I adore the indomitable spirit of zinnias - claiming their space! 🌼 Often, flowers aren't as fragile as they seem!

If your marketing budget is small, your courage needs to be huge.

You’re going up against brands that are older, more established, and already living rent-free in people’s minds. You can’t beat them by playing their game.

You have to break the rules.

Very tight control over AI “memory” is really critical to productive AI use.

If you don’t know what is in the context window, the AI responses can be contaminated in ways that make it more sycophantic or biased, or lead to sandbagging. It also can make it hard to share prompts with other people.

🚨 Don’t Build Your Brand on Borrowed Land! 🚨

You're playing a dangerous game if your brand relies entirely on social media platforms. Lately, we’ve seen massive shifts in social media rules, regs, ownership changes, and even associations with extreme ideologies.

What does that mean for you?

Great @jkatzaman.bsky.social! You know, about 2 years ago, Meghan had an interesting #WorkTrends podcast and Twitter chat with Franklin Covey CEO Paul Walker. They focused on the value of training employees for the long game.

I'd love to see your writeup on that, if it's easy to find. TY! #learning
If you know of a #WorkTrends guest since the start of 2018 and don't find the person in the search, give me the name so I can check my Google Docs. If I did an article, I can search by story title and get it to you.

Makes sense. Agents and GPTs are excellent at synthesizing data from a vast collection of sources. Why not task them with this kind of analysis? I haven't crossed paths with this yet, but expect to stumble across one or more serious attempts this year, (Hope so!) #Learning #Tech #Trends #AI
A new issue of Relentlessly Curious and Deeply Engaged takes on the reality of what it would take to actually make use of all the trend reports we're seeing right now. As always, its free so subscribe and share widely. Thanks for reading! #LearningAndDevelopment

10 years feels both like a lifetime and a moment when reflecting on the incredible impact of #AXSChat. The knowledge shared by nearly 500 amazing individuals is truly something to be proud of. Honoured to be part of this journey.

#WeAreBillionStrong #AccessFirst #Disability #A11Y #Inclusion
10 years is a very long time in the digital age but sometimes it feels like the blink of an eye. I’m proud of the great breadth of knowledge that we have been able to share through the #AXSChat interviews with nearly 500 people doing work on #accessibility & #inclusion
Over the past decade, #AXSChat has amplified voices globally, driving shift from charity-focused narratives to rights-based, intersectional approaches. Emphasis on universal design, inclusive tech, and lived experiences has redefined #Accessibility and #DisabilityInclusion.

In the world of enterprise learning systems, which
#trends will leave the biggest mark this year?

Of course, #AI is on my list in - several forms. But there's more to consider.
