Love is about synergy and we need to tap into it from both ends!! I'll be tweeting this inspiro to Sir Richard (along with a request to be an angel investor for my new #sidehustle: a dating app, helping to connect pug owners exclusively), he'll love it!!

Actual quote from the Firefox team:

And today we're excited to announce that we're moving to a four-week release cycle! We're adjusting our cadence to increase our agility, and bring you new features more quickly. In recent quarters, we've had many requests to take features to market sooner. Feature teams are increasingly working in sprints that align better with shorter release cycles. Considering these factors, it is time we changed our release cadence.

this is the opening sentence of an email youtube sent me (as a customer) a few weeks ago:

We're reaching out with an update on how we'll release YouTube Originals going forward, as well as updates to your YouTube and YouTube Music features.

some besuited buzzwank thought it would be a good idea to send this sentence to every customer

Hey Futurefluencers!

I'm hearing a lot of negative noise around the office since we that great guy, the artisanal barista, could no longer brew up that hot java in the kitchen each morning. Have to say, crew, I was sad too... but the Starbucks will pick you up just as much before a big day of hustle!!!

Yeah, I've seen the stories about issues with the upcoming IPO because our CEO is (allegedly!!!) a 'batshit crazy madman wasting millions on mescaline parties and cryogenics' but we're working through it! More than ever guys, I need you to be thoughtleaders in your field... it's time to tap in from both ends with our customers!!!!

I tapped in from both ends with your mum

Maybe there's a better thread for this, but what do you all make of this Yuval Noah Harari guy? Legit or just another Gladwell-type clever reductionist?

What's his influencer brand like? Inspirational?

He actually seems slightly pessimistic tbh

Mind Negative Influencer

Who is everyone's favorite positive thinkfluencer and how have they enriched your personal & professional lives with uplifting momentum even during these trying times in "the new normal"?

that is absolutely incredible

all of a sudden I'm onboard with Scotty's defunding of universities

just a fun guy having fun

i'm trying to read between the lines to figure out when he has time for the epic boning he must surely have scheduled with his partner

a sandwich, pasta or sushi would make me sleepy all afternoon.

poor snowflake!

imagine the loss to humanity if he performed at less than his peak for the arvo

seems like a lot of hassle to make podcasts

lmao

You know, I might not ever post a political stance on the company LinkedIn page, but I might post it on the company owner’s LinkedIn profile.

Hey, it's marketing here. Yeah, I tried pinging you on Teams, said you were do not disturb? Anyway, important stuff... we need you post some mighty TL. Oh, that means Thought Leadership. Yeah, we cut it down. No, people didn't know what MTL meant. Anyway, important stuff... we need to promote ESG thought leaders on the vanguard at our Q4 event. No, it's no longer called the Year End event. Why are you talking about do not disturb? On Teams? Anyway, important stuff... mighty TL that to your ESG tribe asap okay thanks!

Glad we got the big brains on this one!

Hi, I'm the Chief Metaverse Officer.

We're brewing some engaging coaching content at the EQ Café, can I get you a mug of L&D?

We are reinventing the science of selling.

Have we ever celebrated these values on the socials?

Maybe there is more we can curate?

Affirmative, will loop back and peel the onion.

Look let's not boil the ocean here people!

All we need to do is just re-surface some of those really activating titles

Okay tribe, what is the call to action here?

Sorry, team, our capital sources have temporarily dried up and you all are being furloughed.

Folks, we need you to embrace a new motto... 'more with less'.

fewer, bigger, better

let’s do a quick sync on that next week

Our new brand, in our heads, is a more accessible kind of name, it's a palindrome. It's navigating the world. It's about the avant-garde.

“FuF”

Guys, guys... this is TABLE STAKES in this industry.

We are becoming more agile.

I just want to make sure we’re aligning on outcomes. Right guys?

We've got a new vibe this quarter. It's thought leadership, reimagined.

We're aiming at centers of influence.

Now is the time to turbo boost our growth strategy. (Once we polish off month end reporting.)

We're talking big interventions here, team. I want the best brains on this.

Some events are truly experiences. The fireside chats about incorporating AI chatbots into our new frontline customer service vision were inspiring.

But when are we going to ladder up to that visioning work that Dan led so effectively? It’s been months! Let’s get aligned and start delivering!!!!

New addition to the business plan: AI-inspired thought leadership.

That tracks

I can't believe it's already September and that I've been at Corp Co. for six months. I've already seen some game-changing vision work from our leadership, and some incredible strat and execution to really land our proposition with the market and I just want to take a moment to say: well done.

That said we will need to adjust our footprint going forward. HR will be in touch if you are affected. As always our mental health website is available for all staff.

Has anybody captured those pinch points? Sarah?

When you wake up tomorrow morning, after you've said your gratitudes, I want you to focus your mind and ask yourself: are you aligned? Are you aware? Are you feeding in? Great organizations have great alignment. And there's no alignment without feeding in.

Don't forget Lean Coffee Drop-In tomorrow at 8am, Alex is going to be doing one of his things

Reminds me of the emails we get bombarded with by managers and HR which no-one reads and which are deleted in nanoseconds.

Folks, we need you to embrace a new motto... 'work from work'.
