This makes 100% sense to me. OK, so you should probably be more specific wrt the comparison machines etc but still, new hardware requested sincerely and used extensively almost always bumps productivity. Not to speak of morale and innovation.

[Mynhardt van Pletsen @mynhardt]

A growth mindset is probably the most important step towards overcoming your most overwhelming obstacles and reaching your most daring goals. 🌱

[kraftlearninglab @kraftlearning]

As opposed to a fixed mindset, a growth mindset is the first step towards learning new things and becoming a better and improved version of your current self. Change is always possible, however - we need to be open to the possibility of our own future growth.

Some work things. Exciting happenings just around the corner. Join our tribe. 🥸

[kraftlearninglab @kraftlearning]

Some news and updates! Its been a week since we launched Speaking Clearly, and I think we learned more than the students. Congratulations to everybody that worked hard to get everything to this point, especially the students that engaged with the materials and the community.

[Mynhardt van Pletsen @mynhardt]

We are all creatives. Join the @kraftlearning community. ✨

[kraftlearninglab @kraftlearning]

Traditional wisdom states that only artists are creative. However anyone that contributes to make, develop, design, produce, manufacture, form or shape any project, product or service, is in essence partaking in the creative effort. Here’s how to be a master creative.

[Mynhardt van Pletsen @mynhardt]

Finally!

[kraftlearninglab @kraftlearning]

Tomorrow we are launching cohort 1.0 of Speaking Clearly and I couldn't be more excited. Although the beginnings are small, it represents a larger movement in lifelong learning and purposeful career-building that we're proud to be part of.

Good luck to all the learners!

If you ever want to learn something, start something.

[Paige Finn Doherty 🪩 @paigefinnn]

I asked my dad about his first month at a startup after spending decades at big companies:

“I have never learned so much in such a condensed period in my life ever”

[Mynhardt van Pletsen @mynhardt]

Like an online course, but different.

[kraftlearninglab @kraftlearning]

"Traditional MOOC’s with 40–50 hours of online content have an average completion rate of between 3% and 5%." Why are online courses not helping us to learn?

Honestly cannot imagine running a startup without @NotionHQ - using something like Google Docs as our documentation core would feel like the college project from hell

[Mynhardt van Pletsen @mynhardt]

I’m catching up!

[Easlo @heyeaslo]

2020: I use @NotionHQ to organize my school life.

2021: I made over $10,000 selling @NotionHQ templates.

That Zoom could’ve been a Loom.

[JUSTIN WISE @JustinWise]

Culture follows technology.

If technology is decentralizing...

...what might happen with culture?

Expecting people to show up in a specific place at a specific time for:

- work
- worship
- education
- recreation

...is a fool's errand.

So, don't be a fool.

It seems not that easy to come out with propper messaging for your product when you have no audience to test it with. Have to start building community.

@GarethCliff The great mask debate, you say.
