Taking a Long Term View During Turbulent Times

Tim Kastelle

What’s the best way to respond to covid-19? There’s still so much uncertainty, it’s almost impossible to know. There are people and institutions that urgently need help – and first priority has to go them. But there’s also value in taking a longer-term view in times of turbulence – I gave a talk last week on this topic, and you can see it here: I won’t recap the whole thing, as it’s all there on the video.

How are you keeping your company culture connected?

Tembosocial

Ohhhhh, what I would do for a water cooler right about now. Count me among the millions of employees who feel fortunate to have jobs while still longing for some old school human connection. Let’s not deny the impact of the moment we are in. Everyone is thrown to the wind. Everyone is cast all around. The "company", in its previous iteration, was an anchor.

#1,667 – Let’s Test For COVID-19 Using Laser Beams!

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

To combat the spread of the coronavirus we need to drastically increase our testing capabilities. Establishing tests that are readily available and non-invasive and which produce accurate results in a quick amount of time. Tests that take days to give results that are hit or miss are obviously not going to cut it. Thankfully, there may soon be a new method on the way that could help reduce the time it takes to get test results.

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

#1,668 – Recomendo

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

A few months ago, some friends and I came up with a killer idea. A newsletter that would feature our best recommendations. Shows to watch, podcasts to listen to, books to read. Even fashion tips and other lifestyle happenings would be fair game. Anything interesting. Anything at all. Clearly, there is value in such a concept. When I used to read Fast Company regularly my favorite part was their recommendation section where you could find out what some of the most successful people in the w

Overcoming Coronavirus – Be A Strong Brand to Withstand a Crisis

Brunner

When you hear “there’s a crisis,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it CNN ’s report on “ The Gulf spill: America’s worst environmental disaster ?” How about Sports Illustrated’s “ Punch seen ’round the world ” Or maybe it’s when USA Today reported “ Yahoo may be the biggest data breach ” of all time? The reality is, even if your crisis isn’t that big, it feels that way.

Brunner

It’s clear we’re in the midst of a crisis. And while this may be uncharted territory for many, at the core of it all is a profound desire found during any crisis: a deep need for support, protection and confidence.

#1,669 – Air Plasma Engine

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Before the quarantine started I was days away from embarking on a two week trip of a lime-time to Japan, first to see the sights in Tokyo and then to immerse myself in the temple laden culture of Kyoto. So suffice it to say, like most people I absolutely can not wait to travel again. But truth be told I am actually more excited about the long-term future of traveling than I am about any one near-term trip I had planned.

NON-JUDGMENTAL LISTENING

Idea Champions

This just in! Recently, I polled a community of a thousand people I am working with, asking them to rate 20 different ways they could be of support to their colleagues, peers, neighbors, families, and children during these crazy times of the Coronavirus. The highest rated of them all? Non-judgmental listening! An excellent choice. Sounds great, but in reality, is not as easy as it sounds.

Anxious. Stressed out. Maybe even a little bit depressed? We’re all running the full gamut of emotions as we deal with skin hunger, crippling isolation, and all the other soul-sucking side-effects of prolonged quarantining and social distancing. And as much as I want to put on a brave face and refuse to admit that it is bothering me I have to be honest with myself and admit that even I am facing an uphill battle as my recent trouble falling asleep suggests.
