Are you paranoid about sharing your network with your connections? 🔎 We all know LinkedIn's power lies in visualizing your network. But do you open your network to your first-degree connections? Your decision to make your LinkedIn network visible or hidden can have significant implications for your professional strategy.   👍 On the positive side: Transparency fosters credibility. Allowing others to see your connections shows you’re open and have a network of reputable professionals.  If and when you work in a team, visibility can encourage mutual connections, fostering opportunities for collaboration and referrals. And making your network visible demonstrates your influence and reach within your field, which can strengthen your brand.   👎 On the negative side : You may want to protect your professional relationships by hiding your connections from connected competitors who might poach clients or colleagues (the real reason most of you do). Additionally, making your network visible might lead to unsolicited messages or spam for your contacts, which is not what they are waiting for.   📇 When sharing your network, the decision hinges on your professional goals, industry dynamics, and comfort level. What’s your approach—open or private?   Are you paranoid and scared or just cautious?   #linkedin #networking #socialselling

Dutch scientists have developed an AI-powered sarcasm detector for use in business meetings, partly trained on the TV shows “Friends and “The Big Bang Theory.” A researcher admits that the bot can’t detect and keep up with all sarcasm, but “that’s something even humans can’t achieve.” #MACafterHOURS

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄?

In my water courses, I use ACT methods to guide people from fear to free-flowing. Metaphors are powerful in ACT. For example, imagine your thoughts as a waterfall. Instead of standing under it, step behind it and observe. This helps you see thoughts without being overwhelmed.

Too often we claim to be dedicated to our customers. Yet our internal systems are set up to save money or use automation to minimize our workforce - decidedly not customer centric. My article offers ideas on how to keep customers happy and loyal. #SharonDrewMorgen #OriginalThinker #InventorDecisionFacilitation #CustomerService #ServantLeader #FacilitativeQuestionsR

Soft Tender Certain I was talking to my life partner the other day. We talk about our multi-level connections. Each with their own flavour, we celebrate them in their unique and rich texture. We indulge in them, encourage them in each other. We were exploring a track that we both love called Saman by Olafur Arnalds Here it is: https://lnkd.in/eXGW6M89 We went through the explorations of the lilt of the rhythm, how it was uncertain at times, then became sure of itself, how the melody was fluctuating between uncertainty and commitment. Then my partner said three words together and it stopped me in my tracks. She said it's soft, tender, and certain. Soft. Tender. Certain. Those three words together underly so much of the energy required for connection. They seem like a paradox right? How can I be soft, tender, and certain at the same time?! It almost seems like I need faith, to make that the case. When we are seeking change, we know we need to go into the unknown, and face hardship and challenge. Ultimately we are reckoning with that inside of ourselves; challenging and disrupting the status quo that our physicality, and our mentality, have relied on. We have to draw upon our spiritual confidence, our focused intention to the point of realisation in the future, our commitment to bringing the change through with the energy of our essence, not getting too lost on the journey, tending the seeds of the heart speak. Soft. Tender. Certain. Cultivates so much of the energy needed to navigate these sometimes turbulent waters. Finding a safe harbour within oneself. Cultivating goodness in the different bodies of experience. The word Saman means together in Icelandic. I think he nailed it. #lifecoach #transformationallifecoach #transformation #coach #changemakers #changemaker #thegreatturning

  The Essential Truth in Business and Life from Dr. Anneli Driessen: ✨ As entrepreneurs and spiritual people, we need to be dedicated to always finding truth within ourselves and truth in what's happening in the world. ✨ That requires some real investment and investigation, asking questions, checking, and testing, and being really committed to being our most true and authentic selves in every way we are and how we do business. #purpose, #reinvention, #personalgrowth, #selfdevelopment, #midlife
