A nice idea. pBot, job applicant: “pBot was a project conceived out of frustration with the job application process; specifically the pseudoscientific ‘personality test' that seems to tacked on the end of every application for even the lowest level jobs. Instead, pBot will fill out Unicru job application ‘personality tests' for you.” More information at the add-on's official site.

What makes a marketing campaign go viral

What makes a marketing campaign go viral Unfortunately theres no one tried and tested way to get a campaign to go viral. Its more of an art than a science but there are a few things that viral campaigns have in common that you can try to recreate in your marketing activities. A multi-channel assault Videos are often credited as being the type of content that goes viral but actually these videos are usually accompanied by all sorts of other marketing activity too. Consider text marketing from GlobalMessaging along with social media, email campaigns and maybe even print advertising too. Just take a look at O2s Be More Dog campaign, you can easily see that this is more than just a few adverts and online videos. Make people feel good If we take a look at the Ice Bucket Challenge from 2014, its easy to see how making someone feel good is a recipe for success. In posting their own ice bucket videos, people all over the world were feeling good for spreading awareness and donating money to charity. The same goes for the #nomakeupselfie campaign that Cancer Research UK adopted as its own. These are both good examples of campaigns that have gone viral and raised a huge amount for charity too. Evoke an emotional response Youll need to do this quickly in order to keep a viewers (or readers) attention. Keep your branding to a minimum and focus on how your content makes someone feel. Generally, positive emotions get the best results but negative emotions can work too when paired with anticipation and surprise. Strong feelings of amazement and curiosity are important in viral content but you also need something people can relate to. Your brand will need to be tied into this in some way so a good place to start is to think about the emotions your brand evokes. Once youve identified these emotions, you can start to think about the kind of content that you can tie this to. Make it shareable Content goes viral because someone shares it, then five of their friends share it and so on until its spreading across the web like a virus (hence, the term viral content). This is going to be much easier for people if you include easy ways to share the content. These could be simple sharing icons or even a call to action that asks people to share. The easier you make it for someone to share your content, the more likely it is to happen. Internet users are inherently lazy and very few people will spend time copying and pasting links into their social clients to share a video with their friends. Make it as simple as the click of one button. Keep it simple Dont over-complicate your content. Youre more likely to get a result if you keep your message simple and to-the-point. This will ensure your content appeals to a wide range of people too. Thinking carefully about your content can give it more chances to go viral but sometimes its more about being in the right place at the right time.

Three Ways Women Hold Themselves Back - And What To Do About It -

Three Ways Women Hold Themselves Back - And What To Do About It - Have you ever felt like you just weren’t good enough to apply for a position… despite meeting all the qualifications? Do you ever feel the need to change yourself because it makes other people feel more comfortable with you? Do you feel pressured to take on roles like the office secretary or office party planner while your peers get to enjoy the benefit of your extra efforts? If you’ve answered yes to any of these, you’re not alone. In fact, most women at some point in their careers haveâ€"consciously or notâ€"doubted their abilities, downplayed their hard-earned achievements, and hidden their true selves. And being expected to take on the “office housework” takes us away from our core responsibilities. But why? And what can we do disrupt the bias and overcome self-limiting behaviors that hold us back from reaching our highest potential? As much progress as there has been over the past half-century and more, women in leadership positions still remain the exception and not the norm. Like it or not, women professionals at all levels and almost all industries are still playing in a man’s world and so the pressure to conform to male leadership archetypes and behaviors is strong. Sometimes that pressure to fit in and to not make waves is so strong we take it upon ourselves to conceal our opinions and ambition. And while it’s obvious that shrinking ourselves does not serve us or our workplaces, it can be very difficult to shift into a more courageous mindset that honors our true selvesâ€"especially when up agianst traditional workplace standards. Here are three proven ways to stop self-limiting behaviors in their tracks and begin cultivating your authentic professional brand. Feeling like you’re not good enough? Here’s how to own your success. Almost every woman I’ve encountered has dealt with “imposter syndrome” at some point in their careerâ€"even the high-ranking executives! Their advice for conquering those (fake) feelings of inferiority is to get clear on the unique value you bring to your job. Begin by creating a list of all your recent successes-â€"start with those over the past year and keep going back in time to the earliest days of your career. Review your list of successes daily for 10 days and take the time to reflect on the skills and talents you tapped into to achieve them. Next, think about how you can use that unique value you bring to take on new challenges and level up in your career. Remember, battling imposter syndrome isn’t about gaining new skills; it’s about realizing the skills and achievements you already have so you can reframe the negative with the true facts. Feeling like you need to change yourself to be agreeable? Here’s how to speak up authentically.  Many women face an internal battle between wanting to be the “good girl” who is nice, agreeable, and doesn’t make waves while also being bold about her values and professional goals. In the workplace, trying to be the “good girl” can feel like walking a tightrope between being: Nice (because girls and women are nice) but not too nice (you don’t want to be a pushover) Confident (so that you can command respect) but not too confident (or you’ll seem like a bitch) Forgiving (because women should let things go and not take things so personally) Devoted (because women should put their companies above their own personal lives)  How exhausting. Think about how much more we all could achieve if we weren’t so hyper-focused on these impossible expectations and instead unleashed our true powers, perspective and talents! Reflect on how it would feel to take most authentic course of action then compare it to what it would take to live up to these unproductive standards as a barometer to boost your confidence in leading as your true self. Feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed? Here’s how to create space and support for your goals. The most important piece of advice I have taken away from women (and men) leaders is that nobody does it alone. Relationships are everything. We all need support to help us think through our problems and find solutions, remind us of our strengths and successes, and speak up for us when necessary. If you are feeling overwhelmed and not sure how to move forward in your job or career, seek out an ally, sponsor, or mentor who has been in your shoes. Find someone who can be your sounding board to help you see the big picture. Find someone who believes in you and has your best interests in mind. But you need to be that trusted confidante for someone else too.   I believe it is equally important to be that ally, sponsor, or mentor for other women. There is so much value in creating connections with those with more experience and less to gather a wide range of perspectives and learn new ways of tackling old problems. Most importantly, working together to lift up women at all levels is the only way we can begin to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all women.

Steal our best exercise for happiness at work The Poncho - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Steal our best exercise for happiness at work The Poncho - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Praising people at work is great, but hard. It takes some practice to do well and doesnt come naturally to many people. So ages ago we developed an exercise to help teams praise each other and its our absolute favorite thing to do in our workshops. And now weve put the instructions online, so you can do it with your team. We have done this hundreds of times and it never fails. It takes about 30 minutes and works in groups of 10 people and upwards. Weve done it with hundreds of participants, but typically well do it with one department or team, so about 10-50 people. You will need a flip-over chart and a marker pen for each person. Heres how to do it, step by step. 1: Give each person a marker pen and a flip-over chart. 2: Ask each person to tear a whole in the middle of the sheet of paper and then put it on like a poncho. The easiest way is to fold the chart into quarters and tear off one corner. 3: Once everyone is wearing their poncho, give people the following instructions: ?Go around and write on the backs of other people. Write the stuff you like and appreciate about the person. The stuff they do well and the qualities they have. Write on as many people as possible, write as much as possible but only write it if you mean it.? 4: Then give people time to write on each other.?Groups up to 20 people will need about 10 minutes for the actual writing, larger groups may need more time. 5: Once people have finished writing on each other, give them these instructions: ?I bet you?re all wondering what people have been writing on you. Please keep your ponchos on and sit down. Now for the next minute, you?re not allowed to speak. You?re only allowed to read what it says on your poncho and to enjoy it. Please, take them off and read them now?. 6: Give them a minute or so to read their ponchos. 7: Ask them to turn to their neighbor and discuss what it says on their poncho. Did anything surprise them? What do they especially appreciate? 8: End the exercise and thank them for participating. We?ve done this exercise with leaders, employees, government workers, school teachers, school kids, social workers, secretaries, lab workers, prison guards, kitchen staff and many, many other groups and it works every single time. Participants especially enjoy that: It?s easy to give praise. It?s easy to receive praise ? you don?t have to respond to it, only to enjoy it. They learn what people appreciate about you. People get praised both for what they do but also for who they are. They can save their ponchos and take them out and read them when the need a boost. My favorite part of the poncho exercise is when you get chains of 5-10 people, each writing on the back of the next one. Your take What do you think would this work in your workplace?
