today I learned a new way to get the most from AI in the office:
Next time I suggest something and someone says “What, are you #@%^# crazy?” I’ll reply “Maybe I’m crazy…or maybe <insert name of favoriteAI/LLM gizmo here> is crazy.” Then a long pause, cold stare, ending with that little nod that stranger tough-guys in movies give each other as a way to acknowledge greatness. #geniusmoves #officehacks #careeradvice #littlenods #aimastery

Embrace and escape!

I've never had more fun writing my 41st and 42nd books! I tackle what I've seen in 30 years of examining innovation success and innovation failure, and have wrapped them into two concise overviews that go hand in hand.

Today, I'm getting images together for Escaping Mediocrity, arriving by May 15, while watching sales for Embracing Mediocrity, which is already in print.

I'm seeking advice from anyone who has recently crafted a #resume. I have a potential #JobOffer and need to create one. If you've done this recently, how did you approach it? I've explored several #ResumeBuilders but am unsure which ones are #accessible and suitable for me. I wanted to generate a resume from my #LinkedIn profile, but it seems that feature is no longer available. Additionally, I've attempted college three times but had to withdraw each time due to #ChronicIllness. My primary experience includes contract usability testing and earning certificates through #freeCodeCamp and #Codecademy. How would you recommend addressing this on a resume? I'm considering a #FunctionalResume template in #MicrosoftWord, but it's quite daunting.

For photojournalists, what are your tricks, methods, and tools for finding a story when covering an event? Or, thoughts on how to get over the fear of talking to folks?

It’s odd because I’m a people person. I don’t mind public speaking. I enjoy social events. But the moment I’m there in an official capacity I get so nervous that people won’t want to talk to me or I’ll be a bother. Probably because I’m a recovering people pleaser…
