Digital Kungfu Show

Send us Fan Mail The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't. Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models. Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps readers create their Hyper-Learning Mindset, choose and embrace their needed Hyper-Learning Behaviors, and adopt their daily Hyper-Learning Practices.

Send us Fan Mail Every interaction is a performance, and much of our success—professional and personal—hinges on being able to inspire an audience. And while some people seem to be naturals in the spotlight, this ability very rarely derives from talent alone.   Confident communication is a skill, and anyone can learn how to do it. In Steal the Show, New York Times best-selling author, top-rated corporate speaker, and former professional actor Michael Port teaches you how to make the most of your own moments in the spotlight. He makes it easy to give your presentations a clear focus, engage your listeners, manage your nerves, play the right role in every situation to give your message maximum impact, and much more. Drawing on his MFA training at the prestigious Graduate Acting Program at New York University, Port has engineered a system that the non-actor can use to ensure his or her voice is heard when it matters most.  Support the show Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Matt is joined by Herminia Ibarra who is an organizational behavior professor at London Business School. She is also the author of Act Like A Leader, Think Like A Leader. Ibarra turns the usual “think first and then act” philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight—the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a leader: about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why and which relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become. Packed with self-assessments and practical advice to help define your most pressing leadership challenges, this episode will help you devise a plan of action to become a better leader and move your career to the next level. It’s time to learn by doing. Support the show Support the show

Send us a text In this episode of The AI Advantage, Matt Brown talks with ScreenCloud co founder and CEO Mark McDermott about how AI is transforming an overlooked channel: the humble screen. Mark explains how ScreenCloud powers digital signage networks for more than 10,000 customers, especially in manufacturing and logistics, and why the real opportunity is not selling more products, but communicating better with deskless workers who never sit at a laptop. He unpacks how ScreenCloud uses AI to keep massive screen fleets online, automatically fix issues at the edge, and convert messy internal content into simple, screen ready messages that workers can absorb in seconds. Mark and Matt also explore the talent side of AI: why most applicants now “sound the same,” how AI is both filtering and generating CVs, and what individuals must do to avoid becoming “the great ignored” in the job market.
