For women, singing is forbidden in Iran. This woman is bravely singing in one of Esfahan’s most historical mosques. When the security agent tried to stop her, she resisted and continued. Brave Iranian women like her will some day bring down this most anti-woman regime.

Dad: “I’m gonna grab a beer with the guys.” Daddy leaves, Bradley thinks.

Bradley: “mama, is grabbing a beer an adult version of a playdate?”

Bravo, Bradley. Bravo.

Intuitively, this research sounds spot on, validating the need to pause frequently throughout the day for performance and well-being and requires structural change from the top down.

I wonder if there are variations between different types of learners/ p…https://t.co/Xhv5Nx50Tf

Why are we so stressed? HBR talks about the micro-stresses. It's the little things we don't even notice that accumulate. They build. And they can burst.

One thing is for sure, we all need to practice more self-compassion. After reading this article, it h…https://t.co/zLQgLFJPD1

Beautifully written article and visual highlighting the idea that we cannot simply move from remote to in-person without adjusting how we work by redefining productivity and shifting mindsets. Love this. https://t.co/ElFV78HyoF

As companies make cuts and new demands on workers to be in-person, employees are likely feeling "forced" and sometimes "threatened" to return to work a certain way. Do you think this is a good equation for excellence, engagement, innovation or creativity…https://t.co/9HdVi9aE8m

@coldplay surprised with a recital of #shervin_hajipour #baraye, a song that went viral during Iran’s recent protests.
@coldplay were performing live at Buenos Aires.
It brought me to tears watching it live in a theater in Chicago.
@Golshifteh sings!
You folks are class!
Thanks!
