"Confidence is serious business, and the single most important differentiator in the workplace," Low-Kramen wrote in her book, which published in February. Stop apologizing unnecessarilyFor many people, saying "I'm sorry" after certain situations, even those that don't require an apology, is second nature. This is especially true for women, Low-Kramen wrote. Rather than saying 'I'm sorry, we need to reschedule the appointment,' say 'Thank you for working with my schedule.'" Instead, "slow it down, lower the pitch of your voice and turn up the volume" to be taken more seriously, Low-Kramen wrote.

The great remote work debateAs part of the war over remote work, employers and employees alike have debated whether or not a mandatory return-to-office policy actually works. With two kids at home, the flexibility of remote work — coupled with no commute — was a boon. The firms that are succeeding at remote work have saved money from giving up office leases and are making their employees feel happier along the way. "You're still in meetings, you're still engaged, but you're not under the thumb of somebody — not treated like a child." Have you quit over remote work, or are contemplating it?

“All of Russia’s neighbors are under threat,” he said, “if Ukraine does not prevail.” He will find few who disagree among those neighbors. It’s why Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, one of the most eloquent proponents of the need to support Ukraine, says Ukraine is Estonia’s own front line. Here, the exterior of Russia’s embassy has become a showcase for the contempt Estonians feel for their former master. As in Estonia, Russia’s 21st century assault on Ukraine brought echoes of Russia’s 20th century subjugation of Latvia. Genuine normalcy, a permanent sense of safety, Russia’s neighbors have discovered, will have to wait until peace returns to a secure Ukraine.

Elon Musk is one of the most divisive tech and business personas of our time, and there is much chatter about what shapes his beliefs and business choices.
