Running from Ourselves

As part of International Imposter Syndrome Awareness Day, members of the Silicon Guild have joined forces to share their thoughts on and experiences with imposter syndrome. You can read my contribution here, followed by other Guild members’ essays further below. There’s an interesting link between imposter syndrome and humans’ (in)ability to slow down. We may fear being “found out” for who we really are, so we keep running ever-faster. But in what direction?

Coronavirus: The End of the Sharing Economy, or a New Beginning?

12 years ago, the smartphone was in its infancy. Neither Airbnb nor Uber, Lyft or TaskRabbit yet existed. Saying the phrase ‘sharing economy’ usually resulted in raised eyebrows: was that some kind of hippie bartering, or a new take on philanthropy?

The Mindset We’ll Need to Get Through the Coronavirus

A ‘flux mindset’ can help us navigate the future of work — or a global pandemic — Under normal circumstances, an American citizen on a month-long business trip across several countries in Asia would be no news whatsoever. But the coronavirus chaos is anything but normal, and — I’m beginning to realize — my experiences here are giving me a unique perspective. So far, I’ve been in…

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go Public!

Uber, Lyft & This Fleeting Moment Ten years ago, the word “uber” meant extreme, excessive or superlative. It did not trigger notions of ridehailing, protests or public policy dilemmas. Ten years ago, Lyft did not exist: as a company, a noun or a verb. Ten years ago, in May 2009…

10 Resources to Cultivate & Inspire Global Citizenship

For years, I have tracked “global citizenship” newsfeeds and proactively surfaced the topic in conversation. In recent months there has been an uptick, both unexpected and exciting, in the frequency with which this term is brought up by others. At least a few times a week I’m asked about what…

The Sharing Economy Goes Public. Now What?

In less than a decade, the sharing economy has gone from a fringe term to daily headlines worldwide. It has disrupted and even transformed entire sectors: from transportation to hospitality, office space and fashion. Knock-on effects include new insurance solutions and tax conundrums. …

Davos 2019: Discourse & Disconnects

Hong Kong 2019: Envisioning (and Exploring) Our Asian Future

Throughout my extended globetrotting years, many moons ago, I wrote detailed travelogues religiously. I cherished these notes from the road, so much so that I put my travel journals in a safe-deposit box. Never mind jewels: what I learned from these experiences and adventures felt far more valuable.

Citizenship: The Hardest Questions

Citizenship is part lottery ticket to the world, part historical symbol, part cultural artifact, and part political straightjacket. It defines where we can go, work and move, and how we’re seen in the world at large. At least initially, it is independent of what we know and how we contribute…

Shifting Tides in the New Economy

For as “new” and unprecedented as the new economy may seem— from business models based on our phones to freemiums, disintermediation and the blockchain — it’s not nearly as new as one might believe. When we take a step back and take a genuinely hard look at what’s going on…
