Nail Communications ’s Post

✨ Taking a moment to celebrate Nail Communications . I don’t personally know anyone who works there, their leadership, or body of work, but just three minutes of exploring left a lasting impression: What I Love: ✅ They’re genuinely committed to making a difference. It's embedded throughout their branding, their site, and their pro bono efforts. ✅ They don’t shout their values from the rooftops. Instead, they let the work lead, then they market. Not the other way around. Cool tactics: ❤️ The symbolic ‘heart’ button on their website. It’s subtle and untitled, but click it, and you’ll find a thoughtful commitment to #inclusion in its values and its work. 📚 The children’s book they created (see the attached link) isn’t prominently featured on their homepage. Instead, they created a mini PR campaign and a YouTube teaser video - a masterclass in subtlety that reinforces its values. Too often, we’re told that to break through the noise, #marketing needs to scream for #attention. But Nail Communications reminds us that real #branding lies between the #shouting and the #whispering. Here's to the good ones! 👏 #Marketing #Branding #SubtleStorytelling #advertising #behavioralscience #psychology Rory Sutherland Dr. Robert Cialdini #mrxjobs Insights Career Network Becarren Schultz

I have watched this video a number of times and I have not failed to smile cheerfully on each occasion. 😃 The joy that accompanied the child's reaction after the light came back on is priceless and that for me, is the inspiration for putting up this post. While it is common knowledge that we exist in a world of busy schedules with obligations and multiple commitments, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of parents being present in the lives of their children. To be truthful however, achieving the foregoing is not an easy task and this, amongst other factors, is attributable to evolving global economic realities which constantly compels parents to spend more time outside of the home in their quest to provide the essential neccesities for their children's wellbeing. Nevertheless, every parent should seize every opportunity available at their disposal to engage with their children towards building strong ties and connections. From engaging in imaginative plays as showcased in the video, to reading bedtime stories and to supporting their kids' hobbies and dreams, parents can create emotional bonds which helps to engender healthy development and impart invaluable life skills. To underscore the essence of this post, I have highlighted five ways parents can cultivate their children's potential for growth and development. These are; 1. Emotional Nurturing. 2. Building Trust & Sincerity. 3. Enhanced Communication. 4. Positive Role Modeling. 5. Intellectual Growth.

This inspired me so much, so I wanna share it with you. And to make it more "LinkedIn", aka more "Personal Branding": the way Steven takes part in the conversation is similar to my approach of Conversational Employer Branding Storytelling. But this is not about me, this is simply a beautiful conversation full of wisdom between two beautiful souls. And the thumbnail doesnt do it any justice - at all 😂 https://lnkd.in/ebhi6Hbu

If you took a moment to track and weigh the conversations you've had with your teenager in the past week—content, tone, and type—how would you define your relationship with them or even your parenting approach? 🤔 ● Were your communication mostly instructions? ● Did they lean towards correction, maybe with a bit of yelling or tension? ● Were they vulnerable and open? ● Did they reaffirm and uplift? ● Were they engaging, laid-back, and maybe even filled with laughter? ● Or were they quick, in passing? Conversations are a powerful measure of how thriving a relationship really is. Here’s why: ➡️ A true conversation involves two people—it's not just one-directional. It's where thoughts, feelings, and ideas are shared, questions are asked and answered, and information is exchanged. 📢 The dictionary definition might be simple, but it's so telling. 📌 Rich conversations are where safety is built, and for teenagers, feeling heard is everything. The quality of conversations you're having is a direct measure to the depth of relationship you have with your teen and how safe they feel with you. ➡️ It’s also through these meaningful talks that we pass on values and life lessons. 📌 The more engaged the conversation, the more your teenager's brain develops, their mindset is shaped, and their ideologies take form. ➡️ Big, real, and sometimes difficult conversations are a critical part of a parent's roadmap. As children reach the teenage years, these conversations become the medium through which we guide their paths—whether it's discussing puberty, identity, and friendships with your pre-teen, or career and workplace choices with your teen. Despite our schedules as busy working parents, we mustn't plan your way out of good 'ol conversations as they are a key part of a parent’s toolkit. 💼 Do you have them in yours? And if you tracked your conversations with your teenager, how healthy would you say your relationship is right now? 💬 ##busyworkingparents #workingprofessional #parentingtools #teensexpert

I met Dr. Becky Kennedy yesterday an American clinical psychologist with 3 million followers & founder of the Good Inside with 40+ employees. Here’s what I learned… Her goal was not to build a following - it happened organically People are looking to connect on social media The more deliberate you are on social media the more fake it comes across (The more you ‘try to perform’ the less you perform) When Dr Becky stumbles in a video she keeps going helping to maintain authenticity The more ideas she put out the more ideas she had People really like when you talk in a real way online Before posting online her first instinct is to ask herself if she should post rather than looking for extrinsic measures of critique - We usually gaze out before we gaze in It is so important before you put something out there that you have some process to pause and gaze in What do I think of this, am I proud of it, do I want to revise this If you get caught in the everyone loves this… you have no ground to stand on The only thing that helps her is when there are a lot of parents and kids who are touched by her content She thinks parenting is the most important thing in bringing on the next generation but we have no formal training E.g. surgeon no formal training wouldn’t expect them to just have a gut feeling The reason many experts speak on issues on social media is because they are not that confident on the issue themselves Not wearing makeup, dressing up or reheasing enables for higher relatability - It is impossible to learn if creators are too far removed -> viewers want you to be a little further ahead not too far ahead Be careful about what you consume: much of the information that bothers us is told to us when we don’t even know the name of the person that said it Her oldest kid is 13 & doesn’t want her kids on social media yet When seeing a post use critical thinking: Did that make me feel uncomfortable? By her posting she is able to enable her viewers to better become themselves 'You gave me the words that I always knew were true but I didn’t know how to express it myself' Before going on social media ask yourself what are you looking to find Dr Becky doesn't spend a lot of time worrying about what others might think of her Doesn’t spend a lot of time in other peoples' brains she is lost in her thoughts Logic can never help emotional struggles How to deal with hate content: imagine you on the tennis court and imagine them saying something and it coming over the net You can't stop them from hitting it but you can witness it coming over the net and throw it back We are inherently born good inside make sure to say that to yourself on the inside e.g. I am a good person who forgot to invite my friend to a dinner or who did x y z Separate the two I have a good kid who said I hate you I have a good kid who struggles with tantrums Create your videos with your dirty laundry behind you Harvey Bracken-Smith 19th November 2024

Dear network,   I'm just about to start a series of short posts on people topics / work psychology in organizations in a broader sense, and I'm wondering what musings would be most interesting or helpful to you all. It's going to be an AMA (Ask Me Anything) format, with me coming up with a first attempt at an answer and a warm invite to all readers to contribute thoughts as well.   Four promises - no AI listicles, no overuse of emojis, no cycling through the same set of selfies to make these posts look more meaningful, and raw honesty with as little corporate speak as possible (... as much as we all like to leverage cloud synergies and pivot paradigms for ultimate disruption potential and value optimization).   My specific perspective is that I have three credentialized hearts competing:   * One of an academic psychologist with a love of statistics (cluster analyses, ah), rejecting anything as truth that isn't peer-reviewed science   * One of someone who's trained in psychotherapy and hynotherapy, which is typically a field in which people believe that the "human essence" is much more than anything that could ever be captured in numbers and clinically controlled double blind experiments   * One of a classic strategy consultant and executive coach who is focused on pragmatic solutions that are impactful, improve PnLs and are in service of strategic objectives. I love a good KPI dashboard and convincing business case just as much as the next person, and making sure that investments in e.g. employee engagement have a measurable impact and aren't just "wellness washing". Of course, a beautiful strategy is great to have on paper, but what's much more important is to have a good operationalization in place that makes sure that your people are able and willing to execute whatever it is you wish them to do, which is often brutally neglected.   I love dissecting the world of work psychology applying different lenses, and enjoying a good discussion about these sorts of topics on here, so that's what this will hopefully become.     So, whoever feels compelled, please drop me some questions below. Some good ones for inspiration I've heard recently and might address in time if they resonate:   "What are the most common issues in corporate culture you have seen" "What is the best approach to employee listening strategies" "Is it recommendable to use therapy speak in companies, such as trauma, boundaries and gaslighting" "Is generational division in the workplace a myth to pitch us all against one another" "What to do when everyone is freaking out due to an impending reorganization" "How do I know for sure whether my boss is a narcissist" "Can lucid dreaming improve work performance "Is the MBTI still a good tool to diagnose leaders" (… no, and it never was.)   … and anything between or beyond that.   You can also send them to me anonymously via this MS Forms link: https://lnkd.in/dAmQG6YX   Looking forward to some great exchanges. :-)

Lately, I’ve been struck by something concerning.   Parents are present physically but scrolling mentally. 🤳💔  Every day, I take my kids to play, and I notice many parents scrolling through reels, shorts, and videos on their devices. 📱😩   It's not that I judge anyone; I completely understand the urge to unwind after a long day. I crave that relaxation too. 💤✨  However, I make a conscious effort to be in the moment,   watching my kids laugh, run, and explore. 😊🏃♂️🎈   That simple act is not just a joy; it’s a great stress reliever. 🌟  As a parent, I recognize such moments with my kids are fleeting. ⏳💞   While I can always return to social media later,   I won’t get these precious years back.  Kids are incredibly perceptive; they know when we are disengaged—and what they learn from us shapes their behaviour as they grow. 🧠👶  I came across a powerful reminder:   children learn from things they see or experience. 📚✨   This insight pushes me to reflect on how I engage with my kids. 👀🤗  I’m not perfect; I make mistakes. 🤷♂️💬   Sometimes, I catch myself making the same mistakes again.   But I’ve found joy in simply being present—   whether as an active playmate or a passive observer. 🎉❤️  I don’t want to list stats about social media usage or preach parenting advice;   instead, I want to pose a question to all of us:   Are we disengaged parents? 🤔🤷♀️  Time to think about what it means to be present   and how we can cultivate deeper connections with our children. 🌱💖  #MindfulParenting #StayPresent #WorkLifeBalance #ParentingJourney
