About this listen
In the entire world today, there are two unmistakable gatherings of persons - the individuals who comprehend the intensity of personal branding and apply it to all aspects of their lives and the individuals who aren't even mindful of its presence as a power affecting on their lives in a moment by minute level.
So, what is this marvel of personal branding? Is it genuine? Or, then again, one more of the plenty of current adages taken from the promoting scene and adjusted to different employments. At Synergy, we will, in general, consider the individual to be genuine, just as much as a brand, in its business sense, is an element with extraordinary influence in the psyche of the shopper, so is an individual equivalent to a brand.
Consider anybody you know and record the substantial qualities that make that individual interesting to you and unmistakably separate to different individuals you know. Similarly, a brand, for example, Coke or Persil, may have a physical size, shading, and weight. In humans, too, there are noticeable qualities like attire, hair shading, stature, construct, and so on.
Then, consider the components of the individual that are, maybe, not as easily obvious. This might be their attitude, character, understanding, and comical inclination - you get the idea. Advertisers take these components and make a "brand chunk of ice" this is essentially the characteristics that are unmistakable. The top piece of the icy mass joins with the non-obvious characteristics, the concealed piece of the ice sheet.

Writing a blog post is a little like driving; you can study the highway code (or read articles telling you how to write a blog post) for months, but nothing can prepare you for the real thing like getting behind the wheel and hitting the open road. Or something. A blog (shortening of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on an individual subject.

The power of glitzy advertising and elaborate marketing campaigns is on the wane; word- of-mouth referrals are what drive business today. People trust the recommendation of a friend, family member, colleague, or even stranger with similar tastes over anything thrust at them by a faceless company. Most business owners believe that whether customers refer them is entirely out of their hands. But science shows that people can't help recommending products and services to their friends....

Many of the areas that salespeople struggle with these days have long been the domain of marketers, according to best-selling author John Jantsch.

It's no longer enough to view a salesperson's job as closing. Today's superstars must attract, teach, convert, serve, and measure while developing a personal brand that stands for trust and expertise.

The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

Story
In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Story
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Story
Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Story
In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried 58 shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.
