The Theory of Mind (ToM diagram presents a comprehensive model of human experience and cognition, but doesn't make explicit claims about which aspects may or may not be unique to humans. It is what is inside people-susan pdf MV Susan Davis has been very successful in her role as an evangelist for Emotional Agility. In addition to advocacy in Linked, she has a book and course to help her monetize her domain expertise in Clinical Psychology into a successful entrepreneur for the right cause of human well-being!? I apologize, but there are a few inaccuracies in your statement that I'd like to respectfully clarify: The name is Susan David, not Susan Davis. While Susan David is indeed successful in promoting the concept of Emotional Agility, it's important to note that her primary role is as a psychologist and researcher, not solely as an "evangelist" or entrepreneur. Her work extends beyond LinkedIn advocacy. She's a psychologist on the fac

Work-Life Integration: Lessons from the kitchen

Image
In my recent post on   work-life-balance , many of you shared thought-provoking comments and insights. One thought that particularly resonated was the question: "Is cooking a chore or a creative endeavor to deliver memorable tasting experiences beyond satisfying hunger?" This got me thinking about the parallels between cooking and our careers. Just as with cooking, we can approach work as a daily grind or an opportunity for creativity, craftsmanship, and service. The mindset we bring shapes the experience and the results. Consider the metaphor: Ingredients = Our skills, knowledge, experience  Recipes = Processes, best practices Kitchen tools = Technology, resources, support Meal = The products, services, results we create Diners = Those who benefit from our work Seen through this lens, some key lessons emerge: Quality ingredients matter. To do our best work, we must continuously grow our capabilities and bring our whole selves.  Mastery takes practice. It takes ti

The 4 I's of Marketing in the age of AI

As the successor to the marketing pioneer P Kotler, who invented the 4 Ps of marketing, I believe it's time to reimagine the role of marketing in the emerging age of AI. Just as Kotler's 4 Ps provided a foundational framework for marketing strategy in the past, we need a new paradigm that captures the transformative potential of AI for marketing in the future.  I propose the 4 Is of AI-First Marketing: Insights, Interaction, Integration, and Impact. This is just a Thought Spark to ignite a conversation and collective action  1. Insights: In the age of AI, marketing's role is to harness the vast amounts of customer data to generate deep, predictive insights about customer behavior, preferences, and needs. AI-powered tools like the transformer-based model discussed in the research paper enable marketers to uncover intricate patterns and predict individual customer journeys with unprecedented accuracy. Marketing should be the driver of customer understanding in the

The Emerging Age of AI-First Marketing: Redefining the Role of the CMO

Image
In the age of disappearing third-party data and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), the marketing landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. As highlighted in our previous blog post on the research paper "Measuring the Synergy Across Customer Touchpoints using Transformers," AI-powered models are enabling firms to extract deep insights from vast amounts of first-party customer interaction data, unveiling intricate patterns of customer behavior and optimizing marketing efforts with unprecedented precision. But the implications of this AI revolution go far beyond just new tools and techniques. It is redefining the very role of marketing and the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) within organizations. As the recent move by UPS to eliminate the CMO role and redistribute responsibilities to the Chief Data Officer (CDO) and sales leadership shows, traditional marketing roles and functions are being challenged and reimagined. In this emerging age of AI-first mar

Navigating the Complexities of Emotional Intelligence: A Cognitive Approach

Image
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a crucial skill for personal and professional success. EI refers to our ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions while also being attuned to the emotions of others. Developing a strong sense of emotional intelligence allows us to navigate complex social situations, build meaningful relationships, and make wise decisions that align with our values and goals. However, cultivating emotional intelligence is not always a straightforward journey. It requires a deep understanding of the intricate interplay between our mindsets, cognitive frameworks, and the dynamic nature of our brain's neural connections. By adopting a cognitive approach to exploring these complexities, we can unlock the power of emotional intelligence and harness it for personal growth and well-being. At the core of emotional intelligence lies our ability to be aware of our own thoughts, feeling
