I was so fascinated by @robin.berjon.com's article, it moved me to write this, focussing on what national control over data truly means in an interconnected world & advocating for an approach that champions interoperability, individual rights & shared accountability. www.linkedin.com/pulse/unrave...

As the EU's Digital Markets Act rolls out, Apple users face a new era where third-party app stores and app sideloading become the norm. The increased 'freedom' & choice comes with a big catch: increased risks of malware infections. www.linkedin.com/pulse/naviga... #E2EE #DigitalSafety #DataPrivacy

I love this quote from @samrlevine.bsky.social, which I feature in An Interviewer's Guidebook. Patience isn’t passive—it’s powerful. In interviews silence can be the nudge that invites profound insights—what it takes is being fully present and having a willingness to 'let the quiet do the talking'.

Be inspired by Charles Barkley's approach: 'I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations' - but don’t skip the prep! With a solid foundation you can relax & let the chat flow naturally. Read more in my latest article. #AnInterviewersGuide www.linkedin.com/pulse/lesson...

I love this quote by Glennon Doyle Melton! In a world driven by quick exchanges, let’s remember that life is a conversation. Let’s make each one meaningful by approaching it with curiosity, empathy, and a bit of joy! #EffectiveCommunication #InterviewersGuidebook #EmpathyInAction

The key takeaway from this Kevin Bacon quote taken from his interview w/Sean Evans on Hot Ones is that, if you put the prep & research work in, your interviewee & your audience are going to appreciate it!

As someone who appreciates both the art of innovation and a good dollop of mayo, the news that researchers have used mayonnaise as a key to nuclear fusion couldn't be more exciting - and business bracing! #Innovation #CreativeThinking #SME #CompetitiveAdvantage www.linkedin.com/pulse/magic-...
