Yes or No Culture Divide

Dubai. Been there couple o' times. Has its issues. But has a crackle of business. London. Longtime in and around. Has its issues. Now there's the clatter of everything falling apart. A business owner - with a super online service up and running a few years now - recently left

The ability to predict the future is the best measure of intelligence

As so this week posted, and retweets, Elon Musk. He's promoting his own AI bot, singling out comparison with a particular competitor. Revealing he's in his own perhaps enemy building phase with said opponent. Still, in one sense, this proposed maxim is rubbish. Reminding me, among many such putdowns, of

Inertians Joined By Scoffers

I've long railed against what I like to call inertians. Those we encounter on a bid with first instinct always to retain the status quo. They are avowedly change-averse. Everything's fine as it is, well if not quite so rosy, then will be, soon. Firmly in the Denial phase of

Ratchet Effect Flag

I've long remembered the above cartoon. Once more tangentially reminded of it when talking someone through the Ratchet Effect. Technically, it refers to when a direction is so set in train, it's almost impossible to stop. On a bid, you can see this when what you propose is perceived to

5 Signs Your P̶h̶o̶n̶e̶ Deal Is Compromised

Had someone spy through your phone? The thought of it alone instils horror. Here's the latest five warning signs I read; * battery suddenly drains way quicker * overheats when idle * strange spikes in data consumption * SMS containing odd or unusual characters * weird activity when not in use, like screen lighting up

Conspiracy of Inertia

You don't get much more metropolitan liberal elite than former UK PM, Tony Blair. Since being turfed out of office, becoming extraordinarily rich advising the governing class across the globe. Many as reprehensible as they are immune to any ballet box, given his game on how to approach the way

Conclave Jockeys

Political mapping is a core part of solution selling. So intrigue oozes from this short-lived uploaded chart[ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ] (from London's Telegraph) of where papal runners sit ahead of the most secretive of ballots. Organised religion, blimey. Other views are open. In this race, the odds are widely reported as being

Change what you can. Accept what you cannot.

Summary advice from broadsheet columnist investor, Tom Stevenson. Revealing his general theme whilst 'Trump bump turns to Trump slump'. Which, his proffered crunched numbers claim, will be merely the blip of required correction. Haven't we all seen (not just) salespeople whirl in the maelstrom of anxiety when stuck, frozen in

What Does Best Working with a Corporate Psychopath Share with Optimal Selling?

I've lately seen a coincidental flurry on workplace hazards when dealing with tricky people. From the angry likely being more successful to how narcissism supposedly greases those often murky career wheels. And here's another. Given that roughly one in a hundred people are supposedly psychopaths, that quintet of (similar, save

Cases per Detective

In the land of my birth the public has lost confidence in their police. Just search how many phones are stolen in London each day. Burglaries, car thefts and shoplifting all go uninvestigated. But hey, you get a crime number for the insurance, if you have it. Not to mention
