hope if I can use logic

So humor aside, this is actually a great stakeholder management insight, and something I was just discussing with a smart junior researcher today - it's really tempting to want to show all your work up front, but please resist the urge. You have two goals in a debrief: 1) Get the key findings across to the stakeholders who have already bought into your findings and just want action items to rally around. 2) Convince skeptical stakeholders that they should believe that you are correct, and they should take your conclusions seriously. I often recommend calibrating your presentation to be one level of abstraction ABOVE the level you're prepared to drill down to in a meeting - most of your stakeholders don't need the detail, they just want the action items. And as for the skeptics? One of the most powerful things that happens in a presentation is when someone asks "well, how do you know that? What if it's X instead?" and then you jump down to the appendix where you've got the graph that shows exactly the answer to that, ostentatiously skipping past all the OTHER slides that you didn't show. It's a great (but not condescending or cruel) flex, and it makes everyone feel better about working with you.

In case you what know more about me.

Stop, before making it personal! More frequently than we think is not about us; it is about the other person’s story, beliefs, childhood, self esteem, fear, uncertainty. Lead yourself first with awareness, nourish your emotional intelligence, be compassionate and always ask questions to gain a better understanding of what is really going on. Avoid jumping into conclusions in a flash. Stop, breathe, connect. #Ladulcecoach #Traininganddevelopment #leadingchange #inspiraycrea #stopbreatheconnect

Once you realize you don't know everything, you learn a lot more

SO Important in our political climate today!

Jim Vasko agreed. One perspective from my side is: As a leader, you are the supplier of a service and those whom you lead are the customer. The question is... Are your customers needs and expectations being met or exceeded? If not, the "leader" may need to talk to their customer and be open to feedback and adjusting their business (leadership) plan.

In the ever-evolving world of technology and software development, the drive to learn and improve must come from within. It's not about being the best but being better than you were yesterday. Every line of code you write, every problem you solve, and every new concept you master brings you one step closer to your goals. Remember, growth happens when you step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to reach new heights. Keep pushing, keep learning, and keep evolving. #Motivation #TechLife #SoftwareEngineering #ContinuousLearning #GrowthMindset

Unlock growth with this simple shift: Lewis, your post definitely provides a deep sense of relief in a world where the race to perfection seems endless. Your acknowledgment that it's okay not to have everything figured out and the importance of self-compassion over relentless self-improvement is incredibly grounding. It's refreshing and empowering to be reminded that being in a state of discovery is not just acceptable, but crucial to genuine growth. Could you share how allowing yourself grace has shifted your perspective or led to new opportunities in your own journey? --- #SelfCompassion #GrowthMindset #PersonalDevelopment #SelfCare #LeadershipJourney #SelfImprovement #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #ContinuousLearning

Meanwhile.... 'experts' from Pensions La La Land heckle me before I reveal the math behind their flawed 20th Century Pension Schemes that fail to meet 9 in 10 workers needs. #Pensionwashing has misled the public into believing 'Low Cost' EBI, MPT and 60:40 Passive Funds offer the best 'Value for Money' (VfM) for 45m DC Workplace Pension pot owners hard earned savings. But this approach will not deliver the best outcome for most workers. 4x TO 10x HIGHER COSTS I shared generic data from 3 Cohorts of savers with the Financial Conduct Authority in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Independent Chartered Financial Advisors provided Default Fund performance for their most used Default Funds and reviewed my Analysis. On average their customers had lost the equivalent of 1.5x their current salary. The data indicates 2.8m SME business owners and 10m Workers have suffered serious financial harm worth £1 trillion. To put things right it will cost 4x to 10x higher contribution costs every payday. I understand my numbers inside out, left to right, upside down and shake em all about. In a nutshell, ILLIQUIDITY was not the worst case scenario for 9 in 10 savers, it was Pension La La Land blocking Step Change Innovation. For the last 15yrs #Pensionwashing has been used to cover up ineffective, inefficient and irrelevant liquid only Default Funds. RESTITUTION DAY (#RDay) I launched R-Day 🎃 in 2021 to help Firms identify their #BlindSpotRisk and #DoTheRightThing for 13m Taxpayers. 38 Regulated Pension Providers covering 95% of Pension Members ignored my warnings to address their failures. If you have joined a Workplace or Private Pension, R-DAY is now focusing on helping 13m Taxpayers discover how much they have lost. So after 3yrs of Firms failing to engage, it's TIME to reveal the true cost of 'low cost' 20th Century Pension strategies. It's #BUOMTIME and trust me, every second of delay counts. The math doesn't lie. Just Saying 🤷♂️ #BUOM #RDay 🎃 #ConsumerDuty #JusticeMatters
