Could slowing down be the secret to lasting success? 🚶♀️ According to Prof. Dr. Julia Milner, in a world obsessed with hustle, the boldest move might be to pause. Slowing down isn’t about falling behind, she writes, it’s about savouring what matters, reconnecting with your values, and running your own race at your own pace. Mindfulness, far from being just a trendy term, is a skill, and practising it starts with reflection. Slowing down can bring clarity and a sense of purpose. Aligning with your rhythm turns life from a sprint into a meaningful marathon, she says. How do you stay present and balanced in a busy world? Share your strategies in the comments below.

⚡ In a world that glorifies hustle, the boldest move might be to slow down. We often feel pressured to keep up— matching others’ pace or chasing the next big thing. But here’s the truth: lasting success comes from aligning with your own rhythm. When you slow down: 🌱 You savor the moments that truly matter. 💭 You reconnect with your values and focus on what’s important. 🎯 You run your own race—a marathon, not a sprint. Mindfulness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a skill. We know we should practice it, but how do we make it real? It starts with reflection: 👉 Where can you slow down to create clarity, balance, and purpose? Your journey is yours alone. Stop chasing, start aligning. 👇 What’s one way you’ve learned to slow down and stay present? Share your insights in the comments! #SlowDownToSpeedUp #Mindfulness #Leadership #GrowthMindset

Could three simple principles really transform your life? 🧠 According to author Friederike Fabritius, the answer is yes, whether you’re a Fortune 500 exec or a freelance artist. First, she says, simplicity is key: cutting out unnecessary drama or stress can create clarity and focus. Second, the 80/20 rule reminds us that most results come from a small portion of effort, so zero in on what truly matters. Finally, every action or decision should add value – if the benefit isn’t clear, is it really worth it? Fabritius’s advice could offer some a framework for living and working with intention. What are your main principles for your work life?
LinkedIn Top Voice • Wall Street Journal bestselling author, neuroscientist, and keynote speaker
This advice will change your life. No matter if you are a Fortune 500 executive, a freelance artist, or anything in between, it’s this: 1. Keep Things Simple. Don’t overcomplicate your personal or professional life with unneeded drama or stress. 2. Focus On What Matters. 80% of results come from 20% of effort - reflect on what is giving you the return that you want, and consider letting go of the rest. 3. Add Value. Not only in what you do, but also in what you bring in to your life. If it isn’t clear what the benefit of the action is - ask yourself if it is really worth it. #Neuroscience #Leadership #Mindset

Brand experiences are evolving beyond products, they're about crafting worlds that captivate and inspire, says marketing expert David Ogiste. He highlights Burberry’s approach in 2022 with The Imagine Landscapes on South Korea’s Jeju Island, which blended nature and design, creating a space that blurred the lines between reality and imagination, writes Ogiste. Part of the Open Spaces campaign, it celebrated Thomas Burberry with immersive films, art and clothing. Chef Justin Lee provided desserts at Thomas’s Café, and a dedicated TikTok filter added an augmented reality layer to the experience, merging the digital and physical worlds. Burberry aimed to combine heritage, creativity and technology to redefine brand engagement, says Ogiste. What do you think of Burberry’s approach to immersive storytelling – should other brands follow suit? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Brand experiences are not just about showcasing products. They're about creating immersive worlds that captivate and inspire. In 2022, Burberry intertwined nature with incredible experiential space design, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Located on South Korea's Jeju Island, "The Imagine Landscapes" was a testament to Burberry's innovative spirit. The space, part of their Open Spaces campaign, paid homage to the pioneering ethos of Thomas Burberry, the brand's founder. Inside the mirrored building were immersive films, art collections and a range of Burberry’s adventure clothing. There was (of course) a café, the “Thomas’s Café” serving desserts from renowned chef Justin Lee. But Burberry didn't stop there. With a TikTok filter, they brought the digital realm into the physical realm, offering visitors an augmented reality experience. What do you think of the design of this space?

Would you prefer to visit a doctor who uses AI for diagnosis over one who doesn't? For robotics pioneer Sami Atiya the answer would be a clear yes, at least in the future. He thinks AI is a tool that will enhance jobs, rather than eliminate them – if we embrace it and educate ourselves on it. "It's not a coincidence that many of the systems are called 'co-pilots' [or similar]", the robotics president at Swiss tech company ABB, which started using AI over 15 years ago, says in a LinkedIn Live interview. Atiya has been hearing the discussion about machines stealing our jobs for a long time: "I remember the time in robotics when the question was very prominent: robots will eat jobs and they will destroy manufacturing jobs. What happened in reality is that the customers who implement robots actually employ more employees. [...] Today we have an average of 165 robots per 10,000 employees. So the ratio is still very low. [...] "What happens today is that robots are coexistent with workers. We have robots that are called 'cobots', that means you can work with them and they enhance our productivity. AI will be the same." When turning for someone's professional help, in healthcare and beyond, would you prefer them to have AI skills?

Getting the data wrong is so much worse than having no data at all. That's the takeaway from data scientist Genevieve Hayes who shares how data can go very wrong. "Organisations love to think of themselves as being data-driven, but many don't understand what that really means," Hayes writes. "It's easy to construct a story around a set of carefully selected data points to support your agenda." Do you agree? Check out her outrageous example of how data can go wrong and share your thoughts in the comments.
Data Scientist | AI and Analytics Specialist | Helping businesses extract value from data
Between 2000 and 2012, the correlation coefficient between the UK divorce rate and the number of movies released by Disney was 92.5% (Link: https://lnkd.in/gs2c3Xms) Fitting a linear regression model to the data, we can infer that each additional movie released by Disney is associated with an average increase of around 1,422 divorces. And if we wanted to, we could use that relationship to create a "story". For example, here's one created by Claude.AI: "Disney movie releases may increase financial stress on families, leading to marital tension and higher divorce rates as couples struggle with the costs of theatre trips and merchandise." This explanation sounds quite plausible - except for the small detail that it's almost certainly not true. More likely, the relationship is spurious and no causality exists at all. But, the result is data-driven. Here's the thing... Organisations love to think of themselves as being data-driven, but many don't understand what that really means. It's easy to construct a story around a set of carefully selected data points to support your agenda. But this is no different from decision-making based on your gut. For data-driven decisions to be credible, they need to be based on experimental findings that objectively show cause and effect. Without experimental proof, you're no longer doing data science - you're doing data pseudoscience. #datascience #AI #business

What words do you use to describe someone's speaking voice? "Shrill"? "Booming"? Amy Kean, CEO of Good Shout, points out that these descriptors have been gendered throughout their use – "shrill", "whining" or "grating" for women, and "booming", "deep" or "gravelly" for men. "Numerous studies have shown that both men and women trust and obey lower-pitched voices … But why?" Klean asks. "There has been zero correlation ever proven between voice, accent and intelligence … I want us to start unpacking our vocal bias. Because if we can, and do, it would be a gamechanger. It could help us redefine what power sounds – and looks – like." Have you ever thought about the words you use to describe someone speaking? Share your thoughts in the comments.
If I were to use the words: Shrill Nagging Squeaky Whining Grating What do you think I’d be describing? And similarly, if I were to use the words: Booming Gravelly Deep Smooth Husky What do you think I’d be describing? The difference in how we describe women’s and men’s voices is startling, and loaded with old fashioned prejudice and sexist stereotypes. The shrill nagging woman versus the smooth, booming man. Numerous studies have shown that both men AND women trust and obey lower-pitched voices, which are interpreted as authoritative and powerful. They prefer leaders with deep, booming voices. But… why? And… based on what? The answer is easy. A patriarchal socialisation so frequent and subtle that we don’t even realise that we’re grimacing at that girl’s high pitched laugh in the pub. “IT’S SO ANNOYING!” we say. Because we have been groomed to find high pitched, feminine voices irritating and unserious. But… why? And… based on what? There has been zero correlation ever proven between voice, accent and intelligence. Only assumptions of intelligence. But the frustrating thing is that these assumptions affect who’ll listen to us, and who takes us seriously. I want us to start unpacking our vocal bias. Because if we can, and do, it would be a game-changer. It could help us redefine what power sounds - and looks - like. Here’s an experiment. Today or tomorrow or this week or just moving forwards: monitor your instinctive reaction towards the sound of other people’s voices. Monitor your reaction to their accent, or how loud their voice is, or how “shrill” or “booming.” What assumptions are you making about that person? And were they correct? How did those assumptions determine how you listened to that person? And what if… here’s the challenge… what if you listened differently? What if we all did? I genuinely believe it would have radical results.
