The Secret Ingredient: How To Set Yourself Up For Success in Business and Life
The Secret Ingredient is a talk first developed by Sasha Kazantseva for the Institute of Directors lunch series based on her own journey of self-discovery since becoming a mother and moving to a small island of Guernsey.
Sasha asserts that we cannot flourish in business unless we take care of all parts of life, without neglecting health, relationships, fun in exchange for career and personal growth.
She blogs about this and more on http://startupme.co/
Sasha is a Guernsey resident technology entrepreneur, angel investor and NED. She set up her first venture in school aged 16 and the entrepreneurial spark never left her. Since then she has worked for Google, L'Oreal and Priceline, co-founded a private start-up accelerator, a green activist group in Russia and launched a mobile game for iOS.
At Google, Sasha created or co-founded global award winning campaigns such as the Google Cultural Institute and a big data predictor algorithm for competitions. She is passionate about supporting and promoting startup ecosystems and is involved with projects in Guernsey as a director with Start Up Guernsey, committee member of the Creative Industries Guernsey.
Her personal quest is to start 100 ventures in her lifetime and to inspire one billion people to start a business.
She has lived and worked in Singapore, Thailand, Mongolia, Russia, UK and Spain and holds a BSc from the London School of Economics and an MBA from INSEAD. She lives in Guernsey with her husband, whom she met climbing Mt Kilimanjaro for charity, and their twin daughters.
Visual Testing: It's Not What You Look At, It's What You See
My testing presentation on visual testing - more on the things that we miss when we pay too close attention or fall prey to "inattentional blindness". Discussion on how the brain plays tricks on testers.
Multitasking
Multitasking negatively impacts the brain and is an ineffective way to accomplish tasks. Most people are unable to truly multitask and instead switch between tasks rapidly in a way that impairs performance. Scientific studies show that multitasking diminishes cognitive abilities like mental organization and memory, and that multitaskers have more difficulty switching between tasks. While many continue to multitask due to a misbelief in their abilities, it is an inefficient way to work that wastes time and reduces productivity.
How to easily create new productive habits and stick to them for good
If you ever wanted to stick to create a habit and stick to it for good - the Habit Formation Trifecta is for you. Learn it, use it, practice it and you'll be creating habits in no time
Beyond Four Walls
The document discusses new approaches to learning technologies that move beyond traditional four-walled classrooms. It suggests six solutions: 1) Provide challenges for learners to solve together; 2) View learning as a process involving homework, classroom sessions, and self-paced learning; 3) Leverage immersive environments that situate learning in real-world contexts; 4) Tell stories to enhance memory and understanding; 5) Enable mobile learning; and 6) Expand the classroom by connecting learners and experts online.
Multitasking: How brain works on different tasks
The document discusses how the brain works and processes information. It states that the brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement, vision and sensation. It also discusses that multitasking is impossible as the brain can only focus on one task at a time. The document provides examples of how the brain codes information and transmits it from one region to another. It also discusses how computer processing works much faster than the human brain at framing information. Further, it talks about how the brain stores memories and information when we learn or experience something and how we can improve our speaking skills by listening to English speakers.
Multitasking group ppt
Multitasking is commonly practiced by millennials but can reduce productivity and increase stress. While the brain can listen to music and do other tasks simultaneously, rapidly switching between complex tasks overloads the brain and reduces performance. Studies show multitasking leads to up to a 40% drop in productivity and 10% reduction in IQ. While multitasking may give a sense of motivation and productivity, evidence suggests it actually increases stress and reduces focus, efficiency, and work quality. Experts recommend setting boundaries and focusing on one task at a time to avoid these negative impacts of multitasking.

Flow: Getting into the zone at work
The document discusses flow, a mental state of complete absorption and focus in an activity. It summarizes research by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi who coined the term "flow". The document then provides a system for harnessing flow with 9 components: clear goals, concentration, loss of self-consciousness, distorted time perception, immediate feedback, balance of ability and challenge, sense of control, intrinsically rewarding actions, and narrowed focus on the activity. It recommends setting goals for work sessions, limiting distractions, getting feedback through early releases, and training attention. Integrating these components can help produce better work in less time while finding the work more gratifying.
Social Media Fatigue: Is it Better to Burnout than Fade Away?
The document discusses strategies for avoiding burnout from social media use. It suggests finding an accountability partner, using time management techniques like the Google Method of focusing for 50 minutes then taking breaks, and utilizing social media dashboard tools. Engaging with audiences and focusing on the positives can help recharge. Unplugging activities like going for walks, cooking, and hobbies are recommended for coping. The community provided additional ideas like keeping a "Happy List" of stress-relieving activities and reminding oneself that "no one is dying" to step away from screens.

The document provides techniques for improving productivity and focus. It suggests limiting distractions by not checking email or talking about unimportant things first thing in the morning. It recommends optimizing for deep work by turning off notifications and practicing "mise en place". The document outlines ready to use techniques like tackling the most important task first, using creative triggers to get in a focused state of mind, starting with small blocks of focused time, and using the Pomodoro technique. It stresses the importance of monitoring your bandwidth, limiting commitments, prioritizing tasks, and ignoring some bugs. Overall, the document presents numerous evidence-based strategies for catching the productivity "unicorn" and optimizing one's focus and workflow.

Howtostopsucking
This document provides tips for moving from "sucking" to being "awesome" in software development. It recommends:
1. Embracing failures and shipping imperfect software in order to get user feedback and iterate quickly. Version 1 will suck, but getting it out is important.
2. Doing work in public by sharing projects openly like how early internet tools were public versions of UNIX commands. This allows others to learn from mistakes and successes.
3. Picking projects that really matter by solving problems or providing value for others. Unless the work helps others, they won't care about it. The author advocates finding an audience and passion for the work.

Disruptive Innovation in the Digital Era
This document summarizes a presentation on disruptive innovation in the digital era. It discusses how the world is constantly changing due to digital technologies like mobile, social media, cloud computing and real-time data. True innovation requires disruptive thinking that changes existing business models rather than just making incremental improvements. To survive, companies must embrace disruption by integrating digital technologies into their products, services and business models in ways that create new value for customers. The presentation provides tips for organizations to adopt this kind of disruptive mindset including investing in learning and testing new ideas, developing a sense of urgency, breaking down silos, and getting everyone involved in digital transformation.
