We’re human. We cannot parallel process. Take the time to sharpen your own skills and give yourself a rest. There’s always more to learn. There are always things you don’t know.
I mention Givitas, which is related to Adam Grant’s Givers and Takers research and Generosity Burnout. Here are some of the things Amy and I speak about.
- Amy’s background in Conflict resolution
- Why she took on projects she wasn’t quite ready for
- The worst thing you can do for your brain
- The all-important “to don’t” list
- What she looks for in a new recruit: Curiosity balanced with ability to concentrate, variety of things they’re interested in
- Why she asks potential recruits to describe a process
- Going beyond the problem the client thinks they have to the actual problem that needs solving
- We have a scarcity of good language to describe machine learning or AI so how do we get analogies and visuals to help flesh that out: e.g. the difficulties Amy had in explaining machine learning to her mother
- Amy’s Favourite Charity is a local community charity: the importance of making yourself available to help: the community finds you.
- How everybody “lies”. People don’t even know what they want.
- Why feedback and criticism is like training a dog
- Working ourselves “stupid”: Importance of sleep, The endless torrent of reading
