Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In a quest for career advancement, you may be focused on cultivating new habits and routines, adding in time for professional development activities. But equally important is removing the behaviors that unknowingly prevent your progress. Here are five things to stop doing to instantly boost your career: 1. Telling yourself negative stories The stories we tell ourselves are the most important words we speak because they play on repeat in our heads. When you fill your head with negative self-talk like I’m not good enough, I’m not ready , or I’m just a __________ (whatever you are now), not a _________ (whatever you’d like to be), you prevent yourself from learning, growing, and stretching your wings. Until you believe in yourself, no one else will. Instead, use a little compassion, and treat yourself the way you would a treasured friend. Words have power, especially those you say—or don’t say—to yourself. … [Read more...] about The 5 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Instantly Boost Your Career

The Modern Identity Stack: Startup Opportunities In the $80B+ Identity Market
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I’ve spent more than a decade building infrastructure for managing digital identity. Before I became a Partner at Mayfield investing in early stage enterprise software companies, I was the CEO at Gigya, which created the Customer Identity & Access Management category starting back in 2011, powering login & registration as a service for 700 customers and becoming Forrester leaders in the space. Now as an investor at Mayfield, we’ve continued spending time on the Identity Stack, investing in Berbix (Instant Identity Verification), OwnID (Distributed Customer Identity Platform), and Vector Flow (Physical Identity & Access Management Platform).

Here’s Why HR Leaders Are Missing The Mark On Employee Handbook Creations
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If you want your employees to actually take an interest in the latest iteration of the company handbook, start by reaching out to high-performing workers for ways to make it more relevant and fun to read.

Below, Forbes Human Resources Council members discuss 16 common mistakes HR leaders make—and should avoid—if they want the company to remain compliant with employment laws, flexible, and transparent with their employees. 1. It's OverSaturated With Boring Content An employee handbook is sent to new employees, but it’s rarely referred to after onboarding. Why? Because they’re often oversaturated with lengthy, boilerplate policies that are unwelcoming, and frankly, boring to read. Make an impact with your handbook by using it as a … [Read more...] about Here’s Why HR Leaders Are Missing The Mark On Employee Handbook Creations
‘Disingenuous And Biased’: Pro-Lifers Hit Back After NYT Opinion Piece Attacks Crisis Pregnancy Centers
The New York Times published an opinion piece attacking crisis pregnancy centers (CPC), accusing them of misleading and exploiting women with unplanned pregnancies. Pro-life activists told The Daily Caller News Foundation these attacks were defamatory and inaccurate, and said CPCs played an important role in women’s health. “I unequivocally attest that the op-ed recently published in the New York Times is at best, disingenuous and biased,” said Jeanneane Maxon, attorney and associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Pro-life activists slammed a New York Times opinion piece published Thursday that attacked crisis pregnancy centers (CPC), describing the article as defamatory and inaccurate. The article , which came after a week of attacks on CPCs following the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion revealing the likely overturning of Roe v.

New Research Shows Inferior Outcomes In Online College Programs
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Though its growth has been slowing and costs escalating, enrollments in online college classes and programs continue to increase. Remote or “global” programs are a staple at many, even most, colleges now - more or less taken for granted as a viable, essential part of the college learning landscape. It’s flatly remarkable, considering this pervasiveness and acceptance, that we know so little about the learning outcomes of online college. More than two years ago, I asked the question , “What if Online Education Simply Doesn’t Work?” and laid out some evidence that is now generally accepted - that those who are the least prepared and least motivated for academic work, do quite badly in online settings. I also pointed out that the schools with the unquestionably worst outcomes - for-profit colleges - rely heavily, nearly exclusively on online programs. In fact, as of two years ago, two of every three students enrolled at … [Read more...] about New Research Shows Inferior Outcomes In Online College Programs

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I'm the CEO and Co-Founder of Planable — the leading content review and collaboration platform for social media teams. In 2021, organizations worldwide were using, on average, 110 software as a service applications, according to Statista . Here’s another head-spinning number : The SaaS market is expected to grow from $130.69 billion in 2021 to $716.52 billion in 2028. That amounts to a lot of money spent by a lot of companies on a lot of tools. And it makes sense when you think about it: Tools allow modern businesses to automate what was manual just a few years ago. Look at social media management, for example. Who thought this market would grow so vast and professional that it would spawn its own set of third-party tools? But there is one caveat to all of this, which will constitute the subject of this article.

The Superpower Of Confidence
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Confidence is one of the most powerful tools humans possess. It is the superpower that allows you to move mountains. There are two essential factors to consider here. First, without self-confidence, you will not be able to grow or achieve new milestones. Second, confidence is a unique ability that gives you the power to influence people to believe anything you say and do things that you want. Humans are biologically programmed to trust and respond positively to confident people. We have a specific region in our brain that is programmed to respond only to confident people . Leaders and politicians who exude the most confidence are the ones who successfully influence millions into believing whatever it is they want them to believe. Confidence is the superpower that has allowed humans to believe they can do the unthinkable. We would never have reached the moon or a distant planet without confidence.

World’s food problems piling up as India restricts wheat exports
Synopsis The surprising thing is that India isn’t even a prominent exporter on the world stage. The fact that it could have such a major impact underscores the bleak prospect for global wheat supplies. War has crippled Ukraine’s exports, and now droughts, floods and heat waves threaten crops in most major producers. India’s move to restrict wheat exports is set to reverberate through global agricultural markets, exposing just how tight global supplies are after the war in Ukraine and threatening to drive up food prices even more. The government said in a notification dated May 13 it will suspend overseas sales to manage its food security. This drew criticism from the agriculture ministers of the Group of Seven nations, who said that such measures make the world’s crisis worse. The surprising thing is that India isn’t even a prominent exporter on the world stage. The fact that it could have such a major impact underscores the bleak prospect for global wheat supplies. … [Read more...] about World’s food problems piling up as India restricts wheat exports
