Living & Working In A Rapidly Changing World Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

Around a thousand years ago, a mathematician and inventor named Sissa created chess.

He showed it to the ruler of the land, who was so impressed that he offered Sissa any reward he wanted.

Sissa said, "I would like you to put one grain of rice on this chessboard and then keep double the amount of grain for each subsequent square."

The ruler quickly agreed and told his advisors to figure out how much rice they would need to pay off Sissa.

As it turns out, we don't even have enough rice in the world today to meet the amount required.

Sissa then became the new ruler of the land.

At first glance, doubling a grain of rice on a chessboard seems like it will lead to very gradual and small growth.

However, when you get to the second half of the chessboard, the doubling accelerates at a hockey stick growth pattern, meaning it's no longer gradual growth but a massive increase from each square to the next.

When we talk about the rapid pace of change, this is where most leaders, technologists, and futurists believe we are today… at the second half of the chess board.

We must all embrace that this is the new normal.

To succeed in this kind of a world, we need to change our mindset because today "late adopter" means "out of business"

What Chess Can Teach Us About The Future Of Work Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Magnus Carlsen is the current world chess champion. He is considered the greatest chess champion to ever live.

What makes Magnus Carlsen great is his ability to think outside of chess principles and conventional ideas.

He challenges traditional chess wisdom.

When in positions where it looks like he's lost, he somehow finds a way to save the game.

He does this because he can see things other people struggle to see.

When we think about the future of work, we need this same mentality.

To challenge convention and to come up with new ideas.

We must accept that the game has changed.

We have to challenge our outdated notions of what it means to be an employee, what it means to be a leader inside of an organization, and even what it means to work.

Now is the time for us to think beyond what we're used to.

Why You Need To Master Your Communication Skills Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

Today, there's noise and distractions all over the place.

Being able to stand out and clearly share our ideas, points of view, and perspectives has never been more important.

Without strong communication skills, a great proposal might get lost in the shuffle, an amazing candidate might not get hired for an organization, or a brilliant idea might never be heard.

Think about how much information and data you are competing against every day. There is a lot of stuff out there that pulls our attention in many different directions.

That is why communication is a crucial skill to have in order to be successful in the new world of work.

How To Avoid Burnout Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

It's very easy for us to become burned out in this new world we live in.

We're surrounded by technology at our fingertips, and it's easy to get exhausted because we're constantly multitasking.

Studies show that multitasking actually takes you 25% longer to complete both tasks.

Multitasking isn't your friend.

It does come down to being able to prioritize and figuring out what you should be working on and what can wait.

Everyone wants things from you all the time--your friends, your boss, your coworkers, your spouse. These requests come in digitally and in person.

Learning to say no and taking more control over our lives is crucial to success.

A lot of us have a hard time saying no because we're conditioned from an early age to say yes. It feels awkward to say no to people.

But saying no is one of the best ways to prevent burnout.

Learn to value your time.

Saying no also allows you to build self-esteem and confidence.

How Do We Embrace A Growth Mindset Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

Having a growth mindset is crucial to succeed in the future of work. There are a few things you can do to embrace this mindset:

✅View challenges as opportunities. Most people view challenges as opportunities to fail and as things they can't overcome.

Instead, you should view any challenge you face as an opportunity to grow.

You can do this by taking on more challenging tasks. Don't just play it safe.

You can also find a creative path around your obstacles. Try to explore new ways of overcoming your challenges.

✅ Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be scared to bring in other people to help you accomplish your tasks.

✅ Set short-term and long-term goals for yourself. Setting goals allows you to work backwards to make sure you're taking the right steps to get where you want to be.
