Ada's Ideas: The Story of Ada Lovelace, the World's First Computer Programmer

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was the daughter of Lord Byron, a poet, and Anna Isabella Milbanke, a mathematician. Her parents separated when she was young, and her mother insisted on a logic-focused education, rejecting Byron's mad love of poetry. But Ada remained fascinated with her father and considered mathematics poetical science. Via her friendship with inventor Charles Babbage, she became involved in programming his Analytical Engine, a precursor to the computer, thus becoming the world's first computer programmer. This picture book biography of Ada Lovelace is a compelling portrait of a woman who saw the potential for numbers to make art.

Organizational Socialization Guide for Baggage, Luggage and Other Containers of Emotion (E03): A sho

This is a rhymed story is about onboarding new hires, told through the innocent eyes of a Suitcase's experience with a new employer. And yes, suitcases have a job to do. What's the story with this Suitcase? Just like all of the characters in our metaphor universe, this is another gender-ethnic-religious neutral metaphor. It's about your everyday goody two shoes, being enthusiastic about 1st day at work. That's when employees are at their peak motivation and their workplace mental health is fully charged. And yet so few employers get this onboarding journey right, transforming workplace wellness into workplace bullying. Our naive little Suitcase dreams of an ideal and textbook Onboarding process... You know, the one that stimulates your process of making sense in new surroundings and help you make new friends. But then, reality hits you in the face like Mike Tyson... Where's the lesson? We are all Suitcases in one way or another - with emotional baggage and luggage accumulated over time. This is the most relatable story ever told - because we have all experienced it personally. So we use this sentiment to illustrate how an ideal onboarding process should look like, relevant both for new hires, hiring managers, as well as your direct manager. Time to rethink how organizational socialization, integration and onboarding employees can be done better.

The Incredibly True Story of Personal Branding and the Different Hats We Wear (E02): A story about c

This is a rhymed story is about Captain Bossman's personal branding adventure and how your CV or resume writing can be turned into a cult classic! It's all about how you frame the narrative... What's the story with these statues? At first glance these statuesque creations look like characters from a superhero academy, but they're a part of our gender-ethnic-religious neutral metaphor universe. It's a story about our protagonist Captain Bossman, the ultimate mentor, a statue from the Hall of heroes, a memento-vivere and a zeitgeist of times gone by. This fictional character with a rich story to match an even richer personality has seen it all. Although being drawn as a masculine anthropomorphic statue, our character's main values endorse a universally inclusive prosocial approach towards humanizing work in the modern era. Is it a personal branding book? Well, yes and no. It's about the different hats we wear on our jobs, sometimes working multiple positions without acknowledging how valuable and difficult that is. We use the example of Captain Bossman wearing the mentor's hat across different jobs, to showcase just how important it is to emphasize your qualities to gain workplace appreciation. The art is in doing it without overdoing it and turning to overselling to gain some appreciation of your skills. Where's the lesson? We use the 'many hats of Captain Bossman' metaphor as an example of viewing yourself as a human brand both online and offline. If you're a human brand, then every professional workplace experience is a chance to showcase some of your qualities, right? Different qualities you emphasize in different positions across different industries help tell the story of your professional life. A narrative that is interesting and worthy of everyone's time, teaching us a bit about the human experience.

Wissen fürs Ohr: Etwas mehr Hirn, bitte / Männer - Das schwache Geschlecht und sein Gehirn / Die Mac

Etwas mehr Hirn, bitte (gelesen von Gerald Hüther)Die Freude am eigenen Denken und die Lust am gemeinsamen Gestalten sind die großen Themen dieses Buches. Gerald Hüther macht deutlich: Jedes lebende System kann das in ihm angelegte Potential am besten in einem koevolutiven Prozess mit anderen Lebensformen zur Entfaltung bringen. Oder einfacher: Gemeinsam kommen wir weiter als allein. Doch alte, gebahnte Denkmuster verhindern, was für das Entstehen von Potentialentfaltungsgemeinschaften erforderlich ist: Vertrauen, Austausch, Begegnung. Wenn wir erkennen, dass unser Gehirn sein Potential in Netzwerken mit anderen entfalten kann, dass wir in all unserer Verschiedenheit zusammengehören, voneinander abhängig und miteinander verbunden sind, dann öffnet sich auch der Weg in eine hoffnungsvolle Zukunft, denn: Gemeinsam verfügen wir über deutlich mehr Hirn als allein! Die Macht der inneren Bilder (gesprochen von Jan Reinartz)Innere Bilder - das sind all die Vorstellungen, die wir in uns tragen und die unser Denken, Fühlen und Handeln bestimmen. Es sind Ideen und Visionen von dem, was wir sind, was wir erstrebenswert finden und was wir vielleicht einmal erreichen wollen. Es sind abgespeicherte Muster, die wir benutzen, um uns in der Welt zurechtzufinden. Wir brauchen diese Bilder, um Handlungen zu planen, Herausforderungen anzunehmen und auf Bedrohungen zu reagieren. Eingängig und mit gewohnter Leichtigkeit in der Sprache eröffnet uns Gerald Hüther eine faszinierende Welt: die der inneren Bilder und ihrer Kraft in unserem Leben. Bedienungsanleitung für ein menschliches Gehirn (gesprochen von Jan Reinartz)Die Art und Weise, wie wir unser Gehirn nutzen, hat einen entscheidenden Einfluss darauf, welche neuronalen Verschaltungen angelegt und stabilisiert werden - oder auch nicht. Die innere Struktur und Organisation unseres Gehirns passt sich also an seine konkrete Benutzung an. So stellt sich also die Frage, wie wir eigentlich mit unserem Gehirn umgehen müssten, damit es zur vollen Entfaltung der in ihm angelegten Möglichkeiten kommen kann. Gerald Hüther übersetzt die faszinierenden Erkenntnisse der Neurobiologie in eine verständliche Sprache und macht deutlich wie wir für unser eigenes Leben profitieren können: Indem wir selbst Verantwortung übernehmen und sie nicht an Instanzen delegieren. Männer - Das schwache Geschlecht und sein Gehirn (gesprochen von Gerald Hüther)Wie wird ein Mann ein Mann? Warum hat für viele Jungen und Männer oft gerade das so große Bedeutung, was Mädchen und Frauen ziemlich schnuppe ist? Männer sind von anderen Motiven geleitet und benutzen deshalb ihr Gehirn auf andere Weise - und damit bekommen sie zwangsläufig auch ein anderes Gehirn. Wenn es Männern gelänge, sich nicht an Wettbewerb und Konkurrenz auszurichten, sondern die in ihnen angelegten Potenziale zu entfalten, fände eine Transformation auf dem Weg zur Mannwerdung statt. Dann gäbe es kein schwaches Geschlecht mehr.
