The PJ Masks are on their way into the night to save the day. Let's join them in their headquarters. Who's there at the moment? It's Catboy. Let's see what he's up to. Gako and Owlette are out finding Romeo. He's been trying to sneak into our base. Better check if our defences are working. That'll stop anyone from getting in. Better check the control centre. Bending me to go and help them. Let me see if I can see them from the zip wire. Activate cat eyes. The zip wire won't quite reach. Better use the cat car. It's time to be a hero. I'd better go help Owlette and Gekko. Can you guard the base for me? That'll teach Romeo. Thanks for watching the base. PJ Masks all shout hooray because in the night they save the day. Roll your mouse over the screen and click on the top right hand corner for more information.


Our next speaker is a gentleman that I'm looking forward to listening to because I used to be in his profession. He's a venture capitalist. I used to do that and now I'm a dating coach and confidence coach which my mom isn't a humongous fan of as you can imagine. She used to be able to say, oh yeah, my son's a venture capitalist. What does he do now? He's a dating coach. But hey, he can't do what mom wants you to do. You gotta follow your passion. So we've got Ben Benson coming on and as I said, he's a VC and a social entrepreneur, sorry, serial entrepreneur. He has written nine books all on business. He's interviewed over 200 people, including the Oracle of Omaha. Anyone know who that is? Warren Buffett. Guy has a couple bucks and he's got 20 years of experience in the finance VC world. So help me welcome Ben. A West Texas rancher, this is one of those real rich Texans, tens of thousands of acres of land, dozens of producing oil wells. He's got an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a mansion of a house. And what he wanted to do was hold a party for his daughter, his youngest daughter who he wanted to marry off as quickly as he could. So he invited all the best-looking single salesmen from all over West Texas to come to this party. Now this is one of those real rich Texans, tens of thousands of acres of land, dozens of producing oil wells. He's got an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a mansion of a house, tens of thousands ahead of cattle. And the party goes really well. And at about midnight, he invites everyone out to his Olympic-sized swimming pool that he has the foresight to stock with alligators and crocodiles. And he says, the first man that will jump in this pool and swim the length of it and get out the other side alive and in one piece, I'll give 10,000 acres of my best land to. And if he doesn't want the land, I'll give him a million dollars in cash. And if he doesn't want the cash, I'll give him the hand of my beautiful daughter in marriage. And she was a good-looking girl. Now no sooner as he said that, there was a loud splash by an almost immediate emergence of a guy getting out the other end of the pool alive and in one piece. Now the host is stunned. So he runs down to the other end of the pool and he says, that's amazing. You must have just set a world record that will never be broken. He says, what do you want? 10,000 acres of my best land? No, sir. A million dollars in cash? No, sir. Then he says and puts his arm around him. He says, well, son, I have to assume you want to take the hand of my beautiful daughter in marriage. And I don't need to tell you this, but everyone knows whoever gets the hand of my beautiful daughter in marriage will eventually get everything I own. Is that what you want? And the response is again, no, sir. So the host says, for crying out loud, what do you want? He says, I want to know the name of the guy that just pushed me in the swimming pool. Now here's the question. How many of you by show of hands would agree that that guy was motivated? Show of hands. All right, everyone in the room. So if you consider this, we do a lot of presentations for a lot of different types of groups. And quite often we'll have a situation where people will call me in to do a presentation and say, we've just brought Ben in today. And for the next 25 minutes, he's going to motivate you. And everyone kind of folds their arms and sits back in the seat.  They're thinking to themselves, oh, yeah, let's see how he does. 25 minutes later, you drag yourself out of the room. And everyone thinks to themselves, yes, I'm still demotivated. Well, I'm really excited to be here today. And I want to share with you some things that I think can make a difference. My name is Ben Benson. And I want to share with you a couple of principles, a few principles that I think if you apply and experiment with will bring an understanding and an increase in productivity, particularly in the business world. How many of you by show of hands are currently working for yourself? Or perhaps you'd like to work for yourself sometime in the future? About everyone in the room. So would it be fair in saying that we're all entrepreneurs here? We all want to do something different, perhaps make our mark in the world? So what we're going to do is look at a couple of principles and kind of give you a little bit about background of what I've done, how I got in this position, so that perhaps you can relate to what's necessary and really take your situation to the next level. About 10 years ago, I was in a situation where I thought, how am I going to really take what I feel in my head, what I can see in my mind and make it really my world? And what I'm about to share with you are some of the principles that helped me do that. Perhaps the best place to start is at the beginning. When I was five years old, my mother asked me a question that to this day, until my dying day, I'll never forget. She said, son, I'm leaving the home. Who do you want to live with? Me or your dad? Five years old. I ran out of the house, ran down the street and never saw my mom again. A few hours later, my dad came and found me and my dad brought me up until I was about 24 years old. Well, I knew my dad until about 24 years old and then for one thing or another, he left the family. But the reason I share that with you is this. The reason why my parents split up and the reason why we always had problems in our home was because of money or the lack of money. Everything was related to this problem of not being able to manage financially. Now, some of you may be able to resonate with that. Some of you may know people that perhaps have been in that situation. Some of you might be going through some major challenges right now. But what I want to share with you is a series of ideas and principles that I think if you understand on a macro level and then down to specifically what you're doing on a daily basis, you can make a difference for you and those people around you. Pretty bold claim to make, I know. But I'm confident, satisfied. We've shared this with lots and lots of different types of people and the feedback that we've had has been significant. So with that, let's just have a look at the current situation kind of globally. Let's understand what's happening on a global level. And then I'm going to bring it right down to you as an individual as to what is currently happening and what's going on in your own mind and some of the things that you can do to make things happen. First of all, in the new economy, only three employees will be required for a new company, for a large company or any company.  The man will be there to feed the dog and the dog will be there to stop the man from touching the computer. See, just last week, I went into my local bank to pay some money into my account. Only 18 months ago, I could go into my local branch and there would be eight to 10 people sitting behind glass sections ready to serve. Today, there's one person sitting behind a glass section and one person managing nine paying in machines. How many of you know what I'm talking about? Look down the checkout aisle of any supermarket and you will notice that slowly but surely convey about tellers are being replaced by self-service machines, right? Filling stations, slowly becoming fully automated. 24 hours they're open now, not because they have more staff, but because they have more unmanned computers. See, new technology has been dissolving large corporations for some time and the hard facts remain, if you're an employee, if you work for a large organization, then in the next few years, two to three years, you will be in a minority.


From Orlando, Florida, it's theCUBE. Covering SAP Sapphire Now 2018, brought to you by NetApp. Hey, welcome to theCUBE. I'm Lisa Martin with Keith Townsend and we are live in the NetApp booth at SAP Sapphire 2018. We're joined by Robert Stumpf, Senior Director of IT Enterprise Solution Delivery. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. So we're here in the NetApp booth at Sapphire Now. As they said in the keynote this morning, they're expecting a million people to engage with SAP Sapphire this week. I think I've heard rumblings, there's about 20 plus thousand people here in attendance. Huge event, huge show, lots of announcements. Let's talk about NetApp and SAP as partners, specifically in the context of the NextGen Data Center. Bringing cloud-ready solutions to business applications. What are you guys doing there with SAP? Sure, can talk a little bit about that. The NetApp solutions fit into the NextGen Data Center in a variety of different ways. We have the Alphas Flash that really is the core of our product base and is really the workhorse of all of the hardcore applications. It gives you really strong performance in the storage area. Then we have the cloud volumes, when you want to scale out to a hyperscaler and you can use the cloud volumes abilities there. Then when you look at our HDI components, it is capable of giving you a lot more of the container-based compute power. So we fit into a variety of different components there. So Robert, we're at SAP, and SAP hasn't been traditionally known as a cloud-aware application. Tell us, from the NetApp perspective, what's changed with SAP over the years that now you can constantly talk about SAP as a cloud-aware application? So SAP is moving a long way in that direction. You saw this morning in the keynote that they were talking about the C4, their customer-focused applications. That's really kind of putting a framework on top of all of the customer engagements and making the customer the center of everything. So they're moving a lot in that direction. We at NetApp have implemented their hybrid platform, their cloud-for-customer application. We just went live with that last year. So we're on that journey with SAP as well. So as we talk about that, what makes the application, or what make applications in general, cloud-aware? Okay, when you look at making something cloud-aware, you want to really look at the architecture that you have underneath it. So you'll build something that has a lot more automation in it, a lot more scalable, where you don't have to, the scalability is built into the framework that you're leveraging. In the case of our NetApp support site, which we just completely re-architected and went live last month, we have built that on what's called a mean stack. So that's with the Mongo database on the back end. It's a non-SQL database. And then on top of Angular and Node.js, which gives you a much more robust framework for you to be able to scale out your application. So with it being a website, your volume can go up and down. So you want to be able to scale the application without needing people to get involved in that scaling. So they will just fire up new containers that are needed as the volume increases. And it's a lot more robust in architecture. So as we look at hybrid, as we look at NetApp products and solutions, that framework and architecture, can you paint a picture for us what NetApp solutions and products are cloud-aware? Sure, cloud-aware applications really, you need to look at the complete stack of the next generation of data center, which is really embodying the on-prem data center, your hyperscaler cloud data centers, and then a private cloud if you so wish to build one. So the next generation data center takes advantage of the all-files flash on your on-prem solution. So you've got your performance, high performance, scalability. Then your cloud volumes allows you to move your data between your on-prem to the hyperscaler as you need to. And the HCI component gives you that container-based computer array that allows the applications to scale. Also, you can leverage storage grid, which is much more of an object-based database, which is something that you'll use extensively on cloud-aware applications. So thanks, Gabe. So one of the things that was announced this morning, you mentioned C for HANA, where Bill McDermott was sort of expected to announce what SAP was going to be doing that's going to help differentiate them. They want more share from Salesforce and Oracle. He made kind of some aloof references to that. But one of the things that he talked about was companies need, in this day and age, speed, obviously, but to move away from a 360-degree view of sales automation to an actual 360-degree view of the customer. I'd love to get your insight on NetApp and SAP as partners together. Are you seeing any particular industries leading here? We think of like manufacturing, maybe automotive, oil and gas, but I'm just wondering from NetApp's perspective, are you seeing any industries that are really leading inch here in evolving to a next-gen data center that enables this 360-degree view? There's a variety of different industries that are doing that. If you take a look at applications like Netflix and Amazon Prime, those applications are architecture to be scalable and to be much more robust. And they're much more focused on the customer and because you don't have outages, right? They don't take the system offline when they're doing an upgrade to their capabilities. When was the last time you heard of Netflix going offline for 12 hours to do an upgrade? So these applications are built much more robustly around that. And that's one thing that we're looking to do at NetApp with the hybrid implementation that we did with SAP. And we're also upgrading our back-office CRM system to their CRM on HANA, on-prem, and we're going to be taking advantage of the hybrid capabilities there to give that full picture of the customer. We'll be heavily engaged with SAP on their C4 journey and making sure that we are part of that as well. So it's great that you brought up Netflix as an example of a continuously operating environment that has this huge back-end automated with technology. SAP traditionally hasn't been considered a technology that you could upgrade on the fly. You know, I managed SAP environment where we can only take 12 hours of downtime a year because mission-critical, it's very difficult to get that time. How has the NetApp data fabric story played into making that a possibility in your own environment and customer's environment? Okay, we leverage a lot of the NetApp storage on our on-prem system. I'm in exactly the same situation as you were talking about. We have a lot of mission-critical customers that are on our support application. I have to give 90 days' notice to take the system down for any longer than four hours at a time. So I'm in that very similar situation. So we leverage a lot of the NetApp technologies to make sure that the applications are available when I'm doing the upgrades and we can do rapid copies of the data that's in there, make sure it's all robust. Our database failover systems are set up that way so that they take advantage of the snapshots that we got from the application. And we're working with SAP, the SAP hybrid application is actually built on top of NetApp storage. And we're working very closely with SAP to re-architect their application to take advantage of the capabilities that NetApp storage brings to the equation. So NetApp is coming into its own in this hybrid cloud model. It's been around 26 years, right? Long time. But now it's everything is speed, right? You mentioned Netflix and I don't know anybody on the planet that would survive if Netflix went down for an hour, a little on 12. So speed, access to data. But this evolution of NetApp, I'm interested in. Now, again, in this hybrid cloud model, you guys made your name from building network-attached storage on-prem data centers, the announcement with what? Google platform, cloud platform just last week. Talk to us about some of the evolution from NetApp, from your perspective, from a storage perspective into really facilitating this hybrid cloud model. Sure, we're really at the forefront of that because at the end of the day, it's all about the data, right? Your application can run wherever you want, but wherever your data is, it's really the key. And that's the framework that we're putting in place is to make your data a lot more mobile. So if you want to keep the data on-premise, then you can keep it on-premise. If you want to move it out to that, and next to the hyperscaler, you can burst it out. You can use the cloud volumes and migrate the data. So the NetApp picture, the story is really in making your data much more mobile and moving it to the location of choice for any particular workload that you're looking for. So we can't have a discussion in 2018 about data without talking about privacy and security. What's the relationship in ensuring that NetApp and SAP is one, meeting requirements, GDPR, we have to talk about GDPR, and we have to talk about security. How is NetApp securing data and ensuring that end users and organizations' data stay private? It's a very good question, right? It's definitely a challenge that a lot of companies are struggling with. And the tools that NetApp provides with our storage systems, security is paramount. And that's something that we're very much focused on and making sure that your data is your data and the specific components of the data that you want to keep on-premise, which you want to keep much more secure, then you can keep that on the NetApp alphas flash, storage systems, and then you protect it as if it's in your own kingdom. But then the data that's a little bit more lacks on the security side, then you can push that out into the hyperscalers and use the NetApp cloud volumes to have it outside of your on-premise, outside of your own firewall. So one of the basic things as a on-tap customer that on-tap customers depend on and the private data centers the disability to encrypt data on the fly. Now that we look at, you know, we see on-tap in the cloud, do we get that same basic capability to encrypt data on the fly or encrypt data while it's in transit? How do I know my data is protected from an encryption perspective? You get the same capabilities when you're using the on-cloud tools that we provide, so there's no real difference in that, and that's the beauty behind it. You're using the same storage management tools for your cloud volumes as you would be for your on-premise systems. I want to ask a question on competition. There's a lot of co-opetition that's going on, just at Sapphire alone. With what you talked about, about how NetApp is leveraging hybris you mentioned to really kind of get towards that model of connecting supply chain with demand, getting that full view of customers, SAP partners with probably all of your competitors, so how is what NetApp is doing internally to digitally transform? How do you see it as giving NetApp that competitive edge against the other guys? Okay, the way that we look at our competitive edge at NetApp from an application standpoint is really focusing on keeping our core capabilities very, very vanilla.  So those are the core capabilities, and we kept that very vanilla as much as possible within the implementation. Where we differentiate, that's where we customize. So our application landscape is much more focused on customizing for the differentiating capabilities, and that's the component that's specific to NetApp and how we do business, and that's the way that we'll go about differentiating ourselves from our competitors. So we use the core capabilities of all of the enterprise applications that we have that we purchase, such as hybris, and then we go build our custom solutions that are the differentiator that really, such as our ASAP auto support system that gets, you know, was embedded right from day one, that's a custom built application, very proprietary. It's really the keys to the kingdom for our organization, and that's something that's very, very integral as part of the NetApp culture. So let's talk about some lessons learned from that. One of the pain points for many SAP customers as they look at capability like ECC on HANA, really want it, but they've customized their environment too much. So making that switch is extremely difficult for them. What have you learned as a team that says, you know what, the best way to stay in line with SAP and follow that roadmap for mission critical applications that are both stable and differentiating, you should follow these basic policies from a hygiene perspective. Sure, we actually went through that last year with our project where we replaced our Salesforce automation system, and we implemented C4C Hybris. So the key to that is really getting the executive sponsorship bought in to making sure that you're adhering to the vanilla applications, not customizing it. So we were very fortunate where we had Henri Richard and Bill Miller, our CIO, they were the executive sponsors of the project, and they were adamant that we would not customize the application.  It was an incredibly painful journey to go through, but the benefits that we got out of the end of it are phenomenal because we were in that situation where we had an overly custom SaaS application that was running our sales organization that really wasn't meeting the needs of the business. Now we have a much more agile implementation that's on top of SAP's Hybris platform and we're taking advantage of the new capabilities they introduce rather than focusing on our own customizations. That's a great summary. I think you articulated very well what one of the themes was from Bill McDermott's keynote this morning is making things simple, it's not an easy thing to do, but it's critical and there's so many business outcomes that can matter that, right? Not just streamlining processes, improving sales and marketing and connecting them together, but really effecting revenue, profit, share, et cetera. So Robert, thanks so much for stopping by theCUBE and chatting with Keith and me today about what you guys are doing with SAP. Great, thank you, thank you for your time. We want to thank you. You're watching theCUBE, Lisa Martin with Keith Townsend from SAP Sapphire 2018. Thanks for watching.


Hello friends, welcome to the session i markup. We are going to discuss matrices. We are given with the question that find values of x, y, z if the matrix A equal to 0 to y, z x, y minus z x minus y, z satisfy the equation transpose of A into A equal to i. Now let us have to the solution. We are given A equal to matrix 0 to y, z x, y minus z x minus y z. Now since we are required to form transpose of A, therefore A transpose equal to 0 to y, z x, y minus z x minus y z. Now we are given in the question that A and A transpose satisfy the equation A transpose A equal to i. Now hence we have 2 y y minus y z minus z z into matrix A which is 2 0 2 y z y minus y minus z equal to identity matrix which is 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1. Now this implies 0 into 0 plus x into x plus x into x 0 into 2 y plus x into y plus x into minus y then x 0 into 0 into z plus x into minus z plus x into z then 2 y into 0 plus y into x plus minus y into x then 2 y into 2 y plus y into y plus minus y into minus y then 2 y plus y into minus z plus minus y into z then z into 0 minus z into x plus z into x then z into 2 y minus z into y plus z into minus y then z into z minus z into minus z plus z into z is equal to identity matrix which is 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1. Now we see that this implies 0 plus x square plus x square 0 plus x y minus x y 0 minus x z plus x z then 0 plus x y minus x y then 4 y square plus y square plus y square then 2 z y minus z y minus z y then 0 minus x z plus x z 2 y z minus y z minus y z then z square plus z square plus z square equal to identity matrix which is 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 this is equal this implies 2 x square 0 0 0 6 y square 0 0 0 and 3 z square equal to identity matrix which is 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1. Now on equating the corresponding elements we have x square equal to 1 this is our first equation 6 y square equal to 1 this is our second equation and 3 z square equal to 1 this is our third equation. Now from equation first we get x square equal to 1 by 2 this implies x equal to plus minus 1 by root 2 from equation second we get y square equal to 1 by 6 this implies y equal to plus minus 1 by root 6 from equation third we have z square equal to 1 by 3 this implies z equal to plus minus 1 by root 3 therefore x equal to plus minus 1 by root 2 y equal to plus minus 1 by root 6 and z equal to plus minus 1 by root 3 is the required answer hope you understood this solution and enjoyed the session goodbye and take care.


Heat number 14 where we'll see Ty Woofenden going from the inside gate in the red helmet colour. Freddie Lingwen out of gate number two in blue. Matty Janowski searching for points. Out of gate number three in white on Francis Gust off the outside, the wild card in the yellow helmet colour. Woofenden has been electric away from the tapes in his last two outings looking to replicate that here in heat number 14. Two points here is in the semis and that will be encouraging for Ty who has found more championship points hard to come by. Woofenden is in ninth place in the championship chase on 46, needs a big night. Here we go then, heat 14, tapes up, away they go. I'll tell you what, Freddie Lingwen's made a lovely start out of gate number two. Janowski's around the outside, Woofenden back into third place. Here comes Janowski. Lovely move down the back straight but as a consequence of that is one very deep in turns three and four but he's managed to hang on out in front. Freddie Lingwen now tucking back to the inside. Is he going to be able to put pressure on Janowski out in front? Janowski responding brilliantly here. Desperately disappointed after the last race where he had to put the bike down but Lingwen coming on strong. Very strong in second place. Janowski's going to have to ride hard now. Yeah, Lingren's attack is going to continue around the inside. He doesn't need to take any risk. This will move him onto nine points. We'll give him a semi-final spot with a right to go so I can't see him looking for anything other than just to follow Janowski and maybe taking advantage of a mistake if he does Lingren. He's just going to settle down but Janowski is big for him. He needed this. Give himself a chance. Indeed he does. Woofenden will be reasonably pleased with one point here. Doubles this score now. He was on three points from three outings. Now he moves on to six. Massey Janowski showing great grit and determination there to come through in a very competitive lineup. Initially it was Lingren away from the tapes but round that first corner he got the better of the opposition. Woofenden back in third place. So three points. Massive points for Massey Janowski. He wins the race. Freddie Lingwen back in second place. Two points. Tai Woofenden in third one point for him and Francis Guesmes is out in heat 14. But good news from Massey Janowski with one qualifying race to come. He's given himself an outside chance. He's in heat 17 off gate number two and that's working well. It is yeah we do that on the inside of him but Tai Woofenden there wasn't able to make the most of gate one. Just by didn't really go to the corner. Lingren moves across leaves a big gap up the inside and just as they get to the corner I think Lingren's well aware that Janowski's carrying far too much speed. He's coming through whatever happens. Moves out to the dirt doesn't go any further than he really needs to. Just keeps the bike flowing nicely. Doesn't panic and turn it too hard and that generates the speed to get himself in front. And yeah doubles his score onto six points. That's given himself a chance.


So being a person who's always into electronics and computers, you might guess I'm almost hyper logical. Like I focus everything on logic and reason and always think in those terms, which often has led me in life to having a hard time with communicating with people. And a lot of scientists and other people in that field of study also have this problem. And it takes a really smart person to bridge that gap. And I've studied a lot of language and I've been trying to become a better communicator because that's actually one of the keys to my business and success comes so much more from my communication with people and less about my technical acumen. There's plenty of people with technical acumen, but you need to be able to communicate with people, to connect with people, to have them fix your computer. So that's kind of how this relates a little bit and is why I study things like this. So the narrative index. Now this is Randy Olson, super smart guy, wrote a book called Houston We Have a Story. Now this is off of his blog post, thescienceandstory.com and it's his formula for the narrative index and it really fascinates me because it's applying mathematics to language. Now there's been a lot of times this has been done in the past, different ways to summarize articles and things like that, but this is really cool. This is from the New Yorker and he is specifically because it's so relevant and topical, wanted to apply narrative index to the speeches written by so many presidents and of course, our new president-elect Trump who this was all done before the election and his narrative index of Trump has a 28. Now he actually consulted with the Clinton team and spoke to him about this and he understands that during the election it was not, he was not as well received because there was competing theories and of course, no theory is really true to prove it so they didn't necessarily take his advice but not by any really fault that they were testing different theories. Now, the here nor there this isn't really about the politics, it's about the ABT theory and how he calculates the narrative index and that's entirely in here. It's really, really simple and it also was fascinating, he did an entire talk about how the creators of South Park which whether you like the show or not they've been running for 20 years and they've been telling story and are very popular and they use this trick as well. So they take and create a narrative index by dividing butts and ends and multiplying times a hundred. So if we have 10 butts, 27 ends and that gives us a narrative index of 37. So this is just interesting and the reason why is because they start going historically backwards and looking at, for example, Lincoln versus Douglas and where they landed on the debates and Lincoln with his much higher narrative index did very well and it's really, he gets a lot deeper as you read the whole article I'm not gonna read it all for you if you're interested in this which it fascinates me you can really dig into some of these speeches that were really popular that had these really high narrative indexes and it's using that strategy of and but therefore and it's the narrative of storytelling. So he refers to some people being an and and we can do this and we can do this and we can do this but the more effective storytellers would be people who drive the story by saying ABT and this but therefore this and that tells a better narrative it tells a better story. Now this is like I said, a fascinating read to me is it's applying a combination of mathematics and science to language and we think of language as a softer theory that wouldn't have these hard line ways you can create story and get understanding from people but it's really interesting how this works and he even breaks down and like I said it's so topical and we have so much more information now than ever before that the worst narrative index Trump had was when he read from a teleprompter there's the times when he read he had really low and when he just off the cuff some people have a tendency to speak this way and that is a maybe they're not looking at the science and they naturally come to that conclusion but the people who are deal makers and the people who are telling that story and really getting their point across to get things done have a very high narrative index. So like I said, this is just a fascinating story to me a fascinating read. You can also go through here there's a video he has on it. It's a short video you can find in a spoing-boing article so if you don't wanna read the entire article here you can just run through here and he breaks down the science of how the South Park guys did it and it's just, it's fascinating, you know and I'll read a little extra real quick here I founded a narrative template that I crafted labeled as the ABT it comes in directly from the co-creators of the ME and Peabody award-winning animated series South Park and a 2011 commentary central documentary about the show they talked about the rule of replacing with which they use for editing scripts they replace the word and with but and therefore to improve storytelling. I mean, this is all the way from 2011 he's just applying the science of it more recently but that just fascinates me and if you want I'll link the article here for the Boing-Boing one and then there's a link to his blog in there for Randy Olson or you can just watch a short little video by him but it's just fascinating to me of how this was done and like I said, this one's back in September but this guy's been preaching this for a little while and it's just, it's fascinating to me so if you want to do some further reading on it I'll post the links here and this one to share it at, thanks.


This hung parliament isn't working for you. Why would it? They've been arguing amongst themselves for three long years. Now they're arguing about arguing, arguing just for the sake of it, and their arguments have crept into your life, crept into your work, crept into your family, their endless arguments of frozen our country. Stopped us focusing on the things that really matter, you matter. Your vote matters. With your vote, you decide. Do you stop the arguing, or let it carry on? End the argument. Stop the chaos. Vote Conservative. Get Brexit done. Get all of this done, and move on. Vote Conservative on Thursday. Get Brexit done.


Some stakeholders in the health and environment sectors have advocated an upward review of a proposed fine of 5,000 Naira for violators of open defecation prohibition bill 2020 when passed into law by the Oyo State House of Assembly. Some of the participants were submitting their memorandum to the Committee on Environment and Ecology during a public hearing on the bill suggested a minimum amount of 10,000 Naira fine to serve as deterrent to others. Chairman of the Committee Olushola Awulabi explained that the practices of open defecation contaminate sources of drinking water and spread diseases like cholera, diarrhea and dysentery. The lawmaker emphasized that the idea is to key into the 2019 presidential executive order on open defecation and to end the practice of open defecation before 2025. We need a clean environment. We need an healthy environment. We need an environment that is welcoming, that will be free of sickness. And we know that a lot of our people need to be educated on how they are managing their self, their waste and their environment. The federal government is, to us, a name of having an LD, a sustainable environment. The state government is tapping into that. We will make sure that we will be on the heart look at all the time. Then at the same time, we will make sure that we stop for the effects of open defecation in our environment. And so many others that we have within our tradition to ensure that our environment is very clean. Area of sensitizations and enforcement, you understand. That is the area. That is the key area. Now what we are doing is not lack of laws. There have been laws over time, you understand. But the implementations of the law to make it effective, the efficacy of it, you understand. And there has to be people, you understand, to enforce the law after people have been briefed on how to do it properly. And when government has provided all the necessary things for people, then there shouldn't be any excuse from anybody to help again.


Mr. Speaker, I beg to be said for a second within the bill in short entitled Virtual Assets Bill. Mr. Speaker, the bill for consideration, the Virtual Assets Bill, seeks to provide for the regulation and supervision of a virtual asset business of the virtual asset business in the Eastern Caribbean currency union and will introduce a licensing regime to be overseen by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in Senusha, the FSRA Mr. Speaker. The new, this bill Mr. Speaker seeks to strengthen the regulatory framework in the advancement of virtual asset business. Virtual asset business includes the transfer of a virtual asset whether or not for value and covers the instances where the virtual assets are accepted as a form of payment for product or service from a vendor. As such, a virtual asset is defined as a digital representation of value that can be traded or transferred digitally and can be used for making payments to investments. However, these do not include the digital representations of the fiat currency such as the Eastern Caribbean central bank ECDB's DeCache. A different Mr. Speaker between the fiat currency of the ECCU which is called DeCache and the virtual asset. A virtual asset is a broader and more expansive notion Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in recent years there has been an increase and an evolving of innovative measures used for the swift transfer of virtual assets. The most common example of these virtual assets being virtual currency such as Bitcoin. We have also seen gaming tokens such as non-fungible tokens, NFTs and governance tokens also considered as virtual assets. Depending on the circumstances and context in which assets exist and are used Mr. Speaker. With the introduction of blockchain technology as a virtual asset just over a decade ago, we have seen an increase in its use as a payment product. Now, starting the benefits derived from the use of virtual assets without established regulations and supervision gives rise to the misuse due to the nature and their speed and reach. So even with virtual assets there needs to be some form of regulation Mr. Speaker and that is what this bill seeks to do. The bill seeks to regulate the whole virtual asset business and it is part of the requirements from the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and it is what is called regional legislation in that each island has passed the virtual asset bill Mr. Speaker. So this bill seeks to license companies or individuals who are part of the virtual asset business Mr. Speaker. Any such person who immediately before the commencement of this act was offering or operating a virtual asset business may continue to operate that virtual asset for 60 days from the date of commencement. However, within 14 days and that is when the change comes. Within 30 days, within 40 days Mr. Speaker of the commencement of this act and application for a license on the section 5 of this bill. So you must apply for a license on the section 5 of this act if you are in the virtual asset business on the section 5 of the act Mr. Speaker you must apply for a license and if you win section 5 you must apply for a license and if you win section 5 you must apply for a license. And if you win section 5 you will see that it says that application for a license a person may make an application for a license of authority to operate a virtual asset business and the time frame for that Mr. Speaker is 30 days on the section, on the clause. On the clause 12-1 the requirement for a license or clause 13, clause 14. Yeah, on the clause 14 Mr. Speaker. You must apply 30 days for a license if you are in the business already on the clause 14 of the act Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this bill also make reference in section 11 to a person of a residence office outside of St. Lucia appointed and having at all times in place a person who is an ordinary resident in St. Lucia to be principal representative Mr. Speaker, we are trying to avoid only somebody having just a plaque and say it's an office. Even in a virtual asset business you must have somebody working in your office, a resident working in your office even though your office, even the operation from outside. The resident you must have a resident person in your office so that they can answer all the queries etc. Mr. Speaker. Section 12 Mr. Speaker that a license shall place a licensee that's a body for a virtual asset business shall place in escrow with a registered trust company or if an entity or person whose business is a provision of trust or custodial services access to discharge financial obligations to clients or licensee and such assets must be equivalent to a minimum of 15% of the total value of client funds held by a licensee. That's an amendment Mr. Speaker which we are going to propose in section, in section. So Mr. Speaker you must have 15% of the total value of client funds in an escrow account if you have that kind of business. That means you must have the person who is investing, the person who is investing in your asset business must be assured that you have at least 15% in an escrow that they can use that they can claim if anything goes wrong. That's in section 12. Mr. Speaker in section 13 to avoid money laundering the person who is in that business must comply with the requirements of the Money Laundering Prevention Act cap 12.20 of solution so that anybody who is in that business must comply with all the requirements of the Money Laundering the Money Laundering Prevention Act Mr. Speaker. So Mr. Speaker in summary this bill seeks to modernize the financial environment in which we operate. We are operating in an environment of virtual assets. We are operating in an environment of Bitcoin, Bitcoin an environment of in a blockchain environment where we have fast moving assets, people doing business e-commerce, doing business on the internet so there must be some level of control and there must be some level of scrutiny. And in solution the FSRA is the body charge to do that scrutiny, perform that scrutiny under the supervision of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. Mr. Speaker this is to modernize the financial space in which we exist to modernize the environment in which we exist to create new means of new opportunities for business people and I know that many young people are interested in the virtual asset business so this bill what it seeks to do is it seeks to create an enabling environment for that business to operate but the necessary control and necessary regulations so it can operate within the ambit of the law and it can protect people who invest in that business Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker on the section 4, section 4-3 Mr. Speaker if a person continues to operate a virtual asset business the person shall within 7 days of the commencing of this act make an application for license on the section 5. So Mr. Speaker if you are already in the business when this act is passed in this parliament within 7 days must begin the application process so you can get your business registered as a virtual asset business. Mr. Speaker as I said this is again modernizing the financial space creating more opportunity but doing it in a regulated fashion and in a fashion that is accountable so we can protect the assets of the people who invest in that kind of business Mr. Speaker. I ask honourable members for the support.


What's up everybody? Jason from jaspyscasebrakes.com. This filler here sells out the 80 box prism blaster draft picks football break With this 2020 optic football blaster one box break number 12 And hey guys first we do the break randomize customer names and teams distribute the hits out then at the end of the break We'll take all 32 customer names and randomize them Top eight get a spot in the break So good luck rolling and do the break first three and a two five times One two three four Jonathan down a John five times five times one two three four 49ers out of the Patriots All right, I guess take to what you got give you a quick glance here teams are really quickly I'm with you TJ. Honestly We didn't get any we only got a lava we haven't got one of those Carolina blue hot boxes We haven't got a giraffe So we only got lava That's pretty much it like case it wise no color blast no giraffe like you're saying We haven't hit one of those Carolina blue hot boxes You know it was prism baseball. They always it's always great to me Always a great price point and like I said they have to make this better You know the main since they don't have the licensing to MLB So they really love prism baseball And I love all the color parallels and stuff like that that they do now with prism baseball giraffe I mean, I love that more prints. Keep it going What's up, Arthur? How's it going man? All right, so there you go quick glance at your teams Well, that's probably not the product for you Then you know prism prism is more rookies, you know The veteran stuff will be all the like inserts and short prints. That's for sure The prison's more about the the rookies than anything Brewers twins Royals Brewers twins Royals Brewers They have more paper really quick.

Our next panel discussion is going to talk about prerequisites of honing skills and ensuring seamless adaptivity to workplace. Noturing talent using the latest technologies and how the budding professionals can adjust and adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of the industry. We have a stellar panelist with us on talking about this topic. We have with us Madi Amritkar, founder and CEO, glad you came. Megha Bihal, Account Director, Hill and Nolten Strategies. Vasundra Singh, Senior Vice President, Business and Strategies, Value 360. We were also going to have Ms. Taruna Gupta, Season Communication Professional. But due to her ill health, she couldn't join us today, but we wish her a speedy recovery. And moderating this session is our very own from Exchange for Media, Shrabasti Malik. A very warm welcome to all of you. Good afternoon. Hi, good afternoon, everybody. Hi, good afternoon. Hi, a very warm welcome to Mr. Amritkar, Ms. Singh and Ms. Bell. Wonderful to have you in this session at the E4MPR and COPCOM 3030 Summit. The topic of the session is prerequisites of honing skills and ensuring seamless adaptivity to the workplace. And I would like to start my first question with the thought that every industry requires skills that need honing, that need training to become more successful. So on this slide, what are the fundamental lessons that a budding professional, especially in the PR and corporate communication industry, could invite from the industry leaders? If I could start with Ms. Singh. Thank you. Thank you so much, Shrabasti. And a very warm good afternoon to everybody here on the panel and thank you Exchange for Media for giving us this opportunity to be part of this conversation and also a big hi to everybody who is joined virtually. So coming to the first question, which is primarily what are some of the key lessons that budding professionals should invite from industry leaders? I have fundamentally, there are many things that a budding professional would learn and invite from industry leaders. But I'm just listing out top four key takeaways according to me. So first is learning never stops, be it at any level and be it whether you are intern or whether you reach the senior most position in your company. Now, all working or upcoming professionals in this industry need to have a very keen eye and a very keen interest in learning because that should be a constant thing. It's imperative for them to understand that while you are working, things around us are constantly changing. It is constantly evolving. And learning does not mean that you get a degree or you're just getting a certificate because it can be just learning on the job itself. And workplace demands competency according to me does not necessarily need a degree. So if we look at the industry as well as the media landscape, it is undergoing a tremendous amount of change with, you know, there has been a burst of digital, you know, evolved with this changing then the chances that you may become irrelevant. From a media landscape perspective also, I mean, if we see if we analyze when we were, you know, starting off, it was a different kind of reporting that used to happen. There were very minimal platforms that were there. It was pretty much traditional. It was almost like reporting packs today with the advent of so many new platforms. It's we're living almost in a clickbait kind of a world where everybody wants to break the news first. New media formats have emerged. You know, you have long analysis content platforms like your morning context, like your Ken, a lot of, of course, your traditional formats are there, your social media news platforms have emerged. So it's changing very dynamically. But I think this changing dynamic is to the advantage of the professionals because, you know, we were born in a very traditional setup and we had to migrate to learn the digital world. And these guys have actually, they have, they, they, they don't have to really migrate. They have actually been born as digital first itself and they already know the digital world better than anybody else. And so, but even for them, the scenarios is changing. New words, new, new buzzwords like, you know, web 3.0 or the revolution is happening metaverse is being spoken about. So professionals have to be very aware of these changing industry and, you know, media dynamics and know how to navigate and utilize them well. So learning becomes a very, very key new look. Second is, I think from, from second takeaway would be maintaining honesty with the clients team and focus on, you know, building an equation like a personal equation. Now, if you look at the best industry leaders that would have emerged in the last few years, they would always, they would always have the best relations with their clients.  Now, as PR professionals, right, expectation, setting with your client is also very important. Cause if you don't, and you agree to everything, ultimately, it will be you who will be like at the receiving end cause you won't be able to deliver cause of expectations are mismatched, right? So at the, at the onset, it's very important that, you know, you, you put your point of view across and later, because even when they see the results, no, even if initially there might be friction, but when they see the result in their favor, they are always going to appreciate the honesty and the right advice. And that's exactly what you're there for. So ideas invest in turning your clients and, you know, the comms team on your clients' time into extended teams, work with them like partners. It's, it's a relationship and rapport that you form with the comms team that is going to matter the most in the long run, like, like relation in our personal life also. And if you're able to do this well, a lot of times it'll be, you know, they will be pushing for you. They'll be the ones who will root for you the hardest. And at times you may even falter slightly.  Third takeaway for me is stability. I think stability is the key to attaining industry knowledge and eventually growing in your career. Now, a lot of upcoming and budding professionals need to understand the importance of, you know, building the right foundation, learning and experience early on. And you need to invest time if you have found a good organization which is providing you holistic development and the right opportunity. Invest time there. And if you see any respected and good industry leader today or in the last, you know, 10 years, one thing will be common thread that they would have been very stable and spent considerably time in a particular organization before, you know, moving. Or they would have invested good amount of time in learning initially also, because it's important to grow, not just monetarily, it's also important to grow functionally. And if you keep hopping from one place to the other, you may get, you may have monetary benefits initially, but from a learning path in terms of understanding the real challenges of the industry and understanding the craft or the trade, the craft and the trade, that will somewhere you will start lacking. So stability is a key to attaining right knowledge which will eventually lead to growth and success. Thank you, Ms. Singh. Thank you for your opening words. Ms. Behl, I would like to come to you and please share your ideas on the same that how these lessons should be given to the budding professionals. Thank you so much, Shabasti. So first of all, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. And I kind of agree with Vasundhra. I think today's generation is kind of very well informed and we all know that exposure levels that are given to them are much higher than most of us out here. And they are kind of more exposed to the digital world and they're just simply more connected in many ways possible. And when they join an organization, they come with a mindset that they want to do everything be it social, traditional, graphics, content, they would want to explore everything. However, I think it is very important for us as leaders to kind of enable them to dissect their knowledge which they have learned from universities or colleges and utilize that in a very right way and the right place. And maybe sometimes that might even include guiding them to slow down a little bit, take a pause, think, maybe take a step back and focus on certain key areas first and then move on to the next thing. And the second thing which I can speak from my personal experience from when I started my career is basically people management. And we all know that we are in the field of communication and even if it is any industry people management is something that is extremely important. I remember when I was young, I would just sometimes kind of speak my mind out. But, and I'm not saying that it's wrong in any way but we are in an industry wherein it is very important to kind of articulate the way you are communicating to both your peers, maybe internal stakeholders as well as external stakeholders. And of course, the skill comes with experience. And we as leaders, I think we should be here, we play a very important role in terms of guiding them to articulate before they kind of share their thoughts to the external media out there. So yes, I think these are some of the learnings from my younger days for people who are kind of starting their career in this industry. Thank you, Ms. Bhair for your points. So we're coming to the next question. And before coming to the next question, it's my kind request to all the panelists to keep your answers within one to two minutes, just keep it crisp and short. Thank you so much. So my next question is that how can agencies prepare young talent to celebrate successes and also learn from their failures? I would like to start with Mr. Amritkar. Sir, you're muted. Sir, you're on mute. Okay, thank you, Rochika, for your question. Coming back to the first question, I would like to say what I feel is the three important lessons for all the budding talent is the first one is time management because I feel time is an important asset and how because we just have so many hours in a day. So how are you gonna manage your time is I think gonna be an important aspect for all the budding people. Second, what I feel is about having the right communication because communication and having said that if you communicate things very clearly, it's important for your clients or internal team. So I feel communication is an important role where you can basically decide what you have to basically do in life. The third aspect, what I feel is take and learn from criticism because I see a lot of youths in the age bracket of 21 to 26, in the young generation out there, the Gen Zs we call, it's very difficult for them to adapt to the situation to handle stress and pressure at the time because this is what I've seen through my experience. So I think the message that I would like to give is to start taking because all 30 days are not gonna be your day, one day might be bad. So you'll have to learn from your mistakes and see how you basically eventually do better. The other message basically I would like to say is how, are you saying something? No, no, I was just agreeing to your point. Please continue. Okay, cool. The other thing is about how we basically wanna nurture the young talent is what I feel because we of course are a six years old agency based in Bombay. What I feel is having the right culture, having the right mindset because we have our off-site trips every six months. Like we just went to Agadpoori last week. Now our next trip is planning go. So I think having that right culture will help the people change their mindset because I see there is immense pressure everywhere. If you're working in a bank or any other agency. So I think for us, for us, we as an agency to have the right talent is of course having a proper training process at the start. Now if you see the IT companies like Accenture has a right training module which I feel we as an agency are somewhere lacking because once a fresher joins in we just basically give them a normal training and we just get them to work. So I feel a right training is required and we eventually try and create the right culture around us. I think it will help eventually create more young talents and have a right stability. I'm so sorry for my mistake. Thank you so much Mr. Amrukkar for your words. Ms. Behel, what do you think should the young talents should learn? How should they learn from their failures and how can agencies prepare them to celebrate the successes as well? I somewhere think that everything boils down to the work culture of an organization. I have seen that we generally kind of reward a person when someone has achieved a milestone or has accomplished something big. But somewhere I believe it should be the person's work ethic and also efforts that we need to acknowledge. Just a pat on the back for trying or putting effort every day is in itself a success for youngsters. And trust me, it kind of goes a long way in motivating people and retaining them in the organization. Talking about failure, I think I personally don't believe in this word failure and I always say this, it's basically a learning experience. We need to kind of create a culture wherein people can make mistakes. But as leaders, we need to ensure that they kind of learn from their mistakes and come out even stronger and better and not demotivated. So like I mentioned earlier, it is not failure, it's kind of a learning experience. And I will just like to quote a phrase that I recently read in an article by Sundar Pichai. He stated that reward efforts and not outcomes. And honestly, that says a lot for me. So I generally want to reward efforts and not outcomes. Definitely. Missing, what is your remark on the scene? So I think my comment here would be that our industry, when we look at the celebrating success and we look at learning from failures, I think this industry is a great level. You may have done a great job on one day, got a lot of accolades, got a lot of trying to appreciation, got a great story. And the very next day, it's not a great day and you would have missed an opportunity or you would have missed a great story or anything. So the industry itself is a great level or every day you're learning that not to take either success or failure too seriously. And I agree that the culture is very, very important in enabling an environment that can be motivating even if you make mistakes, it's okay. And I think from a success point of view, what young professionals need to understand very critical is that it should not get to your head. And you may plan a great campaign, but always remember that there are multiple hands and heads coming together as a team to make that possible. So it's very, very important that you understand the key roles that all team members have played and understand the power of teamwork when it comes to success. When it comes to failure, I think failure is the biggest opportunity to learn. And if you are able to just become systematic in your work, create a checklist, a checklist is something that we tell our clients all the time, that's the first thing that we do for our clients, but try and do that for your own self also whenever things are going wrong, build a checklist, follow the process, put processes in place, and the chances of you going wrong in your approach will be minimized effectively in future. So that would be my takeaway. We are just going to add one line. I think I agree too, as well, what you mentioned. I think small appreciations also make all this young talent feel because I have 30 people taking all our girls in my team and I tell them, oh, you're looking nice today and say you made my team. So I think a small appreciations in our standard meetings, I think we keep them motivated. I think learning has to be there. So I think just to add, I think I agree what we have to do as a, you know, talents and how we can eventually train them right. Absolutely. We talk about celebrating the success and learning from learning and relearning from failures and everything. But everybody knows that without risk nothing happens, neither failure nor success. So my next question is then why is it important for the young talent to take risks? I would like to start with Ms. Baird. Okay, so I'm going to be very candid about this here. I don't think today's generation needs a push to kind of take a risk. They're already taking, they're up for taking risks and I see this all the time in my organization and we have a high percentage of young employees working with us and they're always up to take more risks. They jump on opportunities. They want to work on new business pitches. They want to write content. They want to also be a part of a content team. They want to integrate in whatever way they can. So, and in fact, they kind of also reach out to leaders, mentors, asking if they can do something different than you. And I'll just say that they're quite fearless now when it comes to actually taking risks and that is something that I genuinely respect about them because they are all out. They want everything. So I think that's not a challenge for the young generation now. Definitely. Mr. Mukherjee, I'll take this question. I think I partly agree with Megha because of course I have a chunk of people who basically of course are there to learn. I have a person who's doing content, social media. But I feel there are a lot of people who are still not able to overcome that risk and are still in their comfort zone. So the message I would like to give them is of course you will have to overcome fears because if you say, oh no, I can't do this. I see a lot of people going through mental stress of course due to the COVID hit for two years. But the only thing I would like to say is not give up because if you don't try, you will not understand. That's how you learn from your mistakes and that's what I keep on mentoring my team whenever someone is in trouble. I personally, even if there's an intern, I personally talk to them because we don't know how people go and how what's happening in their personal life. But I feel they basically have to eventually take that risk, come out of their comfort zone, try new things. So I had one girl who had a stage fear and she started crying, oh, I can't do it. But I said, you'll have to push. We as a boss will have to eventually push you. Otherwise you won't learn things. So I think the message would like is that you'll of course have to tackle your mind in that situation because it's no one is gonna tell. No parents are gonna just tell and help but it is you, you have to decide what you have to do. So I think it's just that you have to push themself. We as leaders out here have to keep motivating them, give them surprises. That's how I think they'll be able to take that further step. Miss Singh, what would you like to say on this? No, I agree with the both of them. And I think I would like to just take a step back and in terms of more than why it is important for the young brigades to take risk. I think the pertinent question should be that how do we enable the young brigades to take risk? Because it is us as leaders to build that environment. And the first and foremost thing is that you have to, along with giving them responsibility and the push, you have to also give them a sense of ownership. Casing, so a lot of times there is a culture in the company where everything is vested, the decision making is vested on one person or just the team leaders. Now, if I look at my current organization itself as a casing point, we work almost like individual business units. Like every team leader is like an entrepreneur and within the unit they are given the right of ownership, responsibility, freedom to take calls and decisions, right? You're right from resource planning to building your team to MIS, planning your top line, bottom line. And that trickles down to even the junior level people and the mid-level people where not for everything you need the approval of your senior most person. So I think that kind of environment will help them to start taking decisions from a very early stage, which will eventually help them also to take risks eventually. And the second important point in this is that also pushing the young professionals into creative and out-of-the-box thinking from the start. So a lot of times when you're working on big mandates or big pitches or big campaigns, you're so bogged down by it that you only go to your best people, like your senior most people, but you forget that sometimes even the upcoming talent of the junior people, an idea can come from anywhere, right? And sometimes it comes from the most and the least expected places. So the idea is that you recognize people who have a creative bent of mind and hone that talent well. You give them a framework, give them an understanding of how campaign planning works so that they are able to think within that framework and come back to you with ideas which can actually add value to the larger client narratives. So coming to the last question of this session and also it can be considered as a concluding remark for all the panelists, how can young professionals identify opportunities and leverage them? Mr. Amrutkar, please take over. Okay, thank you. Okay, so I feel the basic thing of identifying is that you basically need to enjoy what you do. If you don't love what you do, then I think you're not at the right place. I think the first important aspect for any young talent who's trying to make their career in PR has to that they have to enjoy. To give my example, when I started my journey with Archduck and later I figured that what is what I want to do. When I used to go with my friends in the malls, I figured that fashion is what inclines me. So that's how I basically now running a fashion PR agent. So I think the first thing that, and the other thing what I feel is, of course you have to keep growing. Everything is a learning, each day is a learning. So you have to keep learning things, do your research, do your homework. I think that is what I tell my teammates as well, that you have to keep your eyes. Instagram is there, but you just have to take the points what campaigns are happening. So I think the learning has to keep on going on. So I think these are some important points where I feel that young talent has to eventually keep in mind. Ms. Singh, what are your concluding remarks on this? Great. So I like to share a very interesting conversation that I, so I was in Mumbai a couple of weeks back and I met this very senior COPCOM head and of a very, very reputed MNC almost. And he was sharing his experience of how, a lot of students today and a lot of students in Mascom, et cetera, are not looking at PR as a career option because he was visiting a very reputed academic institute. And he said that, the Dean was sharing that how in the entire Mascom PR is at the lowest end of the students' preference. And that was something which was very some. So the idea first is for us, how can young talent identify opportunity is one thing. But firstly, we need to identify and do PR almost for PR industry. So that the young talent, upcoming talent can start seeing the opportunities in the PR industry itself, right? Coming to the existing set of professionals and what they need to do is firstly, you need to do more than your job description. So don't wait for an opportunity because then opportunity is there. And you just have to keep your eyes and ears open. Sometimes it can even mean going beyond your existing KRA. Like I know a lot of people in my current organization also who've gone much beyond their KRA and they've done things which were not really expected out of them. But today that has helped them grow professionally and they've actually become pillars of strength, pillars of this organization almost. So I'm saying go beyond your KRA. Don't stick to your job description.  So you need to be very aware of what is happening around you. And by being aware and knowing what's happening around you, you may open a new opportunity for you. You might be able to create something valuable from things that are changing around you. And you may be the first one actually to understand that category and turn it into an opportunity. So be aware of what is happening around you in terms of buzzwords, the new trends that are coming. And there are so many new formats. It's not just news. There are so many verified options for you to actually consume content from and build on your industry knowledge. Ms. Bail, what are your concluding remarks? Honestly, I think it will be unfair if you kind of club it under one or two umbrella. It purely depends from person to person. I think there are some who come with a clear direction and a clear mindset that what they want from an organization and what are their future goals going to be. Such young professionals, I think, should identify a mentor in the organization and kind of reach out to them, asking for suggestions on how they can enhance their skills and obviously how they can reach kind of their growth. Whereas there might be also a set who are not really clear to what they want from an organization or what direction should they go in. So for them too, I think it is very important to again identify a colleague or a mentor with whom they can discuss their interests, skills, areas of improvement and maybe seek help to kind of outline a roadmap for their growth, keeping all these factors in mind. In overall, I think it is important for an organization to identify skills and interest areas of such kind of people and accordingly give them roles which is suited to that particular person. Thank you so much, Ms. Behl. Thank you to all the panelists for joining here for us and for having such an insightful conversation. I'm sure all the viewers have noted down the points that you discussed and thank you so much for joining. Thank you so much. Thank you, thanks a ton. Have a good day, everybody.


Is your school truly embracing all forms of feedback? Now it costs nothing to embrace better forms of feedback. The wisdom of all our experiences in the classroom is broad and complex. So why are we still fixated on written feedback? Is it right that verbal feedback is often overlooked in some of our classrooms? Is it right that some teachers are asked to evidence verbal feedback? And is it right that some of us do not know how to evidence nonverbal feedback? So of course written feedback has a place, but so do many others. We need a broader, more sophisticated approach to feedback, not just isolated by the subjects we teach or in certain schools or by our own teacher experiences. And I think neglect in a wider view of feedback is essentially ignoring other key aspects of our teaching expertise. There's nothing more transformative than refined feedback methods. It's astonishing how it remains untapped in many schools that I visit. So I want to help. So my new research guide to feedback, I want you to click the link, shape the teaching game, click this link, and let your insights help us all to rethink formative assessment.
