  • How to Reinvent Yourself and Your Company in the AI World, for Leaders_Episode 41, Season 2

    How to Reinvent Yourself and Your Company in the AI World, for Leaders_Episode 41, Season 2
    Nov 25 2024
    What I mean by the word “reinvent” is to evolve, to grow. Set goals and take action. The journey to reinvent and rebrand yourself starts with your first step, and the next step… Eventually you become a better, stronger, and happier self after the 10,000th step.
    • Don’t wait for opportunities to happen to you.
    • Opportunities favor the prepared.
    • Create the conditions for opportunities.
    • Create opportunities.

    Let’s face it: change is uncomfortable, even threatening. It seems only yesterday that you achieved certain stability in your life, career, or your company. It seemed to have taken all you’d got to get there, and you thought you could now enjoy a long vacation, to recharge and get some well-deserved rest - only to be rudely awoken: Get up, put on your running shoes, and race again.

    (A) Lead yourself and reinvent yourself, before you can lead organizational changes (B) Change is incremental. Start small to change yourself before changing the world (C) An individual CAN change the world, with many other individuals

  • Personal Brand Building for Board Member Candidates and Board Assessment Improvement_Season 2, Episode 40

    Personal Brand Building for Board Member Candidates and Board Assessment Improvement_Season 2, Episode 40
    Nov 4 2024
    To become a board member requires more than industry expertise, domain expertise, functional expertise, or specialized expertise. Recent survey reveals discontent by board members about their peers: Almost half of them want at least one board member replaced, and a quarter of board members want more than two members replaced. Joanne Z. Tan explains, from both individual candidates' point of view and the boards' perspective, how to improve the right fit, why personal brand building is the first step for aspiring board members, before they develop their LinkedIn profile, board bio, and resume, and what can a board do to improve onboarding assessment of candidates.

  • The Best Thing from This Presidential Election: Get Rid of Electoral College - You and Me! _Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 39

    The Best Thing from This Presidential Election: Get Rid of Electoral College - You and Me! _Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 39
    Oct 26 2024
    It is time to get rid of the electoral college! All voters, regardless of their political affiliation, are disenfranchised because the power of our votes are either diluted or inflated, depending entirely on where you live. This is contrary to the intention of the Constitution and its Amendments regarding equal rights under the law. This is against the “one person, one vote” principle. This is a non-partisan issue.

    To read it as a 5-minute blog

    To watch it as a 5-minute video

    Across the political spectrum, advocates for abolishing the electoral college system include Brookings Institution, the Heritage Foundation, National League of Women Voters, Pew Research Foundation, etc.

    How can we replace the electoral college system?

    There are two ways: either by Constitutional Amendment, or by the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).

    Amending the US Constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both US House of Representatives and the Senate.Three-fourths of state legislatures must then ratify the amendment. This is challenging, since states with disproportionately more voting power won’t easily give up.

    NPVIC, on the other hand, can bypass this challenge, with the state's plenary power over election, believed to be given by the US Constitution. As of now, 17 states have already signed up, consisting of 77% of the 270 electoral votes needed to elect a President. When more states join the pact, they will award all their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

    What can we do as citizens?

    Sign up and do something, at various organizations, such as:

    https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/ (Bipartisan support for NPVIC)

    https://www.lwv.org/opov (League of Women Voters)

  • AI Generated Reality and the Slow Oblivious Death of Human Race_Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 38

    AI Generated Reality and the Slow Oblivious Death of Human Race_Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 38
    Oct 9 2024

    The great irony: The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded today (Oct. 9, 2024), to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their work that contributed to AI neural networks and pattern recognition, among other areas. At least one of these AI godfathers is not optimistic about AI:

    Geoffrey Hinton was asked by journalists following the announcement about Generative AI and ChatGPT, he said: “We have no experience of what it’s like to have things smarter than us”. Hinton has frequently voiced fears of an AI apocalypse.

    Joanne Z. Tan likens it to an "Oblivious Death" syndrome, very much like a frog being boiled slowly to death, as humans become overly reliant on AI-generated realities. AI could lead to a loss of human ability to discern reality independently, based on human first hand experiences. This can also lead to mental health issues resulting from misrepresented virtual realities created by AI.

  • A Pinhole into a Multiverse_A short poem by Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 37

    A Pinhole into a Multiverse_A short poem by Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 37
    Sep 14 2024
    Is our system-to-system way of modern living in harmony with the celestial way of life? Poet Joanne Z. Tan analogizes religion as a pinhole into infinity. "Through a Pinhole into a Multiverse"

    By Joanne Z. Tan

    (To watch this as a 2-min video

    From systems to systems,

    Our lives are lived daily:

    System of a society,

    System of laws,

    System of a family,

    System of a religion,

    System of a company,

    System of politics,

    System of an economy,

    System of cloud computing,

    System of AI …

    Struggling, straining, striving

    to stay on paths, to fit-in, to sacrifice, to comply.

    Only tens of thousands of years ago,

    humans lived like a free flowing poem,

    a part of the Universe:

    No destiny

    no purpose

    No goals

    No worries

    No controls…

    - Is a life of true luxury,

    like wild animals Earthly?

    ...

  • Customer Loyalty & Brand Loyalty Programs for B2B Services in the Age of AI_Joanne Z. Tan _Season 2, Episode 35_Joanne Tan

    Customer Loyalty & Brand Loyalty Programs for B2B Services in the Age of AI_Joanne Z. Tan _Season 2, Episode 35_Joanne Tan
    Aug 22 2024
    In the AI age, decision paralysis can drive customer loyalty, and is an opportunity for developing brand loyalty so long as a brand leads the market. B2B services need to rewards customers with loyalty programs. In the AI age, loyalty rewards and customer experience are the differentiators.

    AI will level the competitive playing field for many products and services by reducing costs across the board.

    When lots of B2B expertise will be at one’s fingertips, what differentiates one service from another is personalized customer experience, and loyalty programs. For B2B service providers (such as business consulting, leadership coaching, accounting or law, financial advisory), the age-old tradition of shying away from loyalty programs will make you fall behind. Joanne Z. Tan of 10 Plus Brand explains why and how.
