@nocapmedia London is lost!

Wild times we live in

@richroll This is what moral and spiritual leadership looks like 🙏🏻

🔥Update 1.11.24

@richroll Seeing the news in snowy Yorkshire, UK I immediately wondered if you and your family would be affected. You and @SriMati have impacted people all over the world so much. The love is being returned to you all today. And to everyone else in the area. Be safe 🙏🏻

Having lived in the Santa Monica Mountains since 2003, we’ve experienced many fires over the years—but this one is different, fueled by winds more severe than in the past that have the blaze moving at a pace beyond what can be contained. Like many thousands of others, we evacuated last night (I slept at my studio). We are safe. Our home is in the zone of threat, but at the moment of this post, I believe it still stands. So many, too many, have already lost theirs. And the fire, at least from the news I can gather at this early hour, shows no signs of slowing its pace, buttressed by winds that continue voraciously. Thank you to the incredible firefighters and first responders who are literally putting their lives on the line on our behalf. Your sacrifice is a remarkable act of selfless service. @srimati often reminds me that all events are neutral until perspective is applied. Wise words that also remind me that every occurrence an opportunity for growth—easy to say, harder to practice when life is suddenly upended. I’m reminded of just how little control I can exert over most things beyond the choice of how to comport myself. How to behave and respond in the face of them. Ultimately it’s yet another opportunity to clarify what is actually important, which is each other. To hold those I love more closely—and deepen my practice of surrender. There is some kind of weird comfort knowing everyone around me is going through the same thing. That we are in this thing together. Praying for those in harms way🙏🏼 PS - This is not my photo and I don’t know who took it. Just one I grabbed off the internet. Happy to credit the photographer if anyone knows or take it down

I'm hosting The Art of Fulfilment on LinkedIn today. Make sure to grab your slot! linkedin.com/events/thearto…

@polak_jasper Catchy.

A good executive shields a team from distractions. A bad executive is a distraction.

@SuperpowerQueen You don't need a to-do list for the things you enjoy!

You not only have hidden talents that you can leverage. You also have hidden motivation. Have you ever noticed that when you're doing what you love, you never have to make yourself move forward? Your automatic motivation kicks in.

@stevemagness I did 6-months proper, focussed base training 9 years ago to get over pneumonia. I'm still benefitting.

Aerobic training = The compound interest of training. It doesn't seem to give you many gains initially, but if you keep at it for months and years...you end up so much better off.

@visakanv What would be in the top 0.001% of experiences?

I feel sometimes like I get more out of browsing bookstores and libraries than from reading the average book that I pick out (this completely breaks once you isolate the top 0.1% of book-reading experiences, which are priceless and deeply transformative)

@Veganella_ Made me realise that in my meat eating days I used to say I'd have liver for my final meal. I need to update my thinking. Any suggestions?

Hell no

@visakanv Did one with no surface to work with once. Just balancing on my arm. That was the peak of my parenting powers.

what’s the strangest place you’ve ever changed a diaper? I just did one behind a row of parked bicycles

@visakanv Fergus McCloud had an out of time full moustache and shaved his body hair in 1980s Yorkshire. The ladies loved him. He was a charming cad.

tell me a random detail about a cool older friend that you admired when you were a teenager? (wanna piece together a composite portrait of the cool big sis/bro archetype, for fiction purposes)

Been hanging out on LinkedIn for the last 3 months Did I miss anything?

@mnrrntt I'll have a Heineken 0% please

@visakanv Hurrah!

@realstephenlock I’m a big fan!

I’m increasingly convinced that there’s a kind of impediment to learning which is basically a learned resistance to change the strong version of this hypothesis, which I’m not yet sure about, is that all resistance to learning is resistance to change

@Pam_Rubin1 @baglion It's awesome.

My friend GP posted this on LI and it is too good not to share. @baglion

@jimkroft I'm no expert, but I have been exploring it recently. I feel as though I have found mine by becoming a self-employed coach.

I'm learning about Ikigai: A Japanese philosophy where 🌟 passion, 🛠 skills, and 🌍 societal needs intersect. If anyone has experience, quotes, thoughts or personal reflections, I'd love to hear!

@robshorten @NIHRCRN_nwcoast @gregwoodley1 Glad that one landed with you Rob 😊

An excellent @NIHRCRN_nwcoast Research Scholars day today, especially @gregwoodley1 & @realstephenlock I'm already consciously spending less time doom-scrolling on here. I think I need to spend more time on LinkedIn. Plus, "happiness is a moral obligation". ❤️💪

@ResearchSharon @NIHRCRN_nthames Thanks Sharon. You have a great team. I really enjoyed it!
