In this video we are talking about three ways to build your relationship with your manager, that if implemented can have a huge impact on the way you work.
My wife and I have worked together for many years, we spend almost all of our time together. It can be challenging at times, but we have three tips to share that we have found helpful for working together successfully.
Work is a team sport that relies on multiple people and groups coming together to achieve something. These teams can either be formally structured or be created on as as-needed basis. Sometimes these teams comprise individuals in the same geographic location, but in today’s globally distributed and connected world, it’s far more likely that these teams are spread out all over the world.
Even back when the phone was just a phone, it was still an amazing technology that changed the world. Now our phones are not just phones, they are our window to the world. […]
Each week I’m going to provide a round up of what I consider to be important and interesting articles on the future of work (not authored by me). These will include a variety of sources and topics ranging from workplace practices to robots and automation to leadership and everything in between. […]
Between cloud services, video calling, internal social networks, and so much more, collaboration plays a huge role in modern workspaces. At the heart of collaboration is the technology that makes it possible. And for every type of collaboration software, there are multiple vendors and services offering various features and systems. Collaboration, while vital to the future of work, can also be overwhelming.

As the workplace environment evolves, especially with new technology arriving almost daily, it makes sense that email would get the brunt of the change. But is email going to die? Not quite. As it stands, the future of email falls into three categories: remove, maintain, or change. […]
I have done a few videos in the past on automation but now feel the need to address it again. Currently, it seems like the discussion surrounding automation is all over the place. People are suddenly panicking about their jobs being stolen out from under them by robots. Automation has been around for multiple decades so why the mass hysteria now? Our computers can troubleshoot and self-diagnose their WiFi problems, we use ATMs at the bank and kiosks at the airport to check in for flights, and even ring ourselves up at the grocery store! There has been a lot of focus on software automation for many years and the conversation has now evolved to job loss and replacement. […]
Last week, at a keynote that I did in Malaysia, an attendee raised their hand with a very important question that I feel needs to be addressed. The attendee said everything that I was speaking about sounds wonderful and makes sense, and it is pretty easy to do when things are going well at your company… But what about when things aren’t going great for your organization? How do you continue to innovate and implement forward thinking ideas then? The good news is, there are ways to adapt during times of difficulty. […]
