My first @limebike ride! NOW it’s time for @Google Glass. Where’s my heads up display when I need it! 🙁

@thelauracoates Thought you were great last night on CNN. Hoping it was more of an audition vs. a “fill in”. We need more intellect and expertise like yours providing voice to the issues in that medium.

As a listener and consumer, I’ve downloaded more music from iTunes and Amazon in the past 2 months than I have in 2 years all because the DJs on IG and FB are reminding me what I don’t have and what I need to have.

[DJ Jazzy Jeff @djjazzyjeff215]

Since these are unprecedented times we need to address the elephant in the room &have a sit down between the DJs & the record companies/publishers to resolve this issue. As a DJ we have provided comfort & an escape for people going through difficult times so now is not the time.

I Know You’re Trying To Be Helpful But...

I know how to turn on my video and I know it’s off. Please stop telling me to turn it on. I don’t feel like being seen right now.

@united Urgent: I left my prescription meds on my flight yesterday-called cust service 4x, talked to 4 diff ppl; put in a left item ticket, stated I must take daily. Each time I was told “we have a process that needs to be followed” Why are my RX meds treated same as a scarf?

What will you gain independence from?

July 4th was what we in the US celebrate as Independence Day - when the 13 colonies gained freedom from the British (sorry to my Brit friends, just history).

Don't settle for seeing the future - TOUCH IT

Seeing the future used to be enough, it's not anymore. Now you have to find where it is and touch it.

William Gibson said, “The future is already here, it's just not very evenly distributed.” It's out there…https://t.co/i83lPxAk2Q

Re-imagining for Free

The word "re-imagine" seems to be the new "strategic" or "innovative" - put it in front of anything and it sounds better. But when a 90+ year old public institution does it I think you have to stop and pay attention.

Recently, I v…https://t.co/9WvGsHPnPq

3 Lessons from London

I recently finished spending 5 months with top talent in EMEA. While they learned, I did and was reminded of 3 key lessons:

The business of YOU in a VUCA world is just as important as the business you’re in. Commitment to your…https://t.co/vcVxn5os27

What’s your theme song?

“Cookies, cookies, cookies, Co-OOO-kies.”

Those are the words passionately sung by a 7 year-old Girl Scout selling cookies outside my local grocery store.

It seems every market has Girl Scouts selling cookies and I can’t say yes…https://t.co/FAKpJDIDAb

Do we still use maps? Not that kind.

At the end of '18 I was on a call with colleague who mentioned she’d just come from her company’s 2019 ROADMAP meeting. I thought, “When was the last time I created a personal or professional ROADMAP for the year?” An…https://t.co/lwe12pQ2Pc

Just 8%.

The 8% many ignore.

The 8% we get distracted into squandering. I know I have.

The 8% is this last month, where around the world the “foot-comes-off-the-gas”, soul-cleansing exhales are released, and well-deserved celebrations ensue. I get…https://t.co/KwBgOiP2pQ
