    As for #GloballyInclusive, I feel like that would go well beyond technical solutions and quickly into #politics and other #inclusiveness topics, which I'm sure isn't the goal here (not that they aren't very important goals otherwise).

  24. The Humble Boost: Rethinking How We Recognise Talent

    🔮 What if the loudest voices aren’t the ones making the biggest impact?

    A Managing Director once said to me:

    “Those who shout the loudest often get the best opportunities — but they’re not always the best for the job.”

    That stuck with me.

    In many teams, the quietly confident, high-impact performers get overlooked — especially when we layer in how gender influences how success is communicated and received.

    🟣 The humble ones aren’t looking for applause.

    🟡 But without them, businesses wouldn’t run.

    In my latest article, “The Humble Boost,” I explore:

    ✨ The subtle bias in how we interpret confidence

    ✨ Why we need to ‘standardise’ contributions

    ✨ How leaders can rebalance recognition — especially mid-year

    📥 It’s time we rethink how we measure value and empower performance — across ALL voices.

  30. It’s time for hate-based Christianity to be stopped!

    Some recent media reports indicated that just prior to his passing, the late Pope Francis wrote Catholic bishops warning them not to fall for the Christian doctrine being touted by some in the current American administration, especially regarding immigration. This post will go one further. It’s not just interpretations that are the problem, it is hate-based doctrines being pushed by some Christians pitting people against one another.

    As one who was raised Christian, and who has explored many facets of the religion for more than a half-century, the unfortunate increase in hateful pseudo-Christianity is hard to fathom.

    Instead of preaching love and forgiveness, far too many churches have evolved into a hate-based theocracy. Nearly as bad is the prosperity gospel that claims you are rewarded monetarily for being a good Christian. It’s almost like those weird television preachers of late-night programming from our youth have somehow found an audience.

    And whenever a thoughtful counter-response is expressed by those who still preach love-based beliefs, it is too often drowned-out or ridiculed by naysayers at the highest levels of government, media, and even religion. Case in point was the vitriol aimed at Bishop Budde of the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. after she advocated for compassion and mercy by the new administration.

    So many 21st century Christians, especially men, are now sounding vengeful, hateful, inconsiderate, and fear-mongering. Immigrants, minorities, the poor, the unhoused, gays, those of other beliefs, and even women are being singled out and vilified. Anyone or anything that is somehow perceived as contrary to the a “white men are right” gospel have become fair game to many evangelists, priests, pastors, preachers, and parishioners.

    Did any of these people actually read the New Testament? Do they know what the Beatitudes are? What grace is? Do they realize Jesus was from the Middle East and was not white? Or is it just easier (and lazier) to become a successful ministry by pushing a hate-based doctrine? This is certainly NOT the Christianity most of us grew up with.

    It used to be said that one cannot act one way on Sunday and then behave another way the rest of the week. Well, today, bad behavior seems to be a week-long activity amongst some Christians. And with their easy-to-use “get out of sin jail free card” always available through confession or repentance, why should bad actors even worry about how they behave? All they have to do is confess or apologize and everything suddenly becomes hunky dory — despite how many people they harmed, hurt, or betrayed. Frankly, at some point, there has to be some form of “divine justice” for serial hate-mongers within Christianity at the time they are behaving that way. Otherwise, the faith gradually loses its credibility in the public realm.

    Generally, it is believed that comeuppances for bad behavior here on Earth take place after death, as we were taught in Sunday School (a.k.a. Hell or Purgatory). However, Karma is a useful concept from Eastern religions that helps one cope with so much of the free-flying crapola taking place in the world these days.

    Some might argue that believing in Karma is counter to Christianity. Perhaps, but, nearly every major religion does have some principle that relates to actions having consequences, including Christianity. Furthermore, how is Karma’s belief in “a law of cause and effect” different from the following?

    • The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you;”
    • Galatians 6:7. “for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap;” or
    • Matthew 7:18: “A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit;”
    • Newton’s Third Law: “each action has an equal and opposite reaction;”
    • Or even the old adage of: “What goes around, comes around.”

    Once again, it seems that the ever-present “get out of sin jail free card” is the single biggest enabler of hate-based Christians. Why behave on Earth when eternity in Heaven is promised to those who eventually repent? Please explain how such a belief system improves life on Earth right here, right here and right now?

    • Hate doesn’t end poverty.
    • It doesn’t solve crimes or end wars.
    • It certainly does not solve racism, bigotry, or injustice.
    • Hate does not reduce sin.
    • And hate absolutely does NOT promote peace, love, and understanding.

    Meanwhile, living a mindful, loving, empathetic, and compassionate life while we are here on Earth would go a long way towards easing the hate-filled atmosphere pervading so much of our country and planet. All we have to do is be nice, be kind, and show others grace. Why is that so hard?

    Peace!

  31. Privileged insulation versus “peaceful ‘good trouble'”

    The fear percolating throughout the United States is palpable and as a result, a number citizens have considered, or in some cases, have acted upon changing their residency over the past six months or so. That being said, many, many others have chosen “peaceful good trouble” such as protests, letter-writing campaigns, phone calls, sit-ins, boycotts, letters to the editor, and other similar efforts as a way to restore the hopes and dreams of the nation we have always aspired to be.

    Source: rd.com

    Those who have the wherewithal to leave the United States should bear in mind that most Americans do not have the option to insulate themselves from the ongoing discord by simply relocating elsewhere. Furthermore, the decision to leave the country (whether temporary or permanent) will likely make the task of reversing the current political course that much harder.

    Why? Multiple reasons:

    • Each person who leaves reduces the number of potential voices speaking out against those policies that harm the disadvantaged, minorities, and the unprivileged, as well as many everyday Americans.
    • Every person who leaves is one less potential vote that could have been cast in opposition to the efforts of those who are reversing decades of rights and liberties achieved by those who have long been underrepresented. This could prove critical in purple states where margins of victory are often razor thin.
    • Without those who have left, consumer boycotts are likely to have less participants, causing them to take longer to be felt by the targeted organizations.
    • Each person who leaves could result in one less protestor on our streets decrying the adverse policies being imposed by the current administration.
    • Those with monetary wealth who decide to leave could reduce the potential funding for actions and campaigns designed to challenge and overcome unacceptable policies, including those perpetuated by oligarchs.
    • Reaching out from across the pond or from the other side of an international border will likely have minimal effect or influence on decision-makers, as it will likely be seen as coming from those who gave up their stake in the process.

    To be clear, nobody is saying that those who are truly in danger should stay in the United States and unduly risk themselves and their loved ones. However, given that a large proportion of those who decide to decamp from American tend to be of financial, racial, and/or social privilege, they are less likely to be the ones most directly impacted by the actions arising out of Washington, D.C…at least at this time.

    In the end, one’s place of residency is a personal decision. However, if America is to strive for the true “greater good,” enshrined by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, then it must be done loudly, boldly, and in unison, with voices raised from each and every distant corner of this vast landscape we all know and love. 

    Peace!
