Every analyst believes in the mantra "Give me insights or give me nothing!"

I'm saying: Stop providing insights. All you are doing is telling leadership: "Water is wet."

Switch to providing "out-of-sights!" Change the game.

@denabecker Ahh... The "unknown unknowns." But, is that not all of us Dena. :)

This is so painful 'cos of how true it is in larger organizations across geographies & industries.

Likely hurts, but it is helpful to reflect where I/you are in this chart. #selfawareness

For a CxO, an outright rejection of this cartoon is a sign of how true it is 4 their org.

With return to work, and all these people stopping by my office...

Thinking of putting this signboard outside my door to ensure I'm greeting each person optimally...

(PS: Wait for that last dude, he's something else.)

@fuadmiah See, that's the thing. The number does not matter. I wish it did. Like at 5k there is 10% less pressure. Then at 10k, it does down more. Then at 50k the pressure is 90% less.

It is the reverse. At 50k there is 300% more pressure. So weird.

[Avinash Kaushik @avinash]

Does this happen to you... I'm reading through my old newsletters and thinking....

Good god, these are terrible. How did 50k people sign up for this?

@trionia You are so very kind to share such encouraging words. Merci!

[Avinash Kaushik @avinash]

@avin_narasimhan I like to think it is the reason for this unrequited drive to get better. But. It never goes away.

I recommend getting out of the office during lunch. Grab some food (thai tofu curry, jasmine rice) and go walk around.

I had lunch with geese today, then walked around the campus. So pretty.

(I love the new bike racks!)

Micro-loans are a great way to support people for whom relatively modest for us funds can have a transformative impact.

I use Kiva, I invite you to consider it as well: https://t.co/uCMRi34GLw

My recent loans are for women entrepreneurs (higher halo vs. men) in Cambodia & Peru.

@AimanFarooq Thank you for the recommendations Aiman, I'll be sure to check them out. After a quick glance, Syncthing might be exactly what I was looking for.

Problem to solve: Keep in sync files btwn 2 laptops that are at diff locations. What's the simplest answer?

Tried to hook a drive to my Asus ZenWiFi AX6600 to use as common source, but errors, confusion.

Hooked a cheap NAS to home network, laptop won't "discover."

Provocative!

@baekdal Hmm... Google you say? Seems like I would have heard of it. :)

(I was trying to jury rig this myself, sans cloud. But, that now seems silly. I should just use GD.)

[Avinash Kaushik @avinash]

@gunnarulle Oh, I should have said that. Both Win 11.

[Avinash Kaushik @avinash]

@baekdal That is a good example of the presenter being the story. You do it so well Thomas.

[Avinash Kaushik @avinash]

#presentationtips

1. PowerPoint does not suck, you do. To improve, fix the right problem.

2. You are the story, not the slides.

Good luck!

@JohnMu @VanMoof : )

Do not disagree with you John. The S5 is a few months out, I was trying to see if I should just get an S3. Not much of a difference (after I did the math).

[Avinash Kaushik @avinash]

#digital #Merchandising

Don't be like my beloved @VanMoof, and make me do math for every row when comparing the S5 with the S3.

This is hard for customers... Lowers conversion rates...
