TrickedIn: A plea to Reid Hoffman

trickedin:

Dear Mr. Hoffman,

This past week, a group of us in Singapore worked with a local nonprofit to create a LinkedIn account based on true stories of trafficked victims. The profile represents the voices of thousands of women who are trafficked into the sex trade in Asia each year.

More often than…

Anonymous asked: How to survive in a job?

For some reason, “Anonymous” submitted this question to me well over a dozen times. Dude, I don’t know; I’ve never tried to “survive” in a job. Find something that you love to do and strive be the best in your field.

The Creative Technologist

Creative Technologists are a new type of breed. The Creative Geek (or “Creek” for short) has a very unique and mixed profile. It’s a profile where the left side of the brain meets the right side. Creeks are logical, rational, analytical and objective which are all qualities coming from their technical background and left side of the brain while equally they are random, intuitive, synthesizing and subjective which are all qualities coming from the right side and creative side of the brain. They have this unique blend that looks at the parts as well at the wholes.

Not too keen on the “Creek” definition, but wholeheartedly agree with the need for people that are both Creative and Technology “aware” and can drive innovation within organizations.
