Very few people want a 'not-better' future. Almost everyone has a view on what a 'better future' is. The newly launched Better Futures Programme at the University of Cambridge is part of a global movement devoted to ushering in system change for good, attentive to what is emerging and what might be. (Full disclosure - I'm one of the people privileged to be co-curating the programme - pls get in touch if you want to know more.)

Yale Young Global Scholars 2024! Yale Young Global Scholars Look back at my last post to read about the experience!

Dr. Duuamene share his story with me on how he graduated with a first class in his bachelor's degree, distinction in his master's degree and successfully enrolled for and completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge. If you desire such kind of success please watch this episode of Great Minds with Keke on https://lnkd.in/epb_qHMq

My point is, we're embarrassed about things we should be proud of and proud of things we should be embarrassed about. Must watch for every student graduating from a university and joining the real world to build a career. https://lnkd.in/dZB8vNA2 Jerry Seinfeld delivers a humorous and thought-provoking commencement address at Duke University, emphasizing the importance of humour, hard work, paying attention, and falling in love. He encourages graduates to find fascination, not just passion, and to enjoy the small things in life. Seinfeld also advises against taking oneself too seriously and urges graduates to maintain their sense of humour throughout life. The three keys to life according to Seinfeld: bust your ass, pay attention, and fall in love. Effort always yields a positive value. Even if the outcome of the effort is absolute failure of the desired result. This is a rule of life. Find something where you love the good parts and don't mind the bad parts too much. The torture you're comfortable with. The less secure and confident you feel in the direction, the more surprises and excitement you will have in store. Please watch this video and share it with all your students! #careercoach #humour #commencement #duke #lifelesson #graduationceremoney #careercounseling #careercoaching #encouragement #motivation #career #comedylife #motivation #nafsa2024 #icef #studyabroad #studymasters

Very insightful and expressed in terms that correctly equates a higher state of being with intelligence; and compassion, empathy and creativity as necessary attributes of an advanced people.

🌐 Ivy League Mastery: Deciphering the Art & Science of Decision-Making 🎓✨ I am ecstatic to divulge my latest scholarly conquest at the illustrious Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, an Ivy League bastion of knowledge. My intellectual odyssey through the course "Decision-Making: Blending Art & Science" has culminated in a triumphant 100% grade score. 🏆🧠 This cerebral voyage, steered by the sagacious Professor Sydney Finkelstein, bestowed upon me the acumen to: - Unravel the neuroscientific underpinnings of decision-making, appreciating the cerebral alchemy that orchestrates our choices. - Navigate the labyrinth of emotional biases, emerging with the prowess to calibrate decisions with equanimity and perspicacity. - Synthesize experience and expertise, forging a decision-making crucible that melds intuition with empirical wisdom. With a heart brimming with gratitude, I express my humble gratitude towards Sydney Finkelstein Sir for his erudition and mentorship—a veritable lighthouse in the fog of uncertainty. 🙏 As I stand on the precipice of future endeavors, I am armed with an arsenal of strategies, ready to deploy the quintessence of Ivy League erudition in the theater of professional challenges. #StrategicSavvy #IvyLeagueExcellence #DartmouthDecisions #LeadershipLore #DecisionScience #GradeAChampion 🌟

So inspiring 🙌. 3 take away points for me from this wonderful speech: 1. Self- discovery 2. The role of a mentor 3. Giving value

⚠️⚠️ Warning for those with visual sensory sensitivities: Garish image⚠️⚠️ Reasons this is a bad idea: - it’s ugly - it’s inaccessible ^^^ - it’s weak branding (not immediately recognisable except for how awful it is) - It will look awful on academic posters/presentations/papers - it’s embarrassing - it will do that thing that every student and staff member knows to avoid at all cost: it will bring the ”College into disrepute” Imperial College London: this rebrand has myriad consequences that I do not think were fully considered. It is harmful for neurodivergent students, staff and anyone else that will consume the branding. It will be harmful for the College’s recognisability. It will be harmful not only to the reputation of the College but also the reputations of the researchers and students of the College. I and many others urge you to reconsider this branding decision. https://chng.it/ZhJDXLynbr
