Here is another free resource to help kids deal with social distancing. It is written in English, Spanish and Chinese by the remarkable Dr. Edward Wang and his wife, Kathleen McLean. Share with kids across the globe. It is good to read before or after the Wrinkles story --- and kids can compare the two books! Wrinkles story is in English and Spanish and involves a dog -- a basset -- a real one. Having kids compare two books is a really good learning exercise!!! …see more

Really enjoyed this Knowledge Project conversation with the "If it's not 'HELL YES! it's no" guy, Derek Sivers. You can listen to it or read it here. https://lnkd.in/ekNc-VM

Attending #MSBusinessFwd today... "If you do not get your data in order, all you will do is make mistakes with greater confidence than ever before."

Thought this would be of interest. Original link did not work. It is about being treated well by physicians and is a follow-on to an earlier piece in Medium reposted here. Thoughts welcomed. The response is almost better than the original story. https://lnkd.in/edxQq92

Whether you voted for him or not, this is definitely a new wrinkle that brands will simply need to be ready for.

Thoughts welcomed. Will strain on folks be diminished as the world reopens slowly? I think not as much as others think. Ponder PPTS — post pandemic trauma syndrome. Jobless folks, healthcare workers, teachers, students, parents, small business owners, those who are recovering, those who survived.....there is a psychological toll we have paid and will continue to pay... we need to acknowledge that....and address it. …see more

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy start to 2020. I would love to #connect more with all of you in #2020 #happyandhealthy

Hope this link works: https://lnkd.in/edxQq92 . If I did not know better, I'd think the physician was sending bad vibes. Read on -- it is a follow on to an earlier piece on a bad acting cardiologist and my response and how his response (and mine. For the record, he's been reported to DC and MD physician organizations for pursuit of a complaint.

Please enjoy this insightful conversation with Angela Duckworth, the queen of grit, who defines grit as "a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal.”

By now you've likely read a kajillion articles on Jeff Bezos as he steps down from the CEO role Amazon . But I'd like to share one more from Ben Thompson at Stratechery . It is not just the typical "he started here and went there" bio rundown but more about how he thought about strategy both early on and as he scaled up new businesses like Amazon Web Services (AWS) . #bezos #amazon #aws …see more

As you may know, I have written a video book about our dog Wrinkles -- he's struggling with social distancing. It is now in English and Spanish. I am delighted that the Rutland Herald contains a terrific article by the amazing reporter @PatrickMcCardle. Here's the best part: five (5) readers in Rutland can get a free copy of my bilingual children's book on indestructible paper from Northshire Books by emailing the publisher. The first five to respond. Perfect book for our time too -- indestructible paper that can be cleaned, multiracial characters and a trauma sensitive theme: object constancy and separation. So, my thanks to Patrick and the Herald. And, please residents of Rutland, VT.: order the book and see the smiles when reading to kids, even in these difficult times. https://lnkd.in/eUhJJ5m …see more

A piece for those who remember the phrase: Don't Leave Home Without It. Share thoughts as always and the book will help educators reopen schools.

Important point about pandering. What’s said in #CSR efforts / cause-aligned #marketing is often in stark contrast to lobbying that happens behind the scenes. Thank you Lily Zheng

It's not clear what getting back to normal means now, but I am interested to know how you now feel about the vaccine. Will you get vaccinated?
