Facebook Turns Red as SCOTUS Marriage Equality Hearings Begin Marriage equality activists are protesting outside the Supreme Court Tuesday, as the nation's highest court begins two days of hearings about two same-sex marriage laws.

How to Split Test Your Facebook Content Split testing is everywhere in the digital world – you name it and it’s being split tested right now. However, the concept of split testing Facebook posts doesn’t seem to have taken off, and we think it’s about time it did.

JO-G - Best Message Against Racism Leader Empathy: The Key to Effective Relationships In my article on Positive Outlook, I quoted a senior manager at a large US hospital network who described how mindfulness helped her minimize negative reactions to workplace experiences. This included an ability to remind herself that she was often not fully aware of the needs and motivations of others, and therefore should not rush to judge their intentions. Like the other 41 leaders I interviewed, her in-depth discussion of this topic showed an improved capacity for the Emotional and Social Intelligence (ESI) Competency of Empathy. Empathy is one of the Social Awareness competencies in the twelve-competency Leadership Competency Model developed by Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatzis. Strength in this competency is also demonstrated by leaders who: Listen attentivelyAre able to understand unspoken or confused attempts at communicationEngage in actions indicating a sincere interest in othersHave an increased capacity to respect diversity How Empathy Integrates with Workplace Activity

Although I use it frequently for e-mailing with colleagues or texting with my family, I also use its apps to find information or to entertain myself. And as I navigate its 3.5-inch screen, I routinely encounter something else: a growing stream of itsy-bitsy advertisements. When I click on the app for the online magazine Slate, for instance, I see a banner—smaller than my pinkie—for something called Bingo Rush, with little stars and the word “free.” These balky, Lilliputian ads represent the state of the art in mobile advertising—and they don’t work. The best way for marketers to communicate through mobile will be with apps. 1. 2. 3.
What are the top elearning portals? - Quora Three Kinds of Empathy: Cognitive, Emotional, Compassionate Being cool in crisis seems essential for our being able to think clearly. But what if keeping cool makes you too cold to care? In other words, must we sacrifice empathy to stay calm? The first is “cognitive empathy,” simply knowing how the other person feels and what they might be thinking. But there can be a dark side to this sort of empathy – in fact, those who fall within the “Dark Triad” – narcissists, Machiavellians, and sociopaths (see Chapter 8 in Social Intelligence) – can be talented in this regard, while having no sympathy whatever for their victims. Katrina’s devastation, we all saw, was amplified enormously by the lackadaisical response from the very agencies that were supposed to manage the emergency. Certainly empathy qualifies as one critical measure of the right leader in a crisis, along with being cool under pressure. Paul told me about his daughter, who works as a social worker in a large city hospital.

Empathy in Times of Crisis - The Beryl Institute - Improving the Patient Experience We are facing a critical time of fear and uncertainty with the invasion of the novel Corona virus on the world stage, when healthcare organizations are scrambling to keep patients and workers safe, informed and calm. When fear takes hold, we can expect reactions to follow along a continuum from frank denial to full scale panic. Both of these extreme responses are not only unhelpful, but dangerous. When people raid grocery stores or hospital shelves and stock up on more hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes or face masks than they could possibly need, they leave others vulnerable to infection and with even greater fear and loss of control. In a time of crisis, we need to worry about other people as much or even more than ourselves. Many regard empathy as merely a soft emotion of feeling sorry for others. How does empathy relate to emotional intelligence (EI)? Self-Awareness Self-awareness means recognizing your own emotions. Other-Awareness and Empathy Self-Management and Self-Empathy Dr.
Case Study: Coke's Twitter Contest Diet Coca-Cola partnered up with heart-health organization The Heart Truth this month for heart month. The partnership is a two-year strong relationship between the two organizations to help promote women’s heart health. As part of its partnership, Diet Coca-Cola launched a contest on Twitter and Instagram called “#ShowYourHeart. The contest becomes one of many social media marketing tactics used by the soda maker. In Diet Coca-Cola’s #ShowYourHeart contests, the company wanted users to show they care about heart month and everything that comes with it. Visitors of Coca-Cola’s website were notified of the contest. The contest itself took place a month before heart month (which is held in February, ironically due to Valentine’s Day- I’m guessing it helps exposure). Coca-Cola will donate $1 for every photo shared. The Diet Coca-Cola Twitter and Instagram contest generated thousands of entrants and was quite the success. Twitter users were engaged with the brand.

L'hanno chiamata «la donna più brutta del mondo», ma la sua risposta ha colpito a fondo TUTTI Questa donna ammirevole ci dà una grande lezione di vita. Lizzie Velasquez è nata con una malattia rara che soltanto un’altra persona al mondo condivide con lei. Questa malattia è talmente rara che non esistono spiegazioni a proposito, al di là del fatto che chi ne è affetto non riuscirà mai a prendere peso. In 25 anni di vita, Lizzie non ha mai pesato più di 30 kg. Quello che mi ha colpito è soprattutto la sua storia e il modo in cui ha lottato per non lasciare che fosse la malattia a definire chi fosse lei.
