Being a leader, a colleague or friend means participating in the whole human experience. People work hard and give tremendous time to their profession so giving them at least 8 minutes to be human seems like the worthiest thing we could do in our day. We lost our beautiful boy to suicide in 2022 and I would give up everything to listen to him for 8 or 800 minutes now. Since then, my message to everyone has been to scream loud and listen hard. Both are possible for at least 8 minutes. #screamloudlistenhard #mentalhealth #mentalhealthatwork #humanleadership #mentalhealthmonth #suicideawareness

Everything I've learned in the past 2 years points to the critical importance of embracing AI/ML opportunities across all industries. Neglecting these advancements risks irrelevance. It's about quickly translating potential into value. The race is on! Amidst the hype and "Money Grab," AI/ML's impact on drug discovery, testing, and commercialization is undeniable. From concept to delivery, expect optimized processes, accelerating the introduction of innovative therapeutics. The future is promising with endless possibilities. https://lnkd.in/gsgNXtsy

Is it surprising that AI deceives when it reads and learns content from humans who do the same in real life? This new interesting study warns of AI deception: AI, on its own, deceived, betrayed, and lied while playing a game of Diplomacy. It lied to get past a Capchta. This shows us dangers of AI: fraud, election tampering, and loss of control. Do we need robust regulation, 'bot-or-not' laws, and increased research in this area. #AIDeception #EthicalAI https://lnkd.in/eiCfxGr8

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States; approximately 5% of adults in the US will experience PTSD during a given year. Despite this, only about 50% percent of people with PTSD seek treatment. Today, we are excited to present, in collaboration with Lundbeck, the results from the Phase II and Phase III trials for the treatment of adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We are committed to persevere until mental health and brain diseases are approached with the same priority and urgency as physical health. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eujQtD9G #DefyLimitation

We're pleased to announce the release of The Projected Cost and Economic Impact of Mental Health Inequities in the United States report, authored by national expert Daniel Dawes, Dean of Meharry Medical College School of Global Health. This new report builds upon the research of the 2022 Economic Burden of Mental Health Inequities report and finds that: The United States currently spends significant dollars on avoidable and unnecessary expenses related to mental health inequities, yet there is still a siloed system where individuals struggle to access the care they need. By 2040, the cumulative cost of untreated mental health conditions to the US economy is estimated to amount to $14 trillion – we must act now. The mental health crisis in the United States should be treated as an emergency requiring a cross-sector approach to improve patient outcomes. Read the full report: https://bit.ly/4dybF30

I have recently been brushing off programming skills to build small, personal LLM applications. As the article demonstrates, there is nothing like hands-on experience to really learn anything, including AI. https://lnkd.in/e5E4w5K8

Effective collaboration across functions is vital for organizational success, as silos are a common reality. While each organization approaches this challenge differently based on its structure and culture, it's crucial to acknowledge both the positive and negative impacts of silos. Mitigating risks through streamlined processes and efficient cross-functional collaboration is essential for achieving effectiveness and efficiency. As leaders, let's not leave our teams to 'figure it out' on their own. Instead, let's coach, support, and implement necessary structures and processes to aid them in their success with the cross-functional collaboration.

https://lnkd.in/gh77XNmb Interestingly, a #LinkedIn post way back in 2014 (URL above) said this about "Double Space After Period": ===== Double Space After Period I am going to go out a limb and declare that putting two spaces after a period is obsolete. It is how most of us were taught to type on a typewriter. Therefore, most of us who do this (I have taught myself to stop putting two spaces after a period and it was hard) are over 50 years of age. Over the years, I have heard that this has been used as a method of screening out older candidates. ===== All of the above said, I believe that #SCOTUS opinions still use the “Two Spaces After Full Stop” convention, although I use only one space in all of my contracts and in my email & iMessage communications.

As AI continues to advance, finding a balance between its role in homes and workplaces becomes crucial. The quest for this "middle way" is a thought-provoking challenge. How can we strike the right balance between the two environments? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Technology #Balance

I talk about Technical Debt a lot because it’s a major problem within a lot of industry. This article is a perfect example that shows that even Government struggles with it. It’s exactly what happens when you have siloed departments, no overall digital policy or departmental knowledge, and an ad hoc approach to technology deployment and a lack of lifecycle planning. Happy to hear anyone else’s thoughts… #digitalroadmap #technicaldebt #government #nolifecycleplanning #IT

“I love the power of peers” Dr. Bridgette Weitzel  We are learning & doing: talent marketplaces, skills-based organizations, fit-for-purpose succession planning, work environments that achieve results and engage employees, and much more. Thank you Bridgette https://lnkd.in/dAEeHqYN and Sam https://lnkd.in/d7ZKVzWc for bringing together talent leaders in the DMV for a roundtable discussion on some of our top challenges and opportunities.   As a result, my perspective is both broader and more focused. Good thing. There’s a lot to do – check out Gartner’s future of work trends (https://lnkd.in/dhE-gg2y ):   Shifting EVP.   New Manager Necessities.   The collapse of career assumptions.   AI reshaping work.
