March already feels like a long time ago, yet it was a surprisingly memorable month, and not just because it was my birthday month. I really should get these monthly wrap-up posts out sooner, but before everything fades into the blur of “earlier this year,” here’s a quick look at three moments from March that … Continue reading What happened: March 2026
I’ve always held strong opinions on how organizations tackle learning, development and career growth. Rarely have I come across solutions that truly impressed me, though I’ve never questioned their importance. When I began my career, assigned learning hours, in‑person training sessions, and large learning and development teams that swore by the 70:20:10 rule were the … Continue reading LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report 2025: What it Reveals About Work Today
February began quietly and then all at once it changed its mind and delivered seismic shifts; from AI-driven overhauls and ethical standoffs to geopolitical shocks rewriting daily operations. Block slashed nearly half its workforce in one bold stroke, Jack Dorsey arguing it beats the morale-killing drip of endless cuts. The Middle East conflict spiked oil … Continue reading What happened: February 2026

There’s a new economic term making the rounds in tech circles. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spotlighted it in his January 2025 post on X. Then, a senior leader brought it up in a recent conversation. Having heard it more than twice in the past year, I got curious: why is Jevons’ Paradox suddenly everywhere in … Continue reading Jevons’ Paradox: Why is it suddenly popular again?
My favourite podcasters don’t make predictions. Instead, they call them wishes. Predictions are a dime a dozen, mostly similar and already overdone by mid-January. But wishes? They add a touch of rebellion against what’s supposed to be realistic. Every year, the duo behind The Best One Yet, a sharp and witty daily business podcast by … Continue reading Three wishes for 2026
With everyone poring over predictions about star signs, stock markets, and elections, it feels only fair that the world of work gets its turn with the crystal ball. Last month, I looked back at my 2025 predictions and graded myself, which hopefully earned me enough credibility before I attempt this all over again. So this … Continue reading The Top Work Trends to Watch out for in 2026
2026 has somehow shown up at the doorstep, uninvited and suspiciously early. I am still nowhere close to halfway through my 2025 goals, yet the avalanche of “wrapped” messages and year-end posts has made it abundantly clear that the year is officially done and dusted, and that it is, apparently, time to put my feet … Continue reading 2025 World of Work Wrapped
On November 10, 2025, a seemingly simple Thanksgiving letter quietly marked the end of an era. Warren Buffett is “going quiet” as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, and with him goes a 60‑year tradition of annual shareholder letters that have shaped how generations think about business, leadership, and life. When he started writing to Berkshire shareholders … Continue reading Warren Buffet’s Last Thanksgiving Letter as CEO
My father often jokes that he and I live better lives than Queen Victoria did. At first glance, this comparison seems absurd - after all, she ruled the world's most powerful empire of her time. Yet, while Her Majesty commanded vast resources and armies, she lacked what we consider basic amenities today: no temperature control … Continue reading Creative Destruction: The key to innovation
