Role Models of Confident Humility: Profile #1 Jesus Christ

Let's Grow Leaders

'When I think of role models of confident humility, it’s hard to imagine a better example than Jesus.

CTOvision

9 Years, 965 Posts and My Leadership Secrets (Thanks Don Quixote)

Terry Starbucker

'9 years ago this week, I started this blog with a declaration (of sorts): Yes, I always tend to look at the glass as “half full” – call me an eternal optimist, call me a fool, but I find it’s the best way to live one’s life with the least amount of angst. 965 posts later, I find myself sitting in front of my computer thinking about all that has happened after I drew that line in the sand.

Peak Performance: Continuous Testing & Evaluation of LLM-Based Applications

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Let's Grow Leaders

'A guest post by Frank Sonnenberg. When you hear the word holiday , what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, shopping, parties, sales, and catalogs rank near the top of your list.

The Paper Free Office – Fact or Fiction?

CTOvision

'By John Mancini. By AIIM president, John Mancini. The paper free office is touted as being more efficient, cost saving and obviously dramatically reducing the environmental footprint – so why is paper usage actually on the increase in some offices?

Thinking About What You Don't Know

The Programmer's Paradox

I've observed that many people, when they think about stuff, choose to limit themselves to only what they know. That is, they revisit the facts and opinions with which they are familiar, over and over again, trying to squeeze something new from them. What I've always found, that tosses a big wrench into the works, is not what is known but rather what isn't.

The ‘why’ of sales and selling will lead you to be the wise salesperson.

Strategy Driven

'I sat in a Jim Rohn seminar one day in 1995 and heard him say, “Formal education will earn you a living. Self-education will earn you a fortune. You decide how much of a fortune you want to earn by how willing you are to self-educate.”. I was frozen in my front-row seat.
