Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
I spoke at the Social Media Strategies Summit in London, where Philip Briffett from Living Social showed this video as part of his presentation. I laughed & then I quickly searched for it on the web so I could share it with you. I completely relate, having reading glasses scattered throughout my home, office & […]

Can friendship be reduced to an algorithm? Yes! Says Sheldon of the Big Bang Theory
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture, Humor & comedy
One of my kids got me into watching the tv show ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ If you’ve not seen it it’s a bunch of uber, over the top, academically smart students trying to make it in a world of confusingly, erratic, unscientific, unpredictable, human behaviour. The Heart Life Lens™ world of subtle emotions & intuitive […]

Success is not always what you see (from one carrot to another)
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Diversity & culture
This cartoon from Emotionz via my colleague Jules Andre-Brown, had me laughing out loud. It’s such a great illustration of the difference between a Carrot Life Lens™ & a Mountain Life Lens™. Mountains may miss the depth of Carrot systems, while Carrots may miss the view from above that Mountains have. Which view are you […]

Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness, Humor & comedy
“A robotic hand designed by scientists at the University of Tokyo, Japan, will beat a person at rock-paper-scissors every single time, says The Daily Telegraph. “Rather than any magic or mathematical algorithm, the robotic hand in fact cheats its way to victory by ‘seeing’ which of the three hand-shapes its human rival is about to […]

A new twist on having a ‘bun in the oven’
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Creativity & innovation, Humor & comedy, Training & development
What does a bun in the oven mean to you? As someone who graduated, got engaged, got married, got pregnant & gave birth without the power of the internet behind me, I find it fascinating how people are using technology to share, teach, delight, surprise & confound… For those of us in learning & development, […]

Rarely are things so clear cut (or funny) as this pie chart
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy
Perspective is an elusive thing. What’s clear to you, may be fuzzy to me. What’s obvious to me may be a huge mud puddle to you. Rarely are things so clear as this pie chart. The view from a Mountain Life Lens™ perspective can be vague, cloudy & confusing for a Carrot Life Lens™. And conversely, […]

How to get fired using Twitter
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
The following post is from Mashable & goes to show how uh, dumbass some folks can be on social media, but also how the appropriate response can use humour & panache to get the point across. Point taken? This should go without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: Don’t ask for a drug dealer to […]
