A number of myths persist about people’s allegedly ever-shortening attention spans—but what does the science say? Neuroscience, behavioral economics, and consumer psychology all offer insights into how we manage and allocate attention.

Generative AI is here, and it can revolutionize your business. With its powerful capabilities, this technology can help companies create more efficient processes, unlock new insights from data, and drive innovation. But how do you make the most of these opportunities?
This guide will provide you with the information and resources needed to understand the ins and outs of Generative AI, so you can make informed decisions and capitalize on the potential. It covers important topics such as strategies for leveraging large language models, optimizing MLOps processes, and best practices for building with Generative AI.
The Uncomfortable Truth of Why Teams FailNeil Patel
What would you do if someone took credit for all your work, would you confront him or her risking a confrontation or not say anything at all, which would build up resentment?
It’s a surprising fact the reason why most new businesses fail is not because of product/market fit, finances or using the wrong technology, it’s because the team members do not get on with each other.
In this session, you'll get all the answers about how ChatGPT and other GPT-X models can be applied to your current or future project. First, we'll put in order all the terms – OpenAI, GPT-3, ChatGPT, Codex, Dall-E, etc., and explain why Microsoft and Azure are often mentioned in this context. Then, we'll go through the main capabilities of the Azure OpenAI and respective usecases that might inspire you to either optimize your product or build a completely new one.
The Five Levels of Generative AI for GamesJon Radoff
A framework for understanding how generative AI and the technologies leading up to it impact the course of games and virtual worlds--for game studios, game players, modders and within the core game loop.
The marketing world can't stop talking about AI. ChatGPT, Jasper, Stable Diffusion—the list goes on. However, perhaps the most groundbreaking tool that is being underutilized is Midjourney. This AI image generation powerhouse has the ability to upgrade, streamline, and elevate the visual aesthetics of your campaigns, site content, and paid media to a whole new level.
In this journey through Midjourney, we will take you beyond creating catchy images. From crafting custom stock imagery and logos to conceptualizing landing pages and leveraging existing assets, Midjourney has the power to transform your marketing game. Are you ready?

Quite frequently, thoughts that we proactively seek to avoid wind up plaguing our conscious thoughts beyond
relief. Did you realize those unwanted thoughts can make peace and mental tranquility a seemingly elusive
goal? As a matter of fact, Wegner (1988) explained that the dilemma we face is not actually rooted in our
consciousness. No, trouble surfaces when we seek to suppress those thoughts. When you attempt to repress
a particular thought, you actually begin to focus on it even more. For example, if I told you stop thinking about
an orange basketball, could you do it? Try it. Do not think about a round, orange basketball. Now quickly,
what are you thinking about? Is it the orange basketball? As you explore this unit, you will gain more insight
into mental manipulation. Start to think about how you categorize various objects around you. Do you believe
all of your thoughts are conscious ones? Could you be thinking about something without really being aware
of such?
Are you a rational thinker? How often are you influenced by your gut instincts as you attempt to make a huge
decision in your life? Within this unit’s chapter readings, Ciccarelli and White (2017) discuss our ability to
make rational decisions. In fact, we are always thinking or processing mental information; however, we have
two major types of think.

Assessment Introduction
Genogram Reflection Paper
What is “Culture”?
Set of guidelines that people inherit from their social environments
that guide how they view the world, respond to it, and behave
in it.
Not synonymous with race, ethnicity, social class, or
immigration status
Impacts us continuously, whether we are aware of it or not
Fluid and changes as cultures and individuals interact
Transmitted across generations
Privilege exists within cultures
and most career theories do not adequately address it…
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model: Exploration of Identity & Social Context
Interaction between your own identities, social location and agency, specific life events and circumstances, and upbringing
Family can provide important context
Don’t exist in isolation - impacted by external things/systems.
E.g., Fish metaphor (you are the fish, what is the fish bowl you are living in?) - zooming out

Genogram Trends
Small Group Discussion
What did you notice?
What are the trends?
How do you want to follow these patterns or chart a new part?
Multiple Identities
We all have multiple identities that shape us and our daily experiences.
Some identities may offer us advantages, and others may offer us disadvantages
Assumptions about us based on these identities will be made, and these assumptions also impact us.
Having awareness of your identities and how they impact you as a person is important, for yourself as a person and your career.
Identities can be formed by culture but culture can also be formed by identity.
Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity
Based on Social Identities

(Jones & MkEwen, 2000)
“portion of an individual's self-concept derived from perceived membership in a relevant social group”
Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity (cont.)
(Jones & MkEwen, 2000)
Start with your core
Which is most salient to you?
(gets an atom near the core)
What is least salient?
(gets a point farther away from the core)
What, if any, salient identities do not appear on this chart?
What do you notice about the identities that are closer to your core?
Reactions?
How might our identities impact our career choices and interests?
How might others’ assumptions and beliefs about us based on our identities impact our career and interests?
Your Social Context
We all have unique identities which, as we’ve discussed, impact our lives and our career choices, but what about your upbringing and social context growing up?
Some of our identities may give us hints, but it is also important to think about:

Guerrilla (or Agile) Evaluation for LearningJulie Dirksen
Workplace Learning & Development professionals have a problem -- too often they don't get enough (or any) feedback on the efficacy of their designs. What can we do to fix that?
Stories are frequently used in learning situations (e.g. elearning training scenarios), but fiction writing has several strategies that can be used to make those stories more interesting and compelling (and less boring).

16. IF WE DIG DEEPER… (DUKETTE &

"Continuous attention span may be as short as
8 seconds. After this amount of time, it's likely
an individual's eyes may shift, or a stray
thought will briefly enter consciousness.
However, these short lapses are only minimally
distracting and do not tend to interfere with
task performance."
