    Episode 100: World War III by Proxy_Joanne. Z. Tan

    World War III is between two camps: The Authoritarian Camp (Russia, Iran, North Korea, China) and the Democracy Camp (the US, NATO, and other pro democracy countries).
    Can the US afford to support Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan?
    Who can defeat the US?
    World War III is already unfolding by proxies in regional wars: The Israel-Hamas War (US and Iran), Ukraine-Russia War (NATO vs. Russia and its Authoritarian supporters). And the "coming soon" Taiwan-China War.

    Episode 99: Personal Branding: Why it is a balancing act and a forever journey_Joanne Z. Tan

    Episode 99: Personal Branding: Why it is a balancing act and a forever journey_Joanne Z. Tan

    Personal branding is not about illusory self-aggrandizing, since illusion leads to disillusion when one’s own views of one’s value propositions are disconnected from what your customers and your market want. 
    Neither is personal branding related to ego boosting: when one’s inflated belief about oneself is not correlated to reality, ego boosting will end up with ego bruising. BTW, those with fragile egos often seek ego boosting, consciously or unconsciously, and inevitably end up with ego bruising. It is a cycle when the root cause is not addressed.
    Personal branding is not psychotherapy either, even though the info-collecting part may have certain resemblances.
    A brand’s value and relevancy are always in the perceptions of oneself and others. There is always a practical purpose behind personal branding, professional branding, LinkedIn branding, or business branding, whether the objectives are for client acquisition, status, influence, money, power, glamor, affection, legacy, etc.
    A brand is established and continuously advanced by serving a target audience in return for compensation by that target audience in your marketplace, or other forms of your desired ROI.

    Episode 98: What has ”Are you Good’” got to do with truth and beliefs? _ A 3-minute ”Truth” based on Nietzsche_Joanne Z. Tan

    Episode 98: What has ”Are you Good’” got to do with truth and beliefs? _ A 3-minute ”Truth” based on Nietzsche_Joanne Z. Tan

    What did Friedrich Nietzsche say about those who believe themselves to be "good"?
    (Joanne Z. Tan:) Self righteousness leads to moralization based on belief but NOT on facts or truth.  You believe you are good, thus everything else contrary to that belief is NOT good, NOT true, NOT right.How dangerous!
    That is the beginning of the end of democracy, liberty, and what is true good.
    Facts are facts.  Truth is truth, whether it is convenient for you or not, whether truth contradicts your belief about yourself or not. Your opinions, beliefs - you have a birth right to them, but when you think your opinions and beliefs are facts and truth, AND the only version of truth, because “I am good”, you are sacrificing the truth, yourself, your country, and humanity, and all the good.
    So, do not put your “goodness” above truth and facts. You can be wrong, but you are not your mistakes.  Democracy is no guarantee of no-mistakes either. Both you and democracy will be better if we all honor the truth, the facts, above everything else.

    Episode 97: News, Anxiety and Partisanship_2 Minute Insight from Joanne Z. Tan

    Episode 97: News, Anxiety and Partisanship_2 Minute Insight from Joanne Z. Tan

    The media and the politicians are getting their viewership up by creating anxiety, partisanship and animosity. The more they drum up their one-sided propaganda, the more we are led to believe how wrong the other party is. The results:
    - We as a country are stuck in the mud, deeper and deeper into divisiveness.
    - We continue on the destructive path of viewing "us" versus "them".
    - The more we watch this rating-driven, drama packed media distortion, the more we feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, helpless.

    Episode 96: ChatGPT and LinkedIn Profiles: What AI Can and Can NOT do_by Joanne Z. Tan_10 Plus Brand

    Episode 96: ChatGPT and LinkedIn Profiles: What AI Can and Can NOT do_by Joanne Z. Tan_10 Plus Brand

    First question for everyone is: How do you know what keywords to input, on your LinkedIn profile, your company page, a LinkedIn article, or LinkedIn messages?
    If you rely on ChatGPT to generate the keywords for your profession, remember that everyone else in your profession also gets the same keywords generated by AI. Even if you can afford to use expensive subscription-based AI tools such as AhRefs, SEMRush to get the keywords relevant to your specialty, or maybe you are savvy enough to find the keywords from the free Google Keywords, the more important issue is:
    Second question: How do you differentiate your LinkedIn profile from your competitors and/or peers?
    What is the Difference Between a LinkedIn Profile and a LinkedIn BRAND? - Hear five points by Joanne Z. Tan, a global brand builder, brand coach, branding expert, and brand marketer.
    AI, Such as ChatGPT, is Just a Tool: No More, No Less. Why would we, or you, let AI or ChatGPT take away this HUMAN connection? And the joy of creativity? And the satisfaction in custom-crafting a unique brand, human to human?

    Episode 95: Oppenheimer’s Gift of Rhetorical Power in Writing & Speech_by Joanne Z. Tan

    Episode 95: Oppenheimer’s Gift of Rhetorical Power in Writing & Speech_by Joanne Z. Tan

    Ironically, dubbed the “father of the atomic bomb”, Oppenheimer, who was talented with multiple languages and loved poetry, was a man of science AND humanity. It was his humanity and a sense of duty that drove him to be vocal against the nuclear arms race, which eventually made him a target of humiliation and destruction by his enemies.
    Among so many things I have learned, one is Oppenheimer’s way with narratives, in writing and speech.
    I admire Oppenheimer’s nuance, intellect, brilliance, and the poetry in his use of English language, to convey complex thoughts, to architect subject matters, to persuade what he staunchly believed in, and to imply the mystery of the unknown.  Even in his most persuasive statements, his points were woven by logic, facts, and structure. They do not come across as imposing, but with sensitivity even in the strongest argument.
