Dating apps seem to be the hot topic of conversation as of late—but not for the best reasons... 🐝🔥 First, Bumble. The dating app’s latest billboard campaign is sparking passionate social-media discourse accusing Bumble of dismissing women’s (perfectly valid) choice to be celibate. They've since issued an apology and said that they will be removing these ads from their global marketing campaign and donating to charity. Then, there's Tinder and Hinge. Six plaintiffs sued Match Group, the parent company of Tinder and Hinge, claiming that they gamify dating and turn users into "addicts.” They also claimed that Match Group isn’t interested in helping users find genuine connections, but instead, they want to keep users purchasing subscriptions and other paid perks to help boost revenue, according to NPR. If you’re currently single, or have been in the past few years, you’ve probably felt the growing frustration around dating apps. Dating can feel hopeless. So much so that people are ditching the apps altogether in favor of trying to find love the old fashion way. Which is easier said than done. But are dating apps the problem, or are we the problem? 🤔 Today's guest is Stephanie Danzi, the senior vice president of global marketing at Tinder. Avery and Stephanie chat about dating app burnout, what people are getting wrong about Tinder, and whether dating apps will ever go away. Tune in now! https://lnkd.in/g9Gbxicg

I was put in the friend-zone. 😐 Here's what it taught me about asking for a promotion: Just kidding, but seriously. Someone asked us: "I want to go for a promotion, and I know I was hired a step below so I have the skill set, how should I approach it all?" And our course instructor Tori Lazar took us step by step on what to say, how to stay motivated and when to leave in our recent AMA session! 🤔 1. Get clear on WHY you’re worthy of a promotion. Synthesize and present your outcomes and impact up until this point. 🎨 2. Paint the picture of how you’d like to grow. Use these prompts as a jumping board: — Is there an open role or a particular position that you’re going for and can base this on? — What projects are you interested in contributing to that you aren’t included in right now? — Why do your differentiators and strengths uniquely position you to take on such things? — Why is this valuable for your growth? What muscles or skills are you trying to flex and build? ✍ 3. Have high-value questions ready to go about their compensation and promotion philosophy. — How do they determine who is given a promotion? What are the metrics? What’s the process to be considered? — What’s the salary band at this particular level and how is the final number and benefits package determined? How would your current compensation package change? — Why wouldn’t they be open to giving you a promotion right now? Are there any challenges or obstacles to be aware of? How can your supervisor help you overcome them? 🧠 4. Know your non-negotiables and set decision-making deadlines. 🗣 5. Make moves. Get the conversation on the calendar and ensure your supervisor is aware of the discussion topic so they aren’t left in the dark or taken off-guard. Then, PRACTICE your delivery points. 🧘♀️ 6. Lastly, if fear is creeping in or holding you back, use this as your mantra to drive through it – “Well-prepared people are courageous people. I am well-prepared and I am courageous.” Want in on the next AMA session with Tori? These sessions are exclusive to people who have our "Spark Your Career Renaissance" course!

"You're not being as intellectually stimulated as you think you are if everyone around you is saying the same thing." These are the kinds of truth-telling one-liners Africa Brooke is known for.

In her new book, The Third Perspective, coming out on May 14, Africa invites us to return to critical thinking and reduce the pressure we all feel to share our thoughts publicly on social media (where not having the "right" opinion can have damaging consequences).
