When it comes to social media platforms, LinkedIn might come across as Facebook’s older, more responsible, and infinitely more boring sibling. When it comes to functionality, however, it is an invaluable resource to professionals all across the globe. As of 2021, LinkedIn has more than 774 million registered members from more than 200 countries, and […]
Gamification became more common in 2010 when it became more specifically associated with the integrating of social/reward elements of games into software. Since then, businesses have been developing gamification platforms, and marketers are employing game elements within their marketing campaigns. An FYI about the concept — it originated in 1896 with S&H Green Stamps, where […]
After adjusting to working remotely for the past year, it’s about time to head back to work. In some cases, some people have already returned. In either case, it’s not going to be a smooth transition. Some people would prefer to continue working from home — while others may still be concerned about their safety. […]
It seems like ages ago. But, do you remember the optimism that we were all basking in back in the spring? Maybe, just maybe, things were returning to a pre-pandemic life. Case in point, a Deloitte survey was conducted in April 2021. At the time, over two-thirds of the respondents (67%) were still fully remote. However, […]
It’s no secret that there’s an app for everything. In fact, on average, there are 100,000 new Android apps released in the Google Play store each month. As for iOS apps? Every month around 30,000 new apps pop up in the App Store. While having such a variety can be epic, it can also be […]
Let’s be real here. If you aren’t moving forward, then you’re falling behind. And that can occur in every aspect of your life. For example, if you’re growing in your marriage, this will be a bumpy road. And, if you’re maintaining the status quo at work, you’re either going to become dissatisfied or surpassed by […]

While it’s not as thrilling as having thousands of fans cheer you on, it’s critical if you […]
As the saying goes, “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” After all, if nothing changes, we stay neutral. And, that’s a problem. Growth becomes stagnant. It’s impossible for us to evolve. We don’t improve for the better. In short, this isn’t good for me, you, and quite frankly the world. But, can you actually train yourself […]
I remember many years ago, when I was still considered a kid myself, hating the Staples “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” back-to-school commercial. It reminded me that the summer was coming to an end, which meant no more fun. Of course, my parents didn’t argue with the commercial — and totally related […]
I’m an avid reader, but sometimes, I’m just not in the mood. With all of the Covid stress this last year, I noticed that I’ve listened to more and more audiobooks, even for pleasure reading. When I just listen, rather than a hard copy book reading, it’s like last week. I spent hours each day […]
