Interested in making a career change or in being more innovative? If so, spend less time with the folks you work with closely and instead spend more time with your weak ties. My latest article for @FastCompany #creativity #Innovation #CareerGrowth

Saturday was one of my favorite days on the calendar at @GLOBIS_IMBA, they day I guide #MBA students with #LEGO in the #DesignThinking course! LEGO helps us ideate & prototype new ideas and new perspectives AND it's fun too. Reach out to learn more & how I can help your team!

Awesome things at #StarWarsCelebrationJapan2025 today included seeing @rosariodawson and @diegoluna_ on stage and being in the right spot to catch a limited event t-shirt thrown into the crowd. Guess I used #TheForceGuides #StarWarsCelebration

Excited to join #TakeoffTokyo2025 this week and engage with Tokoyo's vibrant & international #startup scene! 🚀 I'm looking forward to meeting folks and sharing my expertise in working across cultures & building global teams to drive #innovation and #creativity. See you there✨

I had a great time interviewing many bright folks for my newest article for @FastCompany on the rapidly growing Japanese #startup scene and how #digitalnomad can tap into that scene. Come here for the sushi, stay for the startups!

Willl you look at that, a box of @TimHortons #timbits which are all the exact same, boring, flavor, despite NOT asking for this? I must be super-lucky...or unlucky. 🤣 #canadianproblems

Monday got you down? Here's 15 seconds of a chill beaver munching away on a root to take away your stress, who I encountered yesterday on a hike through @Algonquin_PP #Monday #relaxation #zenmoment

There's a special place in hell reserved for couples who sit kitty-corner or side-by-side at a busy cafe and so use up two tables.

How to build #empathy with those from other cultures who express emotions in different ways? In my newest @Forbes I show why empathy is a vital tool to work with colleagues or customers from other cultures and how we can all develop it #Leadership forbes.com/sites/darrenme…

Wonderful this past week to be in London for the @thinkers50 gala and to not look only hear from @AmyCEdmondson , but to feel the excitement in the room when this was announced! Well deserved and congratulations!

@KojiroMoriwaka @G1Global Great to catch up @KojiroMoriwaka!

Great to catch up with my great friend @Darmenab at @G1Global this year again🥳 #G1Global

You maniacs. #TwitterX

Indiana Jones vs Godzilla? Okay, I would pay to see that. #tokyo #indianajones

We need both #CulturalIntelligence and #EmotionalIntelligence when working in today's interconnected world. Here are 3 Ways To Strengthen Your Cultural Intelligence, in my latest article for @forbes #culture #globalization #remotework forbes.com/sites/darrenme…

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” Two things that taste great on their own, and probably should stay that way. #kitkat #japan #why

As part of @GLOBISUnlimited Book Explorer series, I look at a book that helps us grasp how much our world of work has changed & what we can do to thrive in that world. Watch the vid & read Remote Work Revolution by @HarvardHBS Prof @tsedal. #remotework #businessbooks #hybridwork

@ThatYuta It's an example of the "soft bigotry of low expectations" though bigotry may be too strong a word. Meaning, whether meant well or not, there's an undercurrent of not holding high expectations about the speaker/doer. Hence the feigned surprise and backhanded compliment.

日本語上手 from Japanese people is not sarcasm most of the time as there's no sarcastic intentions behind it. You can only be sarcastic intentionally (but you can be unintentionally ironic). It's interesting English speakers hear sarcasm when there's none.

#Japan is the land of the vending machine but this is the first time I've seen a @bluebottleroast vending machine. As a #marketing play, it appears to work!
