Trust
Trust
CX in the age of privacy and trust, part 3: Can we rebuild trust?
Tim Walters
Fits nicely into something I read recently from Union Square Ventures …. Trust is offence (trust gaps create opportunities for startups) as well as defence (trust is a moat).

Skills

Soft skills … wooly, fluffy, comfortable … not like ’ real, hard, proper skills are they?
Soft skills, bendy, malleable, unmeasurable … nothing like ’ real, hard, proper skills …
.. and yet
I often talk about vocabulary and language …. here’s another one … because if you list all the skills that people are highlighting as important in the future - it’s close identical to the soft skill list.
My advice … get into that cuddly warm blanket and embrace those soft skills – you can always learn the other skills as and when you need them … despite the name … they’re not that hard.

Character

I was really taken by these words that came in an email from one of my newsletter readers. Capturing it for posterity … because it is important.
character future of work Work archive.pf.businessCharacter may be something you are born with and largely in place by age 5 but surely it is something that is developed and refined in many ways through a thousand experiences in both good and bad directions. Right?
Since a zillion years ago I have ALWAYS subscribed to “hire character, teach skills”. It has never let me down and the boneheaded moves I have made here and there were when I deviated from this.

The Future of Work

First, there are many possible futures - it is not yet clear what the future is, so we should be asking what is …
A Future of Work?
Second, what the hell is ‘work’ - why do we care about it?
If you ask most people if all their creature comforts were taken care of - would they continue to do what they are doing? More than likely they will answer ’no’ - the question then is what is …
The/A Future of Income?
Third, the future is already here, so let’s call it
The Present of Work
…. and by the ‘Present of Work’ - your life, labour, time to do your work is not a gift, not a present. You should be paid fairly and equitably for your contribution.

Technology
Technology
Technology is one of the eight pillars of People First … with a single, solitary ‘stone’, a mighty ‘Sarsen’ reaching to the sky that is that pillar.
Technology … OMG … Technology
- Owned
- Managed
- Governed
… not by you - by others.

Dear Podcast Creator,
We’d like to share some updates that help improve the experience for your listeners on Apple Podcasts and make it easier to manage your content.
Search Enhancements: International Expansion
Today on Apple Podcasts listeners can now discover shows and episodes by searching audio in 10 more languages in addition to English:
Danish Dutch French German Japanese Korean Norwegian Russian Spanish Swedish
With this enhancement, listeners can easily search for and find shows by title, topic, guest, host, and more with just a few taps.
Moreover, we are expanding host and guest images across show and episode pages for a subset of shows in French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, making it easier to find related content to help fans dive deeper into the listening experience.
These features are routinely added to more shows. To prepare your show for eligibility:
Sign in to Podcasts Connect to review and accept the latest Terms of Service if needed.
Identify the appropriate language in the show RSS feed.
If your show page already displays a Hosts & Guests section and you’d like to update or add images, contact us.**
Podcaster Support Updates
We’ve enhanced Podcaster Support and published dozens of new articles to make it easier than ever to find the answers to your questions.
These resources will guide you through every step of your journey as a podcast creator — from brainstorming your show’s idea to generating and submitting a podcast RSS feed. You will also find valuable resources on how to monitor your show’s performance and optimize your marketing strategy.
Best regards, The Apple Podcasts team
