Lessons from two maestros of persuasion! Discover their strategies with me. In my 4 years of intensive field study (aka parenting), I've discovered they masterfully use 3 techniques: 1. Persistence. ◾They don't shy away from asking - again, and again (and again...). ◾Rejection? Fear of it doesn't even cross their minds. ◾If they believe in it, they ask for it, relentlessly. 💪 In your life, find your courage and persist. 2. Emotional Bonding. ◾When their persistence hits a wall, they pivot - they tap into emotions. ◾Sure, they have an edge as my adorable kids, but the principle holds. ◾Building emotional connections triggers positive responses. 🤗 Want to be more persuasive? Foster that sense of belonging and connection. 3. Silence. ◾Yes, the sound of...nothing. It's a power move. ◾It shifts the dynamics of a negotiation. ◾It creates a vacuum that others rush to fill with extra information or suggestions. 🙉This may not work with my kids (their silence is a welcome relief!), but in a professional setting? Pure gold. ------------------ ⛔Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding human nature, utilizing these techniques ethically, and effectively communicating. Which of these techniques resonates with you? Share your thoughts in the comments. Let's continue the conversation there.

To read a tape measure correctly, first, identify the longest markings, which represent inches. Each inch is divided into smaller markings, which represent fractions of an inch (e.g., 1/4, 1/2, 3/4). Next, locate the numbers indicating inches and fractions. For measurements in centimeters and millimeters, locate the markings labeled with these units. Each centimeter is divided into 10 millimeters. To convert from millimeters to centimeters, divide by 10. To convert from centimeters to inches, divide by 2.54. Practice makes perfect. https://lnkd.in/eGXXfDq4

A question below for your thoughts and feedback, following some context. As many in my network know, plug-in hybrids have received some negative press recently, both in Europe and the US, due to higher recorded real-world fuel consumption vs. certified. Basically, owners not charging the vehicle as much as expected. A link in the comments on the data collected in Europe, as an example. My friend Tue Johannessen has recently posted his personal experience, where he achieved impressive fuel economy with his PHEV with reasonable driving and charging. His car consumed 0.3 l of fuel per 100 km instead of the certified 0.78 l/100km. The vehicle was certified at 18 g-CO2/km, so this is approximately emitting 7 g-CO2/km. Just for reference, the European CO2 limit for cars in 2030 is 50 g/km. Link to his post here. https://lnkd.in/e5r77wjb So my question: Why aren't there any inducement requirements for PHEVs in the regulations - that is, forcing the vehicle in a limp-home mode when the fuel consumption is higher than certification (with some tolerance)? Very likely this has been discussed in regulatory circles and I'm sure there are reasons why this is not implemented. But consumer inconvenience cannot be one .. after all, in the extreme case of a BEV, the vehicle stops without charge, so the same should apply to a PHEV. Would love to hear your comments.

Just how sensitive is the human ear? I have pondered this question and in an introductory chapter to the current AIHA Noise Manual (2022), I and my co-author Jen Tufts made some observations in that regard. Then, late last year Bill Yost published an article that also, albeit briefly, explored the issue. It got me thinking and I decided to dig a bit more deeply into my prior work and hence the comments cited below. The abstract reads: This letter-to-the editor is a comment on an article in the JASA Forum by William Yost. It pertains to a reference he made to prior work that indicates the possibility that the human threshold of hearing in the most sensitive region may be limited by Brownian motion of the air molecules, also called thermal noise. I present additional data and my own observations that support this contention. If this topic also interests you, and you are unable to access the PDF, please contact me for further information.

"Measured by the estimated number of deaths, the Tigray War in Ethiopia could be the deadliest armed conflict of the twenty-first century and one of the bloodiest since the end of the Cold War. From its outbreak in 2020 to the official ceasefire in 2022, the civil conflict claimed the lives of up to 400,000 soldiers and 300,000 civilians. Despite the intense human suffering, this “forgotten” war has not garnered the international attention it desperately needs. There is an unfortunate sense in which the world is too ready to move on after its initial efforts. The International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia dissolved before concluding its work. The United States, despite recognizing more than half a million deaths in the region and that crimes against humanity and war crimes had been committed there has restored financial and economic assistance to the status quo ante bellum. Similarly, the EU has returned to its $680 million development strategy with the nation despite a lack of accountability for the widespread abuses in the region."

Change my mind: ‘Fail Fast’ can be a great mantra for rapid improvements, but needs balance.    Some companies follow a mantra of ‘Fail Fast’ to offset the hurdles of ‘analysis paralysis’ and ‘indecision’.   This mindset helps you finish faster and quickly get questions answered.  Plus, the best way to learn is by doing.  However, we’ve worked with clients that get in the habit of doing before planning and find themselves in a bad spot.   So, minimize failing on the first place by having a thoroughly vetted plan along with massive action.

The distinction between a democracy and a republic is an important one, and it often leads to confusion when discussing the political system of the United States. Here's a clearer explanation of these terms and how they apply to the U.S.: Democracy vs. Republic 1. Democracy: Direct Democracy: In a pure or direct democracy, citizens vote directly on laws and policies. Ancient Athens is often cited as an example of direct democracy. Representative Democracy: In a representative democracy, citizens elect representatives who then make laws and policies on their behalf. Most modern democracies, including the U.S., operate as representative democracies. 2. Republic: A republic is a form of government where the country is considered a "public matter" (res publica) and the head of state is an elected or appointed official, not a monarch. In a republic, there is an emphasis on the rule of law and often a constitution that protects certain inalienable rights of individuals. The United States: A Democratic Republic The United States is best described as a democratic republic. Here’s how it fits both definitions: 1. Republican Features: Constitutional Framework: The U.S. operates under a written Constitution that outlines the structure of government and the rights of citizens. Rule of Law: The rule of law is a foundational principle, ensuring that laws apply equally to all citizens. Elected Officials: The head of state (the President) and other key officials are elected, and not hereditary or appointed without electoral input. 2. Democratic Features: Electoral Process: Citizens participate in democratic elections to choose their representatives at local, state, and federal levels. Representation: Elected representatives make decisions on behalf of their constituents, embodying the principles of representative democracy. Public Participation: The democratic process involves regular elections, public debates, and the ability of citizens to petition their government. Key Points in the U.S. System 1. Separation of Powers: The U.S. government is divided into three branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) to prevent any one branch from gaining too much power. This system of checks and balances is a hallmark of a republic. 2. Federalism: Power is divided between the national government and the states, allowing for a balance of governance closer to the people in different regions. 3. Protection of Rights: The Constitution and its amendments, particularly the Bill of Rights, protect individual liberties against majority rule, ensuring that the rights of minorities and individuals are safeguarded.

When it comes to building resilience, quick fixes don't cut. Think of it like filling a pot hole. A quick patch feels fine for a while, but soon enough you're back in the same bumpy road. But when you invest in paving the entire road instead of just patching a hole, you're building something that will last. The same is true for building resilience. Instead of just addressing the current problem, invest in long-term growth and development. Don't just maintain a certain level, aim for growth. It's not about just surviving, it's about thriving and building a strong foundation. So, take the time and effort to invest in yourself and your strategies. It may take longer, but it's worth it in the end.

😂 PEOPLE LAUGH 😂 My technology provides CARBON FREE ELECTRICITY at the LOWEST COST, yet I have had people laugh about that? While the majority are supporters, for some it seems easier to laugh than to understand and learn ! The most expensive was developing accurate patents for my technology. The actual technology costs are fairly low, even in the prototype phase. My love of science and exploration has enabled me to mirror this laughter in silence and channel my energy into providing more results, more proof, and more disruptive solutions! https://ak1.co/demo

When I started my Additive Manufacturing journey, I was convinced that the printer would make the difference in achieving a robust process chain focusing on manufacturing customer parts. 🖨️ But I'm not sure anymore… I think the hidden champions are the people who understand how to handle the powder and post-processing of AM parts. 🥇 Understanding your material behavior will give you a consistent and reliable process and thus industrialize your AM manufacturing technology. 🚀 What do you think? 🤔

The evolution of metal gaskets— All innovations are based upon previous good ones. So don’t take the chart below wrong: Sprial wound was a breakthough at its age. Salute to the pioneers. We still make sprial wounds in large quantities, and know its advantage and drawback: elastic but not so strong (unwinding problem) So was kamprofile half a century ago. One more salute to the pioneers. We still make Kamprofile in large quantities, and know its advantage and drawback: strong but not so elastic (scratching surface) Humbly speaking, the latest development of Fishbone gasket is based on the same fundamental principle of elasticity and strength, but rather than separating them, combines both. Now, as pioneers did before, let’s change the industry, again! P.S.: Though many other good gasket types are not mentioned here, the above categorization covers the principle. Nothing personal, pure logic. The forth category, neither strong nor elastic, is no longer a gasket.

let's dive deeper into each component of a starter: 1. Ignition Switch: This is typically located on the steering column or dashboard. When you turn the key or push the start button, it sends an electrical signal to the starter solenoid to activate the starter motor. 2. Battery: The car's battery provides the electrical power needed to start the engine. It sends a large electrical current to the starter motor to turn the engine over. 3. Starter Motor: The starter motor is an electric motor that is connected to the car's engine. When activated, it spins a gear (called a starter drive or Bendix gear) that engages with the engine's flywheel or flexplate. This action turns the engine over, initiating the combustion process. 4. Starter Solenoid: This is a relay located between the battery and the starter motor. When the ignition switch is turned to the start position, the solenoid receives an electrical signal, causing it to close a pair of heavy contacts that allows the large electric current from the battery to flow to the starter motor. 5. Flywheel or Flexplate: The flywheel (for manual transmissions) or flexplate (for automatic transmissions) is a large, heavy wheel connected to the engine's crankshaft. It serves as a mechanical connection point for the starter motor to turn the engine over. When you turn the ignition key, the ignition switch sends a signal to the starter solenoid, which then allows electrical current from the battery to flow to the starter motor. The starter motor engages with the flywheel or flexplate, turning the engine over and initiating the combustion process. Once the engine is running, the starter motor disengages automatically, usually by a mechanism that disengages the starter drive gear from the flywheel.

📍 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞 & 𝐌𝐲 𝐌𝐁𝐀 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 - 𝐀7 In the Book 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥 by Dr. Meredith Belbin, he introduces the Apollo effect, teams & syndrome. This comes out when all the team members are highly talented and same nature, depicting the drain of diversity. Quote "It seemed fairly obvious that a team of clever people should win in a game that placed an emphasis on cleverness. Such an elementary principle was at least worth checking before any more subtle variations in team design were made. It was as well that we did. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭." Unquote Our MBA team A7 had 10 members and one migrated in the beginning, so we ended up with 9. Our nine members are from various fields. Engineering, HR, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Legal, Banking, Supply Chain & IT. We were not from the top order, yet we finished the game as a team, maybe the only team that retained the 9 members till the last day. Since we didn't have stars, we always gave the chance to the expert in that subject, yet challenged so that we learned together. We had three subjects per term and we split the three group assignments among ourselves so that only three did the hard part, rest joined in the discussion. Too many cooks spoil the soup. 😉 It was a supportive and caring team, when one was in trouble the rest took care of the work and did the hard part. We had late-night Kuppi's as well as drinks. Yet we finished all together. Some other colleagues even sighed, that they should have joined our one instead of theirs. 😊 The diversity and respect for each other was the success of our team. We had a safe space, so we fought, argued, challenged & celebrated. This is the same mantra for an organization to succeed as well.
