There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.

For this Pride Month, I want to share a personal story. -- I moved to San Francisco in 1986 when I was 20 years old. I left my home in New Mexico with $600 in my pocket with no idea of what I'd do in SF. But when I drove into the City, I remember looking…lnkd.in/g5Chwhgx

When we look at our L&D current state, especially as it applies to the capability crisis we are facing, we need to be transparent about skills strategies. I've been assembling thoughts about the notion of upskilling strategies (I'll share the whole paper…lnkd.in/gKcX2z_C

The human-machine dynamic has shifted. Although many predicted automation to exponentially displace workers, it's not moving at the pace we thought. In fact, currently about 34% of business tasks are performed by machine with 66% still being handled by hu…lnkd.in/gv22fGQw

Me and my dad next to his prized Corvette. He taught me to drive in that car. The engine was so powerful that holding the clutch in was hard! And then me trying hard to catch a ball. Sigh. I was never the sportiest. When I think of Father's Day, I think…lnkd.in/gg_9dwMA
