How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

It operates through a divisional structure with a focus on local consumers.
Content Methodology: A Best Practices Report (Webinar)contently
This document provides an overview of content methodology best practices. It defines content methodology as establishing objectives, KPIs, and a culture of continuous learning and iteration. An effective methodology focuses on connecting with audiences, creating optimal content, and optimizing processes. It also discusses why a methodology is needed due to the competitive landscape, proliferation of channels, and opportunities for improvement. Components of an effective methodology include defining objectives and KPIs, audience analysis, identifying opportunities, and evaluating resources. The document concludes with recommendations around creating a content plan, testing and optimizing content over 90 days.
How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

@Brandon_Lee_09
11. Why You Need To Read This Book
This is another highly tactical sales book for reps who want an edge in
selling, or for entrepreneurs setting up their own sales process. Andy,
another good friend of PersistIQ and a guest on our podcast, explains
that in order to get the edge in sales today, it’s not about what you sell.
It’s about how you sell. Another sales veteran with years in the trenches,
he uses his own experience to illustrate some of the points in the book.
Amp Up Your Sales
@Brandon_Lee_09
12. What This Book Covers
Andy breaks his book into 8 parts: 1) simplifying your sales 2) accelerating
your responsiveness 3) maximizing value 4) growing through follow up 5)
amp up your prospecting 6) Qualification: doing more with less 7)
mastering stories that sell 8) selling through customer service.
This is another must read if you’re looking to create more qualified pipeline
or refining your own sales process. It’s also a good read for SDRs.

14. Why You Need To Read This Book
Much like his book Sales Management. Simplified., Mike’s writing is very
easy to read, and the concepts are further illustrated with stories and
examples. I put this book in the same camp as Fanatical Prospecting and
Amp Up Your Sales in terms of the problem it’s helping solve. The main
differences are Mike provides more compelling stories (in my opinion) but
covers less on social selling and tools/technology (a lot has changed in
the 4 years since this was published).

15. What This Book Covers
This is a great education on strategies for finding more and better

perception management, building rapport, managing your day, getting more
meetings and having more productive and effective conversations.
Buy this book if you’re a rep looking for ways to differentiate in starting
more conversation and closing more deals. SDRs will find value in this
book too.

If you’ve been at any sales conferences and seen a guy wearing a bright

bright orange. This book is all about using Trigger Events to close more
deals. I was really impressed with the level of thought that the authors put
on defining, identifying, and leveraging trigger events. Selling is all about
timing, and this book breaks down everything you need to know about
timing around major events.

22. Why You Need To Read This Book
This may be the oldest book on this list, but that speaks to its
timelessness. Personally, I believe this book should be the cornerstone of
all sales reps training. Huthwaite and Dr. Rackham’s research was the
first real in-depth scientific look into the non-scientific art of selling, which
forever changed the way we sell. Every sales rep must memorize chapter
4 of this book, then start to build out their own methodology as they take
bits and pieces from other books and frameworks.

23. What This Book Covers
By investing in this book, you’ll learn the stages of a sales call, a
breakdown of classic closing techniques and their effectiveness, the right
way to obtain commitment from buyers, how to uncover and develop
needs, the SPIN framework (Situation, Problem, Implication and Needs-
Payoff), and handling objections.

The Challenger Sales
@Brandon_Lee_09
25. Why You Need To Read This Book
All good salespeople are aware of the consultative sale, but this takes it
to the next level, adding a little more data and another layer of
sophistication. The sales is not just about building a relationship and
getting a buyer to like you. The most successful sales reps — the
challengers — are able to push their prospects to think (usually contrary
to their normal beliefs, hence the challenger) in a new way and teach
them something new.
The Challenger Sales
@Brandon_Lee_09
26. What This Book Covers
The Challenger Sale will teach you the different types of sales reps, how
Challengers will teach, tailor and take control in a sales situation, how to
lead with your strengths while tactfully challenging the prospect’s
assumptions, and how managers can be better coaches.
This is the perfect book if you’re in a closing role and frequently on the
phone or face-to-face with prospects.

28. Why You Need To Read This Book
Jill’s book SNAP Selling gives sales reps tactics and methodologies to

flexible, adaptable and, well, agile. This is not a new, ground-breaking
methodology, but the tips and tactics are still highly valuable. Chapters
are broken into small, easily-digestible pieces, so there are many of them
(over 60).

It’s been called, “The sales development Bible” by numerous sales

innovations in the sales space over the last decade, and Trish is the
perfect person to be writing the book on it. This is a true playbook with

book for a while. It’s a rather lengthy book (358 pages in 66 chapter) and
pretty dense, but the content is timeless. He writes from experience, and
his stories are short and to the point. The lessons are very
comprehensive and thoughtful.

approach is that he doesn’t believe that Sales Champions are made
using pressure and fear to perform better. If you’ve read management
theory by Drucker or Carnegie, some of the concepts here won’t be new,
but they’re always worth a refresher.

outlines the mental, emotional, and physical qualities that are essential to
building a winning organization, which are applicable to whether you’re
building a basketball team or a sales team. Both professions require you
to work hard in developing your skills, confidence, and competitive fire.

valuable knowledge that people need when implementing an account

about how individual sales reps can increase sales, but this book shows
you how a team can collaborate and work together.
