Your 20 years of loyalty is becoming a liability. Not because of your age—but because of your data density. To your HR's AI, you don’t exist. You’re a "Data Ghost." 👻 It’s not a skills gap. It’s a visibility gap. Time to hack your digital twin. Read how: www.linkedin.com/pulse/digita...

We keep acting like humans are perfectly rational robots. We aren’t. We are messy, emotional, and use mental shortcuts all the time. The secret isn't more willpower; it's making the right choice the default choice. My discussion on Meggi Rombach's Podcast open.spotify.com/episode/7KIL...

Thinking for yourself is now an act of rebellion. Between misinformation and super-egos, it’s easy to lose your own voice. 5 Rituals to fix it: → Face biases → Trust the "BS ick" → Iterate > Perfect → Build compassion → Track growth, not gains #SimplyHuman

he "Swiss Dream" is a lie. 🇨🇭 New data on the "Ecology of Risk" shows we aren't afraid of avalanches or war—we’re afraid of our jobs. The top 2 risks keeping the Swiss up at night: 1️⃣ Accepting a new job 2️⃣ Quitting a current one Stability is a trap. 🪤 #Switzerland #Risk

Why your 360 feedback is failing: Treat it as a checklist ➡️ You get compliance. Treat it as a growth engine ➡️ You get performance. Most companies are just digitizing anxiety. Stop collecting opinions like Pokémon cards. Here is how to fix the process: www.peoplekult.com/post/more-th...

Stop trying to "fix" your team. Your brain's Negativity Bias turns you into a "gap hunter"—scanning for errors instead of replicating flow. Shift from Manager to Operations Coach. Don't just investigate failures. Perform a forensic analysis of your WINS. Scale your "Golden Hours."

Stop chasing intensity. Your brain learns through repetition, not cramming. Consistency strengthens neural pathways (neuroplasticity) & moves skills from conscious thought to effortless habit (automaticity). 🔥 Sporadic effort = traffic jam. ✅ Daily effort = high-speed highway. #Habits #Neuroscience

Most of us tie our happiness to a goal. We say, “I’ll be happy when I get the job, the house, the partner, the number in my bank account.” We think this is normal. But it is a trap. You can only act in the present. You can only feel joy now. The future is always out of reach.

Why is saying NO the hardest thing to do? 🤯 We procrastinate for days, our gut screams "stop," but we keep pushing. It’s not just a lack of willpower. Your brain is actively sabotaging you. 👇

Most people think human rights are a global issue. They're not. They're a daily choice. You shape human dignity with every action, every word, every day. Not just in courtrooms or on the news. You change the world by changing your corner of it.

Is the EU's 40% Women on Boards Quota a TRAP? 🤯 The 2026 deadline is NOT the real challenge. Former global search expert Dr. Keith Dorsey reveals the TRUTH: Boards need Optimal Diversity (Demographics + Cognition). Stop being a "compliance number."

Real workplace courage isn't about risk. It's about integrity. 💥 Do you have it? The signs you do: * Say no when it harms your health/values. * Voice when toxic behavior is happening. * Not caring if you're called "disloyal" for doing the first 2. Dot

A "FIFA Peace Prize" with no reason is an empty gesture. It breeds cynicism. Recognition must be specific to work. Vague praise doesn't register the behavior. Challenge: If you can't state the act & the impact, stop giving the prize. It's a waste of time and trust.

Stop calling your workforce "low-effort" or "lacking grit." Leaders are misdiagnosing the problem I recently spoke with Dr. Brian Alman: the root cause of burnout and poor performance isn't a deficit of talent. It's an abundance of unhealed emotional wounds open.spotify.com/episode/10vx...

The Power Paradox: The skills that got you promoted are the first ones you abandon when you become the boss. I sat down with Hilda Gan on the Revup Your Leadership podcast to discuss the science of Hubris Syndrome and some powerful habits to fight it. Full ep. youtu.be/NdRu7IxHp6Y

Most leaders think you need big bonuses to make people happy at work. Start with these zero-cost acts: • Say “thank you” in front of others • Write a quick note or email • Mention someone’s effort in a team meeting • Tell someone how their work helped you.

Companies with the HAPPIEST employees outperformed others by almost 6% in stock price. Companies with the highest PAYING salaries? Only a 2% bump. Happiness > Money. The numbers don't lie.

Leadership breaks people. It breaks even the best. And nobody talks about it. We love to praise leaders for their drive and grit. But the truth is, the pressure never stops. The “always-on” culture is not just a buzzword. It is a system that chews up even the strongest.

For years, I thought the goal was just "security." Get the job, get the salary, pay the bills. But I learned the hard way that a paycheck can fill your bank account while leaving you completely empty. Here is what it actually looks like to work without purpose ->

Signs you’re stuck in survival mode: 1) Your stomach knots up as the weekend ends. 2) You count down the days. 3) You’re not just tired. You’re drained, snappy, and short with people you care about. 4) Your boss emails. Your heart races. You want to run, not reply.

Une fusion est un traumatisme psychologique pour vos équipes. C'est une inondation de cortisol (stress) et une chute de dopamine. J'ai écrit un article pour Experts Suisses sur ce qui se passe vraiment dans la tête de vos équipes post-fusion. www.experts-suisses.ch/blog-experts...

For years, the fear of financial instability kept me in the passenger seat of my own life. My brain was wired to value "predictability" over purpose. In this interview, I share how I finally tamed that fear. Full story 👇 boldjourney.com/an-inspired-...

Your favorite song is a legal performance-enhancing drug. 🧠 It’s not a metaphor. • Dopamine spikes (Motivation) • Cortisol drops (Stress) • Alpha waves rise (Focus) Don't just "think positive." Put on headphones. Change your brain chemistry first, and the mindset will follow. 🎧

Power changes your brain chemistry. It’s like driving a car with a broken speedometer. You think you’re going 60. You’re actually flying at 100. You miss the warning signs. You ignore the bumps. You crash into problems you never saw coming.

You think your manager is "bad" because they don't have all the answers and often ask for your opinion. I'd argue you're lucky. You could have the "perfect" manager who nails every presentation... but couldn't care less about your development and never recognizes your work.

It looks like progress. It feels like success. But it’s just a show. Here’s why this happens: → OKRs and targets are simple to measure. → Real problem-solving is messy and slow. → Numbers reward short-term wins, not deep solutions. This is what Radhika Dutt calls performance theater.

Power rewires your brain. The science is clear. When you get promoted, your brain’s empathy system—the mirror neurons—start to shut down. You lose the ability to read the room. You stop picking up on small signals. This is called the Self-Awareness Gap.

You are not a machine. You are not your inbox. You are not here to answer every ping in 10 minutes. The world moves fast. Too fast. We have lost the art of slowing down and thinking for ourselves. Here is what Jordan Peace from Fringe says

STOP saying "I can't." It's a lie that shuts down your brain. 5 WAYS TO UN-STUCK: 1. Ask How might I? 2. Micro-actions. 3. Find a positive anomaly. 4. Log 3 daily wins. 5. 180° Rule (change your reaction).

I'm an introvert and speaking is tough for me. But every time I share how the brain works, I get a rush. 🚀 That adrenaline isn't fear—it's energy. I've spent a decade studying behavioral science and I live what I teach: change is possible. I turn my weakness into my strength, and you can too.

This is why 95% of GenAI investments are failing. Not because your team is stubborn. Because your tools are forgetful. If your AI can’t remember, your people won’t care. simplyhuman.substack.com/p/95-failure...

You will be remembered less for the metrics you hit and more for the manner in which you led. Your title is temporary; your human decency is your lasting legacy.

The best leaders don’t know it all. They build teams that grow. They make space for new ideas. Most people think a boss should have all the answers. But real growth comes from letting others try, fail, and learn.

If I could go back, I’d tell my 18-year-old self this: Don’t rush. Don’t settle. Build a life, not just a career. And remember, the journey is yours.

Companies spent a fortune on AI pilots. They got nothing back. They feel like they’re winning, but they’re not. This is the dopamine trap of AI. www.linkedin.com/pulse/40-bil...

Culture is the mediator that determines if leadership turns vision into results. If your culture is broken, your strategy is dead. Science shows leadership style accounts for 86.4% of it. Stop fixing the "artifacts." Fix your behavior. It’s the only shortcut. Read the analysis👇

Is your culture secretly costing you billions? 🤯 When employees lack belonging, they stop contributing ideas. This exclusion is a major economic liability. Celeste Warren on true equity: Stop confusing it with equality. It’s about giving everyone a fair start, not lowering standards.

Here’s what the ikigai diagram misses: - You can love something and still burn out. - You can be good at something and still hate it. - The world’s needs change every year. - Money is not meaning.

A truth most leaders miss: Experience is a diamond. 💎 Older employees are not just "seasoned"—they're forged by decades of wins and setbacks. You must: 1️⃣ Mine the Wisdom 2️⃣ Trust Intuition: Use them as your risk radar. 3️⃣ Shift the Metric: Make them coaches.

Curiosity is the engine of change, not innovation. Stop chasing trends. Start asking why. Innovation is the output; curiosity is the input. Build a culture that rewards deep questions and exploration. Article : www.peoplekult.com/post/why-cur...

Why do bad bosses keep winning? Because we reward it. 🤯 Author Kyle McDowell explains the self-perpetuating cycle of corporate toxicity & how to find the courage to lead differently. Are you a "me" or a "we" leader? #CultureShift #LeadershipLegacy #BeginWithWe

The "grown-up game" is a friendly lie that feeds imposter syndrome. True maturity isn't a finish line or perfection; it's a messy, ongoing practice built on Connection, Compassion, Vulnerability, Curiosity, Consciousness, and Choice. Drop the mask. 👇 www.linkedin.com/pulse/did-yo...

Most of us trade authentic identity for the "safety" of a title. But what happens when the job or status is gone? Drop the mask. Embrace purpose. That's where true choice and an exceptional life begin.

"Bots don't mess up. Or if they do, it's a bug, not a confession." 🤯 We trust people who are messy, admit mistakes, & try again. AI offers convenience, but not the deep, human trust built on risk, shared experience, and the chance to be let down. Trust is a feeling you can't download.

Don’t just "keep your cool." Your rage is wasted fuel. 😠 Leaders, stop suppressing intense negative emotions. Greg Stewart’s I³ Framework shows you how to harness that energy to attack the internal obstacles holding you back. www.linkedin.com/pulse/rage-y...

Telling a struggling leader "Go see a coach" after a mistake triggers the Punishment Trap. Your budget is buying resentment, not results. Science shows the fear response shuts down the brain’s ability to learn. My discussion with Andrea Caldwell from FranklinCovey👇

The real cost of losing an employee isn't the hiring fee. It's the tacit knowledge that walks out the door. Up to 80% of what makes a company run isn't written down. It's the shortcuts, the workarounds, & the "how we really do it." When that leaves, teams stumble. #BinomePlus

The biggest lie about AI? That it's coming for your job. The truth? The tech you fear most is your ticket to freedom. 🔑 AI eats tasks. Your value is in creation. Stop being a Task-Doer, start being a Value-Creator. Read the full blueprint for reinvention: www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-par...

Happy employees don't just feel better; they make companies rich. High-engagement teams: 21% more profitable. Happy workers: 13% more productive. It's not about perks; it's about real well-being, trust, and support. Matt Phelan from Happiness Index
